Tankette Tuesday

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 ... View all posts by 26soldiersoftin

Hi Mark…. A great little tankette, super vehicles. Reminds me of finding a model shop in Paignton well over 50 years ago while on holiday that had some little plastic tanks from Hong Kong or some such place. I bought the whole lot, about 20, and equipped my Matchbox army of the time. Your tanks have a strangely appealing quality about them, I like them a lot. Regards Tony

I’m not sure if that model shop is still there? However it might be, as there is still a great little Model and Railway shop at Paignton near the station. If ever I am travelling through Paignton for work (I live and work in the Southwest) I try to drop in and buy a few bits if I can or have time!
