The Britains book lower right is reprint of Britains catalogs from 1937 to 1960. It covers the Lilliput line. On the stand is Britains chimpanzee party.

Various Britains buildings and Barzo’s playsets

Here we have Corgi circus set and Britains Hospital pieces.

Hope you don’t get eye strain from all the bins you have to go through.

Trojan Australians  getting harder and harder to find.

I don’t even remember this table as there was so much stuff to look at.

Hong Kong copies of Lido Cowboys.  The Lifeguards on the right are not Marx but Tibado from Italy. They have a round circle on the bottom.

Action Man figures from Modeler’s Loft

We have here Peter Bergner’s tables  the white figures are Linde animals

A tub of figures what fun time to go through them

This was the Milton Brothers’ stand. They put each figure up on the table. they only come to the show every few years.

Plastic Warrior  Show 2018 Part Four Brian Carrick’s Photos Brian’s Report

The show was very busy. Two years ago we struggled to fill all the tables and thought maybe the market was in serious decline. We thought this because so many of the stalwart collectors had passed away. This year the show was fully bookedand we had to turn some people down, I can’t account for this but also attendance through the door was up about 50%.  I took a table this year so didn’t manage to buy much stuff for myself. Though I find that’s always the way when I’m selling.  Both of the dealers either side of me sold their entire
inventory, I had just taken along all the stuff that hadn’t sold last time. I
had a table two year’s ago. sSo there wasn’t any good stuff, but I managed to shift more than half of it so at least it has cleared some space for me. I bought some very rare Malleable Mouldings figures, some Authenticast and some interesting French hollowcast. Otherwise it was mostly stuff for conversion and 54mm wargaming which is getting very big over here now.
