Odds Ends Part Four Part Four Axel’s Photo Axel
Axel I met through a sale on Ebay. We later met a a Plastic Warrior. Axel has done some very nice conversions which I have some in my collection. He will have some of his conversion figures for sale at the German show on December 2. in Herne. Two of the figures he will be selling at the show are above. One is an axe man, other a sword figure.
He broke down the make up of the two figures. The axe fighter has Timpo ax,head,upper and lower body. The shield is resin, basefrom Texas figure with the helmet, feather and dagger tin.
On the sword fighter with winged helmet the upper and lower body are Timpo. As to the cloak it is plastic and shield is Britains. finally head, sword and base are tin.
You see other of Axel’s work at this site.

Odds Ends Part Four Part Four Axel’s Photo Finds
I did two events before the York Toy show. One was an indoor garage sale the other was an outdoor flea market. I got to the flea market late and most of the dealers had gone. One dealer had a partial set of the Safari Civil War. Seeing how nice they are I picked up and will check out my local craft shops in the near future.
One thing I was able to do which I have not done in a long time is compare different figures. In the above photo I put an Accurate and Marx Confederates with the Safari Confederate. I think it will work well with these figures and others. What do you think?
New Mars Japanese sets have 15 figures. One officer and two each of the other seven poses in a yellowish tan
Weird that Mars put out the Japanese when the Pirates were shown first.
Yeah those pirates looks too good x then I guess.
Mars has about eight 1/32 scale figure sets in development and some are moving faster than others to completion. WWII German Waffen SS in winter dress will probably be out next and then German Naval Troops and the hopefully the pirates all in December.
Great!!.As far they don’t make german naval troops with bandanas cutlass and wood legs i think they can sale…

Those safari LTD figures are copies of actually DGN also sold under red cat 14 poses set i sale and have plenty,they are actually increase scale of all HO size ESCI ACW sets ,that is reason the rifles were not such detail and bulky looking ,the chinese varied a bit few poses.
