The first Britains Lot for Februari 2012 came in.. :-P

This time I will show my Britains in an absolutly original way!

This week, after a great trade with Taylor, I received some more Britains.

There were some for me, some others for me and none for Torben!
Here is my stuff:


1359 Britains Deetail sable antelope


1345 Britains Deetail walking tiger


1347 Britains Vintage leopard


1357 Britains Detail zebra dark


1368 Britains Vintage springbuck


1369 Britains Vintage wolf


All the lot in which the 1394 Britains Zookeeper with broom came included!


I love Britains! Thanks Taylor!

Those are great, congratulations. I really like that sable antelope. I must remember I don't collect Britains.

Congrats Roger! I really like the Sable Antelope,too. :)

They are beauuutyful, Roger

Britains made some fabulous models in the good, old days

Ohhh, that wolf is lovely

CONGRATULATIONS , Crogebert !!!

You may become one of our great Britains-collectors yet

Congratulation Willy a great batch

Sorry Rogério, it must be the pics...

Nevertheless, it is still a great batch, and like the others I looove the sable antelope

oh, they're absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
congrats!

Congratulations my friend!!! With some of my favourite Britains models ever, the springbuck and the sable antelope!!!

Congrats Roger

Congratulations Roger, these are wonderful!! Your Britains collection in growing

Congrats Willy?! Rogerio of course! not only the pics but the tittle of topic looks like typical for our Bacoboy
Many congratulations Roger for beautiful animals, especially lovely springbok, and for very clever joke Again I couldn't stop laughing, thank You!
BTW I have a feeling like Your zookeeper wants to say to all animals: "Go away from me, I'm very busy!"

Me too! Sable is best!

Congratulations,Roger! I'm not so much into vintage stuff but this Sable Antelope is really an excellent model.

Oh, my, the days of "Relative scale"...

Thanks to all of you for your friendly and funny comments! I don't need a pole to see that the sable is the king of this batch!
Talking about Kings, if Willy see this topic will congratulate himself?

Now I need your help, I collect Britains and foxes and there's no Britains fox, I guess!
So I try to find in other brands in compatible scales some figures to join with Britains! Although I already own more than 30 foxes none of them is small enough to fit my Britains. Any suggestion?
Susanne sent me that Reisler red fox as a gift, it is really small but see how it looks next to Britains wolf!
The wolf looks a little small for the man but the fox is surely large!

Britains wolf and Reisler red fox

I don't know any smaller foxes unfortunately. But indeed this wolf is rather small, for me this size would fit to coyote

Yes Ana! You are right! According with my measurements it fits perfectly in size for a coyot! :)
Now I also need another wolf!

Your wolf/coyotes tail is down like in the size comparison picture (silhouette). Is the one you have supposed to be a wolf?
Of pictures I've seen of the Britains foxes (lead ones) it looks kindof big too. Maybe Willy has one on his site to compare to?

Congratulations on your figures. They are all very nice!

HAUSSER ELASTOLIN is THE solution Rogério

I always like both versions of the leopard(orange/black spotted and melanistic).

Otherwise you must ask one of our artists to make a tiny, little fox for you

Thanks Sue, I think these lead foxes are from hunting sets or so. I also need them as I need all foxes.
The one next to the zookeeper with tail down is a wolf and I can confirm it in catalogue pictures. I checked Willy's site in Collectors Quest and I haven't found a fox with smaller size.
In the silhouette picture the coyot is with tail down because coyots walk an run with the tail in a very low position in opposition to wolves and mainly foxes! :)

Thanks Christophe, they look really small once the human figure is a 1:40 scale!

I don't like them always but I hope to find the Britains black leopard!

Yes, but Christophe solution looks good. I think in this scale smaller than a fox would be very hard to sculpt. Anyway Britains made a platypus!

HAUSSER ELASTOLIN 1/32 fits very nicely with BRITAINS
