Collectors Gazette

This issue we focus on toy figures...

... and regular Gazette contributor, Mike Blake, certainly gives readers some useful hints and tips on how to  restore and convert models. We also feature a fantastic collection of W. Britain's toy soldiers in our 'collector and collection' section and offer readers the chance to win over £150 worth of figures in our W. Britain's competition. Having just had a recent spell of rather fine weather Andrew Ralston highlights some unusual plastic models in our 'Summer Sunshine' feature - just to get you in the holiday mood! Our Railway Round-Up brings news of the brand new Brighton Belle with Vintage Model Trains remembering Hornby Dublo. Diecast Update offers the latest news and a selection of new releases this month and our swapmeet reporters have travelled to Shropshire, London and Essex to bring you news from recent events. Look out for next month's special 'online' edition focusing on the Internet - buying and selling via online shops and at auction, and expert advice on how to set up your own website.
