With twenty-five soldiers of lead he has conquered the world

I found this little battalion of lead army vehicles — with one little soldier crouching behind some kind of shield — hiding in the pocket of an old jacket I bought on eBay. So tiny and fascinating! It’s heard to get a sense of the scale, but the larger tanks are no bigger than my thumbnail. I love little surprises like this, little bits of treasure that appear when and where you least expect it.
