Lots of old vintage toy soldiers from when I was a kid in the 1960s are featured in this fantasy battle in eastern Kentucky. link How many different manufacturers depicted in this collection do you also own? |

I was an avid collector of plastic WWII "army guys" when I was younger. I had over 500 plus all kinds of equipment, tanks, guns, terrain, etc… One day when I was about 15 I decided to sell them at a garage sale--"KICK". One of my favorites that I didn't own, but was owned by a buddy of mine, was Fort Apache. I thought I recognized a few of the figures on the table. |

Yes, some of the cavalrymen and horses from Fort Apache indeed are on the table, not far from the redoubt. The cannon is from Fort Apache as well. I still have most of the fort and the Indians as well. |

The names are my kids, their spouses, my wife, and my grandsons… they all got a kick out of it! |

Those gun crew figs are intriguing. Could you post a close up? So many European companies made 7th cav./ACW figs., it is hard to tell. Maybe they are Starlux, or Crescent. The running guy in the Kepi makes me think Atlantic. The best thing I have found for cleaning old plastics is Simple green. Just let 'em soak for a few days. Pine Sol I have noticed will react with some hard plastics like Starlux, so be careful. |
