Sadly I can't remember any of those armors and helmets being fully shiny. We didnt have the space to have it all build up all the time, it had to be stored away very often, so that does cause it to scratch against other parts.
And here are the spare parts from which I couldnt figure out what sets it might have been.
Lots of clicky holders which probably where part of some sets, but I am not really worried where they belonged.
It did make me a bit sad to put all this together.. Seeing how great it must have been when everything was still complete and not broken.
Worst part was finding out several things where broken that where not yet broken last time I saw it, I gues my nephews where too rough with it last time they played with it. That caravan was still intact, as was the seat in front of it.
There used to be a red stagecoach, but sadly my sister broke it by accident. And many things where appearantly already broken or missing before I was born since I dont recall there ever being a market stand or cannon balls with the pirate ship, and plenty of other stuff such as chairs. I do remember the sails of the pirate ship being there, but not functional anymore.
In an attempt to recapture some old glory, I customized a pirate crew again and really filled up the ship like I used to do during my childhood.
Here they are, ready to challenge any upstart fancy looking new pirates and soldiers!
Believe it or not, but I used to call the pirate in blue Jack. He was my favorite pirate, the slightly faded mouth gave him a bit more character, and made him easy to recognize.
