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.
Additional Thanks. To Tim of the MegablitzandMore blog for supplying some interesting figures towards my WW2 Soviet Army. To Mark of ManOfTin Blog for a horde of Airfix WW2 figures. And to my friend Graham Apperley of TalesfromtheToyRoom Blog for his generosity in supplying some lead scenic items for my collection.

THE DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY C.1900

Well here is my first post to show some 54mm toy soldiers. The castings were original lead William Britains in need of some urgent repair (this phrase will crop up quite often). It took a little while to recruit these fellows off Ebay as I was determined to have them with visible gaiters, most broken castings having trousers, and my funds are strictly limited. The rifle barrels are now repaired, and I used miliput and some home-cast heads. I think their green home-service helmets are a colourful addition to any British 1880-1900 toy army.
