The previous Slack Collection before i sold 90% of it..

As Flickr have upgraded everyone to ooodles of space I managed to track down the originals of my previous collection... including some photos of a table top diorama scene with an ambush on a few unsuspecting Germans... all pre-cabinets... have a peep and enjoy... brought back some memories... thankfully I've manged to replace most of it again... but I do miss the occasional faded German and British uniforms... can't beat a bit of vintage patina!!

Slack, you're breaking my heart! it must've hurt to let those pieces go! I understand you have your reasons but it still makes me cry.

But I am a fan of "vintage patina" as well.

My first G.I. Joe Christmas, 1965.

cheers Dal... there were some great figures in there...

I sold it to get rid of the Ex-wife...she would have made you cry even more...

Some great pieces Grand Master Slacksparov. Some interesting bashes in there too ie the commando with the black jumper underneath , very effective look it gives the set.

Love the Jap though & pleased to know that you have one now still. Whilst it is nice to glance back , I know all too well myself how upsetting it is also with pieces that are no more. Pleased you've recovered , Happy Vamming my friend.

I too know the pain of having to sell a whole collection and starting from scratch again

Thankfully my sone saved my childhood Tommy and i still have him to this day

My little boy was only 7 when he saved my man noes hes my big man and 20 years old

How time flies and how precious memories become


Slack you have some great fellas in there and you havbe a great 2nd collection

Thanks for sharing

those blue and black jumpers are great under a lot of uniforms, blue under a sailors jacket looks good too... very 'North Atlantic convoy' or German Kreigsmarine.....same as putting a great coat over a uniform....
