Very impressive collection there.Especially the complete Airfix 1.32 scale soldiers in original boxes.I managed to collect 14 out of 16 in total in the 70's. Nice to see them all together for the first time. GREAT!
I used to play with these in the '60's and '70's. I had them all, I think. The last set I had were the British Support Group, after that stopped buying them. Happy days!
Back when I was a kid (I'm 64), brothers and I would have war games with these types of figures. They were full figures and in a bag. Make "hills/forts" with blankets, stick our figures in the dips of the blanket and shoot rubber bands at each others figures.
I'm not married so I can play with mine whenever I want! Remember seeing stacks of these figures in the 70s at the local hobby shop, wish I had bought the hell out of them then. Have paid crazy amounts for modern British.
this video gave me an INCREDIBLE AMOUNT of ASMR tingles!! PLEASE MAKE MORE CRINKLY SOUNDING VIDEOS ABOUT 1/72 OR 28mm scale or any scale you have collections! just give us more tingles collections!! :)
Gran colección, yo solo cuento con una muy pequeña colección, la mayoría son de cuando era niño y otros que mi padre tenía de niño, muchos son copias mexicanas. Large collection, I only count on a very small collection, most of them as a child and my father had another child, many are Mexican copies.
I got some 1/32 way back in the 80s from Airfix and recently I bought a similar set of 1/32 from from Airfix. I am not sure if anybody notices those in the 80s were so much more detailed and features were so clear and sharp compare to the recent set.
Yes, all 1/32. Some vary slightly I must say but never veer towards 1/35. The Germans were one of the first sets in the 1960s and still a superb set even though they don't have full kit. The Airfix German Multipose 1/32 have a full kit and look great too. You have to assemble them though! These are also on my channel. Check out my Blogger "Commander of Plastic Men", the orange button on my channel.
+KRAZEEIZATION Re the scale: I've just had a box of WW2 Gurkhas 1:32 delivered and I am disapointed because they seem way off scale. i realise that the real life Gurkhas were/are smaller than the average European or american soldier but they weren't Munchkins. I think airfix messed up on this one as everything seems at least a third smaller than it should be. Great collection. Thanks for sharing!
The US Nato are pretty miserable too for scale and lack sharp detail, whilst the Modern Russians are excellent they look a bit undersize! Thanks for watching.
did you painted all those minis or did it come already painted, sorry for my ignorant question, im new to scale modeling and its starting to catch my interest
Hi I had most of them when I was a kid moved on to Tamiya 1/35th miniatures and AFV s now I'm doing young miniatures busts and large scale figures in 1/16th model soldiers have always interested me as well as the history behind them
When I was much, much younger I had my containers too. Then I "Grew up." Why do we have to grow up? So when do we see your video showing us your WW2, 1:32 scale tanks, and other vehicles???
I don’t have any vehicles and tanks unfortunately! We grow up because of social conditioning. When we’re young our parents look after us. We then get jobs, get married, start families or whatever, then we’re too busy working to pay the bills and before you know it you’re old and that’s it! You can make time for things and hobbies but you have to be ruthless and that may mean telling others to fuck off and leave us alone! It takes balls but a man is not a man unless he can look after himself and do the things he likes to do! Thanks for watching!!!
Great collection but missing the early Airfix boxs of Italian infantry,British infantry ,7th caverly,Indians,Cowboys and Medieval knights.Thats early italian box must be rare.I have never seen it.
I have lots of medieval foot soldiers but no box. Is there an earlier Italian infantry? The western series is hard to get for a good Price now unfortunately!
I wish you could continue making more airfix army men videos but it's probably never going to happen cuz you're probably done making those type of videos
Bizzarly it never occurred to me and I usually do narrate my videos. Most were bought on eBay between 2011 and 2015. The Airfix Hornby reissues were bought in a local store.
So, are you just a collector? Do you intend to repaint the less-well painted figs? Do you wargame? If so, with which rules? Have you tried Sharp Practice or Chain of Command?
I’m just a collector. I have used them to make animated war films which there are lots of in my channel. I’ve a blog called ‘Commanded Of Plastic Men’ too with lots of photos.
I had a giant box filled with toy soldiers, and just like that........gone! Mom's are like that! Sad part is wives carry on this horrible and vicious practice! I think it's in their DNA! My collection included Italian made Xyloplasto hand painted pirates! The Holy Grail of toy soldiers in my world of plastic toy soldiers! If I only knew then what I know now! Disgusted in New York! Andy, Annmarie's husband!

Thank you! Getting harder to find and more expensive as time goes by!
Wonderful collection the box art alone brings back great memories
I used to play with these in the '60's and '70's. I had them all, I think. The last set I had were the British Support Group, after that stopped buying them. Happy days!
Used to be my favourite scale. Massive collection and i gave them all away. Great collection there!
quite an extensive collection youve got there!
Super collection. Italian infantry very rare
this man must make a stop motion masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!
I have a large collection of the airfix soldier not painted. Sometimes I play with them when my wife is out =)

My wife wouldn’t understand either. Prefer not to give her even more ammunition to lecture me.
Why not! Keep up the spirit!
Would You sell it?

Hmmmmm… Okay…!
Always loved the artwork on the old airfix kits, sherwood Castle set was my all time favourite,
A blast from the past
I had many of those.
Oh man. Great collection! I am envious.
Wow what a fantastic collection - thank you for posting - enjoyed 😎😎😎
I laughed when I saw the ice cream box
Gran colección, yo solo cuento con una muy pequeña colección, la mayoría son de cuando era niño y otros que mi padre tenía de niño, muchos son copias mexicanas.
Large collection, I only count on a very small collection, most of them as a child and my father had another child, many are Mexican copies.
impressive collection!
Amazing.
Nice collection you got there
Better than any pokemon card.
Some should 3d scan the airfix “modern” line of soldiers because i want them but they’re expensive
wow nice.
I have & paint soldiers I would love to have the imagination to play with them like as a kid !!!! X
I'm more amazed by the art on the box. Who was the artist?
I decided to get a japanese infantry set after watching this
I got some 1/32 way back in the 80s from Airfix and recently I bought a similar set of 1/32 from from Airfix. I am not sure if anybody notices those in the 80s were so much more detailed and features were so clear and sharp compare to the recent set.
And the new hard plastic is awful!
Amazing I want some
You can get them online in Ebay or Hobbylinc
wow!
Are the British infantry the same height as the German infantry? I'm talking about air fix 1:32 scale
of course they are there 1:32 scale
Super bien les soldats airfrix
Quite a collection you have there.
Thank you!
Aspiring to be this chap

+Arthur Radley I have ww2 airfix gurkhas they are fine. or I think you might have a different model company gurkhas
No sir,only Airfix Gurkhas!
did you painted all those minis or did it come already painted, sorry for my ignorant question, im new to scale modeling and its starting to catch my interest
+GhostBoyHenry Most figures you buy have to be painted. Some you assemble and paint.
Wish I could get my hands on this collection
Lawsy 25HD Yeah i would hock it and buy me some nice weapons.
I dont get it, whats the use in all of this stored away? Why not gloriously displayed somewhere? I find this strange.
Che spettacolo
LEGAL MUITO BOM ;
Hi I had most of them when I was a kid moved on to Tamiya 1/35th miniatures and AFV s now I'm doing young miniatures busts and large scale figures in 1/16th model soldiers have always interested me as well as the history behind them
It’s an interesting hobby as it’s a historical lesson. Some people make amazing dioramas!
😍
you have the original boxes of airfix ww2 figures
What a Ice cream Box
That's it? More like that's incredible!!!! I'm Andy not Annmarie!
So what other interesting things do you collect besides toy soldiers and blank cassettes?
RJC 72 The one thing he doesnt do is communicate.😂

I am interested in that first box - Waterloo soldiers. Are you planning to sell them?
Hi
They’re not for sale unfortunately!
Danny Joseph where do you go to toys😊
..
da hast du ja richtig paar Raritäten dabe - aus der guten alten Zeit
viele der Posen kenne ich auch aus dem 1/72 Bereich
Where did you get the WW2 Australian infantry.
eBay!
When I was away in the navy my mom threw away all my army men .
Oh no! She probably thought “he’s a real soldier now and he won’t need these”!!!
compra la scatola della Folgore made Wateloo.
E molto bella e completa il tuo set.
Those are my dream toy soldiers
Cool I have like under 10 of those sets
MUY INTERESANTE LAS COLECCIONES EN MINIATURA,
CÓMO PUEDO CONSEGUIRLAS SOBRE TODO LAS DEL 7° DE CABALLERÍA.
VIVO EN TRUJILLO PERÚ
Sir please tell me from where do you collect this
Mainly eBay!
How do you get a lot of airfix?
He mostly got them from online in Ebay and he saved much money to get them
Were did u get those
Mainly eBay.
Wow that a lot of toy soldiers how much all they even cuz I'm not trying to buy them just asking but those must be expensive
Yes indeed!
do u still have them how much you sell them for
April Walker I do indeed. There’s none for sale at the moment. Regards,
Most of mine Airfix are painted, i am missing the British army,German alpine troops and the very rare Italian infantry.
The Italians have New on the box like the British. There’s a website showing the lot but he seems to have stopped in 2012.
I wish you could continue making more airfix army men videos but it's probably never going to happen cuz you're probably done making those type of videos
Ha! I did a lot of them. And a lot of animation. Very time consuming! Regards A
i want that
I’m thinking of doing modelling our the soldier’s good for beginners
Yes
Shame you didn’t add an audio or typed commentary. Where did you get these figs? What are you gonna do with them? So many questions. No answers.

Cool, will have to take a look. Think I may have watched some of your films a few months back :-)
I hope you enjoy them!
Wow I
I laughed at the "modern" stuff from like the 70's
*80’s also I thought it was funny to
Halo are sell model ?

Andy, Annmarie's husband!
What a cool observation on mothers! The war was over and the mothers took no prisoners. Every last toy soldier was executed.
I mean are u sell them?
Sorry, no I don't sell them!
Oh I want too 😭
Someday I might sell the whole lot...
Any for sale?
Unfortunately I don’t. eBay is the best bet!
Thats just one box
