Miltary Toy Collecting

[Gil Boyd]

Well my excuse is my Grandson aged 1. I am collecting as many Dinky Military toys for him now as the prices seem to be sky high.
The only difference is, I am buying them complete in their original boxes so that when he gets to play with them he can retain the boxes and their inherant value for his children and onwards.
I was a bit p***** off when I found one or two of them had fake/copy/photostated boxes, which weren't declared, but again I should have known better, that is what that particular site is good at..............selling RARE AUTHENTIC ONE OFF NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN items .......NOT!
I bought a couple of Chieftains on their Antars in their very original boxes which I know cost a bit in the day, so hopefully he will have a great collection by the time I get bored with it, or run out of pennies!!

Building two Charlie G's at the moment is model making at its best.................. larger than life bits, rather than tiny parts and tubes of glue and sticky back plastic on skeleton pop off ribs, which are best painted before detaching if I remeber the correct way to do it
