About me:

I'M A BIG BOY NOW, but I still like to play with small toy cowboys. When I was about 5 years old, in the early seventies (1970 or 1971), I received for Christmas a western town. It was a US fort made of wood and printed paperboard by Comansi (Spain), plus two wood houses: a jail and a two-story hotel. I was given a lot of plastic cowboys with them, a stagecoach, and a covered wagon. I get some Rin-Tin-Tin crew too, made by Jecsan (Spain). I still remember the Christmas morning and the big surprise I had when I discovered those wonderful presents, some at my parents' place and some at my grandfather's place. I played a lot with them figures. I lost and broke some.
But many of them have survived through the decades. In 2003, I took them from the plastic bag they had slept for years and brought them to a second life. I started looking for other figures lost in the past and some knew. I like to restaure broken figures, feeling like I give them a new birth. There goes the story of my collecting hobby.

Who I'd like to meet:

..

ANYONE THAT THE OLD WEST INSPIRES. It can be people who collect Far West toy soldiers and everything that get along with, such as Western movies or Country Music fans.

Interests

  • General

    COLLECTING FAR WEST figures in the 1/32 or 70mm scale: cowboys, indians, Mexicans, US cavalry, American civil war troops, civilians, cows, dogs... Of course, I got plastic and wood buildings that fit with them: sheriff's office, bank, general store, barbershop... Everything that makes a 19th century Frontier town. http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vdmlld21vcmVwaWNzLm15c3BhY2UuY29tL2luZGV4LmNmbT9mdXNlYWN0aW9uPXVzZXIudmlld3BpY3R1cmUmZnJpZW5kaWQ9MTU1MDczMzk4">View my pics.
