Here he is, he's in the queue for a
re-paint and Brian reminisces;
I used to shop at the
Hinton Hunt store on Camden Passage, late 60's early 70's. A wonderful
eccentric place depending on whether the husband or wife was manning it.
From the
stock I would say production over several days or a week was one range only.
This meant that if you arrived just after new stock there would be a range of
hundreds of one subject. I remember this one figure had dozens of variations of
just the arms and weapons. I must have put this one aside when I ran out of
metallic paint.
To which I would add that Rose Miniatures
had some lovely Greeks too, around the same time, of which I have some small scale
versions somewhere.
Posed with Brian's Britains; you can see he fits right in and scaled to within a gnats-crochet
of his plastic brethren, although with a thinner base he's probably the
equivalent of 55mm! It would appear that Herald's
Trojan Warriors haven't taken kindly to his presence though?
Thanks Brian!
