I have been chatting by email to MGB recently about repairing old toy soldiers and received an interesting parcel of plastic figure bits and bobs for future conversion work. Thanks MGB!
MGB mentioned that he was starting a new blog about his 54mm repairs and gaming.
It’s well worth a look https://wargamingwith54mmtoysoldiers.blogspot.com/
Some very fine colourful medievals in his latest September post.
WW2, Medievals, Colonial era – lots of interesting things so far and some fine repairs and repaints.

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 ...

I thought people would like his colourful Medievals and others, especially in 54mm which is increasingly a rarity of a scale. I have mentioned to MGB the Little Wars Revisited 54mm figures/ gamers forum as well.

Mark, just a quick thank you for the generous plug for my 54mm blog, I was just pleased the surplus weaponry and spares might prove useful. Regards,
Michael

Always a joy, Michael, to discover a new shiny toy soldier blog! Thanks very much – I will post up pics on the blog as and when I use the spares.
