Indebted

 I am indebted to a reader of this blog who kindly brought the magazines from which the below articles come from. He brought them for me to photograph at Claymore. Thank you. I post them here so you all can enjoy.

    Hi Alan,

    Splendid sharing! It’s always marvellous to see classic wargaming material preserved and shared like this—hats off to the reader who brought them along to Claymore for you to photograph.

    All the best, Andy

    Didn't a manufacturer at the time receive a cease and desist from Airfix for producing conversions like this in metal? Maybe the very early days of Minifigs.

    I still have those issues - I remember the article on converting figures to Han Chinese, all the talk of the mysterious banana oil and using drawing pin shields...
