Some old or new arrivals have arrived from the bottom of the wider family toybox – Herald, Britain’s Deetail and Pound Store.

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 ...

Reunited with old friends indeed. Are you going to convert/paint them or are you leaving them as they are? Last year l really enjoyed converting/ painting similar Herald cavaly figures. I look forward to seeing what decide to do or not with these.

I feel that the Herald figures may stay as they are, with a tuppenny base inscribed with their origins and join my others. The cowboy at least deserves painting.
