The first is of castings I made from your Traditional Toy Soldier set at the rear, with a couple of Scotties I made in metal moulds with lead I pinched off bomb sites in 1947. I was a newspaper boy at the time and the newaget sold them for 5 bob a dozen as boxed sets and gave me half a crown.
My first venture into the commercial world!
The second picture I've titled 'Closing time at the Red Lion'.
Incidentally my grandsons were thrilled with our toy soldier making at the weekend.
