SPECIAL THANKS. I would like to thank Paul Watson for his sponsorship of several lead figure collections on this blog. Having decided to clear his spare/surplus figures, he generously forwarded them on with no other requirement than they deserved to be restored. I would also like to mention George S. Mills, who kindly furnished a quantity of plastic figures which greatly enhanced several collections.
Additional Thanks. To Tim of the MegablitzandMore blog for supplying some interesting figures towards my WW2 Soviet Army, and to Mark of ManOfTin Blog for a horde of Airfix WW2 figures.

THE ROYAL MARINES ARRIVE

Having only four marines in my collection, decided it was time to recruit a full battalion. Repairing old and broken W.Britains toy soldiers, these fellows are now ready to join the Royal Navy Landing Party.

      Thanks Mark, restoring these broken soldiers is a hobby in itself, so gaming with them is a bonus.

    Lobsters and Tars, can't do without them, esp when they are so bright and shiny!

      Yes indeed Ross. I somewhat fear the next step is to have a gunboat.
