Junior's Lego

 The Grandson Junior loves making Lego Minecraft models.

Here are four of his latest creations.

See what you think.

This sword is from small beads rather than Lego.

PLANES

I picked these up last month, a bundle of old metal planes and copters.

The green jet is Japanese tinplate, the rest are cast metal.

The small headless plane at the bottom is a cap banger I think.

Most of the cast models have the names of the planes on the undercarriage.

An interesting bunch.

A Look of Total Terra

 I'm not a Terrahawks fan - I simply didn't see it as I lived abroad at the time - but I appreciate the effort that went into designing the neat fleet.

So distinct are they and so orange, that its easy spotting the Bandai Popy toys from the show when on a car boot stall.

Bingo!

I picked these two up for a pound each. Not complete, they've since made two proper Terrahawks fans happy via eBay! 

Are they vehicles and toys you like readers? 

New Bullycan SpaceX Aircraft Carrier Labelling

 Recently seen on a Spanish auction, this bagged Bullycan plastic aircraft carrier has headers not seen on MC before.

Of interest to SpaceX and Golden Astronaut fans, the red planes are copies of the Hawk.

Oddly enough, the label shows a different more elaborate Aircraft Carrier, #3162, with various SpaceX copies on deck.

It's this one, which has appeared on MC before on this 1970 catalogue page.

It's one I have myself in plain white.

The rear of the new label shows the rest of the Bullycan boat range.

Have you anything like this readers?

Kevin's Nuclear Freighter Traffic Light

Hi,

When going through my box of scrap Spacex toys all very battered, I found enough bits to put together a couple of Nuclear Freighters.

 I decided to swap parts over to create a complete yellow one and a green one. 

To complete the traffic lights, I included my red one from the 2005 and Beyond toys.

Cheers,

Kevin

Arto's "Strato Bank" at the Fleamarket

The best find was the metallic savings bank akin to the US Strato Bank. They made those money banks with Finnish bank logos printed on. I have a couple of them from before, but this one was the first with the red plastic ring around the planet still intact.

Hope you like it

Mystery Train Set

 

I see this plastic train set all over. Usually it's loose and in bits.

This one in a charity shop appears complete.

Anyone recognise it? 

Berwick, Yesteryear and the Mystery Oriental Archer

A recent ramble round the old Roman town of Castleford taught us a lot about Roman life in Northern England but there wasn't much in the charity shops.

I did see this jigsaw puzzle of a car I'm pretty sure I had as a Yesteryear as s kid. But what was it?

I also clocked this boxed draughts set by Berwick, who were a popular toy company when I was a kid. Did you have any Berwick toys? 

The box art screams the 1960's, a graphics style I love. Do you?

And I'm still trying to ID this action dolls dressed in oriental garb, complete with plastic long bow and quiver. He's about 12 inches tall, like an Action Man

 I've a female red ninja too. 

As per usual I should have bought all 8 or so figures the boot sale seller had but I just got the two. Returning to the same stall last week all the other figures had gone. Serves me right! 

There are no makers marks at all in the visible areas.

Any ideas who he is readers?
