Big Picture : Toy Soldier Moulds

Today's Big Picture is of some rubber moulds for casting toy soldiers which are on display at the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.

I find these fascinating because they represent a level of technical sophistication that is worlds away from the simple metal moulds (featured in this post) that many kids of an older generation may have used at home to cast figures.

  1. Cool stuff, takes me back to the days of casting my own figures with Prince August.

Thank you for leaving a comment. I always try to reply as soon as I can, so why not pop back later and continue the conversation. In the meantime, keep rolling high!
