From the days when there was soooo Little in the way of figures and you had to convert

Paul – putting that money away would have made you rich, but I prefer your figure skills, so I am glad that you did the hobby a favour and spent your pocket money – as did so many of us grin

Sadly, I doubt many of the current generations will be following our lead, despite the wonderful selection of figures now available.

Lovely retrospective! I had a lot of similar Napoleonics all painted in gloss and unvarnished! I never went as far as converting though, that was a bit beyond me as a youth…

Some of us are still doing this. The thing about a converted unit is – there is no other like it on the planet.

Agreed Bill, but for ease of access I love the current ranges available. That is why it is so tragic that the youth of today have moved on – great choices, but no interest, unlike our youth.
