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 allowed me to complete another five or six military units, serving in several collections.

WORKING ON SOME OTHER PROJECTS (OCT.2023)

Have recently acquired some very useful plastic storage boxes. This has allowed me to reorganise my toy soldier collection, and some associated scenic items.  I now think it's a good time to redecorate my games room, actually the dining room, as it really does need it. So the tables will have to be dismantled to ease access to the walls. And I will also use the occasion to give my book collection a much needed clean.

Will be having a few weeks break from posting on the blog so as to complete the above, and I also want some exclusive time to work on my research papers.

Rather pleased to report that my hobby projects have been greatly reduced, although there is still a box of figures needing some cast arms and heads to complete. It really is nice to see so little unpainted lead lying around.  

Hope to be posting again in November. Here are a few figures recently completed.

Some 1960s Timpo-made US Military Police

The Box that Keeps on Giving furnished two more WW2 Dutch infantry, and two more London Scottish infantry.
And a new flag for my 19th century Hanoverian infantry.
The Headless Box, full of figures needing Spare Parts
And the actual Spares Box, many of which are also nearly sorted!
