Just a few figures hiding in The Bunker wargames holiday centre http://www.thebunkergames.com

I've really enjoyed your previous posts.  On your website I was drawn to the hot air balloon.  Please tell me about the it:  How is it made and/or who is it from?  Thanks.  Richard

We had to give in on the shelves in shelves though as it wasn't easy to access and still fairly dusty.  We moved to all boxes for most of our collections.  It doesn't photograph worth a damn though. :)

I'm not sure why but I never thought to hang the planes from the ceiling by the tails.  Great looking collection.

Lots of toys, and highly recommended for significant birthday celebrations.

We sneaked Glynis in there for her 50th, Alasdair lives in hope that he'll get his 18th or 21st (or both) in there.

Gary, Glynis, and Alasdair (there are three of us, but we are too mean to have more than one login)

The balloon is made by Faller- it goes together like a Terrys Chocolate Orange

Hope you do come back for another visit Gary- t'was a great weekend

And as for Minis, well we have the Clubman & Cooper styles, pick-up & van versions & ones in Police,AA,GPO liveries etc. Ok I am been flippant but in my many years of gaming with 1000s of toys I have never used the term minis for toy soldiers, only cars & skirts....
