A good read

This yearbook arrived today in the Duchy-
A must for all who love old toy soldiers!
Of late I have been even more smitten by Schneider semi round homecasts-


Come even better weather I will get the 54mms ( Army Red White v Army White) out of their winter quarters in the shed for al fresco FLW...

  1. Tradgardmastare, do you have any Schneider molds and cast your own or is your growing collection more fueled by bidding for castings on eBay ?

  2. I sadly don't have molds and buy old ones off ebay.I am keen to try and cast some new ones as the old ones are often not available/over priced.
    I have bid on German ebay but Spenkuch goes for funny money as do others...

  3. Yes, the cost of the molds can get crazy. I've paid more than I care to admit to Berliner Zinnfiguren over the years. They have a monopoly on Spenkuch and charge like it, their molds are costly as well.
