Toy Soldier Collector Issue 88

THE June/July edition of Toy Soldier Collector arrived on Thursday with its usual mix of mouth-watering glossy photos of modern and old-style toy soldiers.

But one of the most interesting bits, to me, was an ad from W Britain listing UK stores that stock its products, including one near me I had not heard of, "Past Present Toys LONDON."
Unfortunately the shop does not have a website, and a Facebook page is particularly uninformative, but there are photos (http://n21online.com/business-directory/item/past-present-toys.html) that suggest the premises would be well worth a visit.
One of the more intriguing articles is about Paper Replika, a company that produces paper soldiers.
These are very much toy soldiers rather than smaller-scale paper model-soldiers for wargaming that can be found, for example, at http://www.juniorgeneral.org/
What especially interested me is that Paper Replika also has a small selection of paper buildings. I am not sure how useful these would be for me, but I should probably keep an eye on the website: http://paper-replika.com/
