My goodness! That is evocative. Hinton Hunt was the first manufacturer that I bought metal figures from marvelling how expensive they were compared with the Airfix figures I had bought up until then. The packages always seemed to arrived on a rainy Friday morning just before I went to school but I was not allowed to open them just then. The return home in a lather of expectation was always an excellent start to the weekend.

I remember Hinton Hunt. The local stamp shop in St. Albans sold a few figures every now and then. My first wargaming purchase that wasn't from Airfix.

Posh and rich kids went into Mayfair to Under Two Flags, for Tadition figures. There was a shop around the corner from South Kensington Tube station, Exhibition Row that sold Minifigs etc and then came Beatties on Wigmore St, that sold Hinchliffe. Boring meeting at Royal Soc of Medicine, I could pop out and stock up. EEEEH, those were the days. You could peek into the boxes before buying. Kids these days…poor devils. We had it all….none of this internet nonsense.

I still have all of my old Hinton Hunt painting guides, along with my Jack Scruby guides! All just nostalgia for me now with so many great references available. Terry

I remember buying HH figures to add variety to my Airfix Napoleonics from his shop in Camden Passage Market at Angel. Opening hours could be erratic.
