I have "The Big Man" Alan Wilson of the Shangani Patrol. I am very very new to toy soldier collections, so excuse me if my questions sound silly. I have been reading and researching through the forums and noticed that not much is said about the Shangani Patrol. Can anyone give me any information, even point me in the right direction to finding it's value? Produced by Martin Tabony, who I understand to be quite respected in this field, for Toy Soldier and Model Figure, Special Edition. Thanks so much! Jacqi

No idea of the value I'm afraid Jacqui but I would love to see a picture of the set.

Hi Martyn!! I have been trying to upload the pictures of my soldiers for you but I cannot resize them correctly. If I sent them to you in an e-mail attachment, would you be willing to give me your opinion of their worth? I would appreciate your expertise! Thanks! Jacqi

A real blast from the past! Well I've found the mould! but I don't think that helps^&grin To the best of my recolection I made two batches of fifty each but I couldn't swear to it, the second batch could have been a hundred. The paper work will be in a big box somewhere!
I do remember that Bob Black wrote the article about the patrol that the "Big Man" was based on.

Not a toy soldier, but related.........slightly..........^&grin
I have just found a copy of an RCA Victor South Africa record by Nick Taylor
A side U.D.I. SONG
B side SHANGANI PATROL
Apparently it topped the charts in SA in the mid 60's, probably did quite well in Rhodesia as well :wink2:
Great record, now on my Jukebox {bravo}}
