Peter Evans Finds for October

Our very good friend Peter Evans has sent us another great package with great surprises.  The first one is this off the wall tank.

Who came up with the idea that a tank should have three gun barrels! For some reason the tanks that  I gotten from Peter  are much nicer than what we get in our bags.

The set comes with copies of Airfix figure downsize to 45mm plus some standard pieces found in other China sets.

Next we have these resin 54mm pirates.  The figures are nicely detailed.

Staying we have this  4 inch Pirate. It is an original figure based on Blackbeard.

evans235We have three cavalry figures that Peter has  painted. Without paint these figures would end up in a junk box. The figures are poor copies of Timpo first version  Swoppet Cavalry.

The last item that Peter sent us were three Lone Star Swoppet knights. These figures were done toward the end of  Lone Star and are hard to find.  The figures are incomplete. One figure has a Timpo base, the other figure needs a base. I like the kneeling bowman which you can see is based on the Britains Swoppet Crossbow man. The Britains crossbowman was the first Britains Swoppet knight I got as a child.  I played with it until I lost the crossbow.  I later got a mint one, which I kept. These figures are a welcome addition to the collection.
