Last year I acquired four Timpo West Point Cadet figures, made in the 1960s. I think they are rather nice castings. But I also know these toy soldiers are prone to break with plastic oxidisation, so I wasn't surprised to find mine had lost parts of their rifles. As four was never going to be enough it was always my intention to cast a reasonable number in pewter. Pleased to report that the mould was a success, and I have now raised a full battalion for my collection.

(Campaign news. These older cadets were surprised to find themselves ordered to go on immediate active service. Here is their encampment, just over the Canadian border.)
