That truly is very cool. I think as toy soldier collectors we do a disservice to our collection by only buying what we know and things from "toy soldier" companies. I also have random items like that mixed into my collection. They often work very well with what we have, as you have shown! Great piece. Enjoy

I find the hardest thing on ebay is figuring out what to search for. What were your search terms for something like that? (or were you specifically looking for it)

To try to find Heco Tinplate Models items which are not listed as Heco, I search "Tinplate Plane", "Tinplate Boat", Tinplate Tank", etc., and sometimes cool things like a "Tinplate U-Boat" pop up.

New Forces of Valor (Unimax) 1/32, figures are in plastic and respecting the rule 1/32, meaning the figures are 54mm from sole to top of head = 1.72m in real life . ( King and Country on the other hand, respect the 1/32 rule for the vehicle but the 54mm rule for figures from sole to the eyes, meaning particularly tall guy ( almost all basket players ) when compared to the global 1/32 rule
Here my Flakpanzer IV Wirberlwind and my US M3 Bradley Baghdad 2003

I just got the 3 box Glenn Miller set (Frontline). It's a great set (horrible photo). I think it originally came with a poster of a B-17 in a hangar, but that is missing so a K7C p51 will have to do for now!

 

[Louis Badolato]

I've always loved that set, Zach!^&cool

Picked up another couple of TCS Agincourt figures.

Not exactly a toy soldier but I do drive one of these around every day, even this very bus the model is based on.


Oh yea, always wanted a Dalek....'EXTERMINATE!'
