Hello, I am new to the Toy soldier world, so please excuse me for not having much knowledge about them. I have purchased a maker/ collectors lot of 4,000 pieces. It is a varied lot with British, French soldiers. There are also horses and riders as well.Some soldiers at ease some kneeling and so on. I also have about 1,500 pieces of unpainted soldiers.I would like to sell the whole as a lot. These were as far as I have been told were made from the mid 60's to the early 80's- apparently cast from Valiant molds. The man who made them passed away 10 years ago and they have been wrapped and stored since then.He cast, and painted each and every one. I look at them and think how passionate he must have been. you can mail me at robt.mckinnon@gmail if interested.Bobbly

Hi, Bobby, welcome to our forum!
I'll second Gideon, some photos would be nice, and I'll say that I may be interested in some of your castings.
Here are two threads in the forum regarding posting pictures. One is from the forum FAQs:
http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_albums
and this is a thread from the Forum How-To's subforums, on posting pictures:

Many of us use online hosting sites, like Photobucket or Fotki. Those sites provide link information, that we insert into our posts on this and other forums, and those links return the image when someone views the post. You can also store photos on your local machine (ie, your PC) and insert them with the Image function that is enabled when you add a post. There are restrictions on the size of the image, in that case, but I don't know more details about those restrictions, off the top of my head.
I also suggest that you might want to give a brief list of some of the figures you have, to further whet our appetites. Some might not be too willing to email a new person, thereby giving up our email addresses. Sometimes, too, some folks who sell via the forum ask for people to respond via the private message feature, which also preserves our anonymity.
Hope that helps!
Prost!
Brad
