Just saw the thread...
Tyler, Johannes is right, your plastic guys are Airfix knock-offs, the originals were of much higher quality. Boxed mint or near-mint Airfix sets are still available on Ebay and not that expensive.
Toy soldiers were my addiction before I got into German militaria, I still have a rather large collection (mostly tin/lead, 54mm Germans and Napoleonics). I lost a lot of plastic boxed sets (some quite rare) in a break-up with one of the psycho girlfriends (long story...) but I still have all the metal ones.

Eric or Gary: the large grey soldier was made by Marx in the 60s, it should be stamped Marx on the bottom if its original.

Ralph: thats a very nice Elastolin or Lineol piece you got there, hard to find with flag intact and no paint loss. Is it marked on the bottom?

K&C was a good maker, too bad it is no more. Remember their Honor Guard sets?

Bought this little fella in the early 90's in a small antique-shop in the ' Elzas', France.

1/35 scale 'Good Old Monty' = Montgomery

by ' Miniploms', Alymer,...Made in Spain
It looks old for sure, but's not dated
Sorry for the bad quality of the picture

ps : does somebady has ' DEETAIL', ( Britains LTD 1971 ) figures? I know that they were quiet expensive. I had around 50 of them when I was a kid, try to find them...


kind regards
