Some photos of my painting corner with added pictures, an enjoyable podcast being listened to as I paint and two photos of a toy soldier mystery I bought in a job lot recently. It has wires connecting the horsemen and lugs to keep them together. I have never seen such a thing before, can anyone identify it?
By the look of the artillerry head dress and the joining together this looks like part of a gun team - any makers name or marks?
ReplyDeleteOccasionally figures are joined together if they were part of an animated fixed display in shop windows etc.
I will check for markings...
DeleteRoyal Horse artillery chaps to rebuild (a lot)
ReplyDeleteH P Lovecraft is always a good read (or listen in your case) just so long as you don't start believing his less than savoury thoughts about race!
Very true re HPL. Lots of work to do. I must look for photos of the original.
DeleteThey do look like RHA.
ReplyDeleteI like the retro looking radio.
RHA indeed. The retro style radio was a Christmas gift some years ago and is very handy in the kitchen.
DeleteYes RHA I would say - a good find , you don't seem to come across them much .
ReplyDeleteI was taken with them and I may just display them, we shall see...
DeleteYup. Royal Horse Artillery. Britains always wired their limber teams together. I don't know if others did but I suspect so.
ReplyDeleteThe scale was something I wasn’t expecting.
DeleteTradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteThey look like RHA ... who are based about a mile from my house. The driver sits on the left-hand horse of the pair, and carries his whip in the right hand. The teams have three pairs of matched horses.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob. Exciting neighbours to have.
