SPECIAL THANKS. I would like to thank Paul Watson for his sponsorship of several lead figure collections on this blog. Having decided to clear his spare/surplus figures, he generously forwarded them on with no other requirement than they deserved to be restored. I would also like to mention George S. Mills, who kindly furnished a quantity of plastic figures which greatly enhanced several collections.

THE ROYAL MARINES ARRIVE

Having only four marines in my collection, decided it was time to recruit a full battalion. Repairing old and broken W.Britains toy soldiers, these fellows are now ready to join the Royal Navy Landing Party.

      Thanks Mark, restoring these broken soldiers is a hobby in itself, so gaming with them is a bonus.

    Lobsters and Tars, can't do without them, esp when they are so bright and shiny!

      Yes indeed Ross. I somewhat fear the next step is to have a gunboat.
