A few day's ago I was cleaning up a closest and boy what you can find when you haven't looked in it for many years. That is besides all the junk you can throw away.
First there is this box filled with 1:72 models mainly filled with WWII minis.
It contains, all kind of British troops, German troops, Australian troops, USA Airfield troops and USA WWI troops.
Some vehicles and last a Airfix pontoon bridge in HO-OO scale. This bridge has a total length of 65 cm.
All what you see here is between 30 and 35 years old.

The next thing I found was a bag full of large scale WWII models. Product name is unknown to me. Like the Airfix minis what you see here is between 30 and 35 years old.
Now lets see what the bag contains.

This was part 1 for now. Soon there will be a part 2 but that part ain't about WWII stuff but something completely different.
Thanks for looking.
Now that is a nice haul of nostalgia!

Altijd leuk, oude zooi :-) Kwam laatst zelf Battle tech miniatures tegen waarvan ik geen flauw idee had dat ik ze ooit had gehad...
ReplyDeletewow, super vintage, brings back memories.
ReplyDeletethanks for that.
Ahhhhh, I'm sure all these old gamers would have wargame stash hidden around the house and back sheds. Yep, its always a joy finding them, brings back a few old memories. Well, not too old I hope.
ReplyDeleteDont know your age but given the stuff you must be Ancient ....... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Enough of the 'old' and the 'nostalgia' comments. I'll have you know that, to me, a lot of this stuff is still very serviceable. 20mm plastic WW2 stuff rules! The Airfix bridges are still doing me stirling service and you should all check out the great new stuff too, especially on PSR's site. Don't you listen to them Hein, we're not old, we're seasoned. Carry on the good work!
