It’s snowing again where I live in the Southwest.

Earlier this month I didn’t get around to photographing these Lemax resin mountaineer figures (set #62433) in the snow for my snow blog post https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/02/snow-and-ski-troops/

Lemax resin figures are sold for European or American Christmas villages and railways.

They are slightly larger than Airfix 1:32 and usually quite garishly prepainted.

They need a spot of repainting. Add a rifle each, then they would have a proper Mountain Man look.

Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures. I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures. Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules. To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...
