Interesting.
I didn't realize that they sculpted directly out of lead rather than green stuff back in the day. … And I'm pretty sure that I have some of those Russian Grenadiers. |

Most interesting, particularly they way sculpted figures by adding and shaping solder. Nice find T. |

Hand-soldering? How much did those miniatures cost? I guess they hadn't discovered ergonomics yet. That table will kill your back before your infantry units engage. |

Terrific!I have even more respect for the Old School now. Got Got to get one of those paisley vests! |

I am still not wearing a necktie, let alone a suit, to a wargame! (I would make an exception for a LARP or something like that.) |

Hand-soldering? How much did those miniatures cost? That's just for the master I assume. The figures are then cast as the video shows. Still, while I appreciate the artistry involved, I can see why green stuff and such epoxy putties took over. I'm not wearing any tie either. |

I kinda miss the more formal attire at games. In fact I've given thought to having a black tie game. After all, a gentleman should look like a gentleman. |

" particularly they way sculpted figures by adding and shaping solder." That wouldn't work for me, what with my skills at soldering… ;-) |

I used to game with Phil and Ian many, many moons ago in the Bournemouth/Poole area when you were limited to Minifigs, Hinchcliffe and Lamming figures………… |

How about underwear? |
