Title: Type case
Post by: Bas on February 21, 2014, 15:28:16

1 Week ago I bought a type case by Leenbakker (furniture store in Ne/Be).

(http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/Suptopfirst/setzkasten_zps8e5b4765.jpg)

I wasnt planning anything particular, but when I came home I realised that the width of section is exactly as high as a Clicky on a horse would be.

So I turned the case from vertical to horizontal and put some Soldiers in it. (Oh and you be sure I like those 2000's pirate theme)

I can say: those dimensions of the type case are what I had been looking for for YEARS!

With that I also received 2 e-bay offers in that week...... perfectly to extent the job!

Doesn't look too special, except 1 clicky...........

(http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/Suptopfirst/IMG_20140221_045912_zps2aa78d0b.jpg)

I have no clue from what theme he comes from or the fact he even is an Original design.
Torso could be Victorian/Circus theme, but doesnt look PRE-2000' to me.
I think this is my most favourite/special clicky I own now   :lol:

With that being said, all that is left is showing you the end result.

Photo's are not that sharp as I wanted it to be I realise by now.

Great looking shelves and display. You have room on your wall for at least 5 more too.  ;D  I agree that the new officer is particularly good looking as well.

And then there was an update..... :o
I found a new brache of the 'Leenbakker' store, just 15km from my home.

(http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/Suptopfirst/Update2_zps7e093f34.jpg)

I think I will place one of them above/under the first one. I've just won some more soldiers on ebay whiles typing this. :)
The 2nd will be used to show some of my 90's farmingtheme collection.

I have no clue from what theme he comes from or the fact he even is an Original design.

That figure is an exclusive pirate that came free with child-menus at the German fish-restaurants "Nordsee" about 7 years ago. As original he comes equipped with a wine-red bicorne (hat), and standard black hairpiece and beard.

There were also 2 other figures that came with these menus;
Another pirate with a (recycled) red torso and a pair of darkyellow-almost-orange kneetrousers, and a Spanish soldier very similar to those from the 2007 Pirates Theme, but instead of the Morion-helmet the soldier came with the old helmet from the Nuremberg Guards (in standard metallic colour though, not the old silverish colour from the 70s/80s).
Each of the 3 figures came with a small treasure-chest, coins and a little paper boardgame.

What a wonderful find and how clever of you to see its potential!  Love the groupings of your collection.  Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Sorry for the late post, wasn't much on the internet too lately.

@Birdie: That deer I had is from set 3006. --> Had great landscape parts, better than all the waste base plates as seen in super sets.

@Hadoque: Ty for info's seen some pictures on google from the original now.


I received an other 2 ebayshipments last week:
