Are you thinking of Minutemen Toy Soldiers? They are in Massachusetts. mmtoysoldiers.com |

Minutemen's cousin lives in NH. ;) |

Are those considered inexpensive? Doug |

I have to ask. The cheapest? That is daft…… Will you paint them? How long will you take to paint them? Do you care that badly moulded figures are harder to paint to any reasonable standard than the best quality….? Finally, what is your life worth in dollars, pounds, Euros etc per hour, vs the time you will take to paint them? Your biggest investment (for plastics anyway) will be your time, the paints, the basing. Do not ask questions like this and penny pinch. If you really are not bothered about quality of figures (perfectly reasonable…….why not?) play PC games. Have I misunderstood? I tend to do that. Are you asking where can I get the best deals on any range in plastics in this scale? If you are…bet you end up with Chinese copies as blobs of plastic. Support the makers. They are not making a mint Apologies if I have totally missed the point. This was indeed enigmatic…almost Bletchley Park level! |

Pretty judgmental, deadhead. For some, cost is a primary concern, while time is of little consequence. The OP also said nothing about not being bothered by quality or wanting badly molded figures, but you are willing to banish him to PC land because his vision of playing with toy soldiers may be different than your vision of playing with toy soldiers. Seriously? |

Guys, I have some of Bill's (Widowson's) figures in my collection – the man is a genius with 1/72, both painting and converting. So don't judge too quickly. It was an enigmatic post, so I will be interested when Bill returns to it |
| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 03 Jun 2016 5:17 a.m. PST |
But…was it…really…he? According to his profile,"he" hasn't made a post since--2013! (Cue eerie music!) |
| Marc at work | 06 Jun 2016 4:28 a.m. PST |
But then my last post is July 2015 according to the details just now. Spooky indeed  |

Sorry I've been away. And thanks, Marc, for the kind sentiments. All – I'm looking to pick up some figs, which I always have to do via internet. Specifically, Zvezda and HaT figs. Seems to me that someone once suggested a mail order place in NH that worked out well, but I can't recall the name of the place. Other suggestions welcomed, as well. |

Looks like Scale Hobbiest was it. Thanks Sevastopol. |
| Sevastopol | 06 Jun 2016 5:47 p.m. PST |
Glad to help. Have ordered quite a bit of stuff from them over the years. |
| Widowson | 07 Jun 2016 1:18 p.m. PST |
Well, damn. Scale Hobbiest has no Napoleonic Zvezda. Looks like it'll have to be Minutemen. |

returns to Flintloque to paint an Ogre.
