MINIATURE FIGURINES IN THE OLD DAYS
A short film showing how wargames figures designing used to be done, followed by a "How to Wargame" section with Ian Dickie
Interesing showing the sculpting technique which seems strange these days.
Incredible skills for that approach to figure making and amazing results. I can certainly see why the whole approach was changed with new technologies and materials. All that lead makes me gasp a little.

Great find! Thank you.
(PS-the verify window does not work well. It took me a dozen tries)
Fascinating glimpse into the past, so thank for sharing this:)
Great find although I totally disagree with the presenters claim that the South? instigated wargaming. Whats that about?
Debbie Thrower - suddenly I'm in love all over again!!! Graham Road in Southampton was a wonderful place.

Sculpting with a soldiering iron - simply astonishing! I tried to convert plastics with one. After I destroyed 10 figures, it worked.
But this is great!
Ah. When gentlemen wore a jacket and tie to appear on television. Fabulous clip.
1979 the year that fashion forgot!. Nice to see Minifigs being used on the table. They're darfed by modern figures of course.
