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.

Fascinating glimpse into the past, so thank for sharing this:)
ReplyDeleteGreat find although I totally disagree with the presenters claim that the South? instigated wargaming. Whats that about?
ReplyDeleteDebbie Thrower - suddenly I'm in love all over again!!! Graham Road in Southampton was a wonderful place.

ReplyDeleteSculpting with a soldiering iron - simply astonishing! I tried to convert plastics with one. After I destroyed 10 figures, it worked.
ReplyDeleteBut this is great!
Ah. When gentlemen wore a jacket and tie to appear on television. Fabulous clip.
ReplyDelete1979 the year that fashion forgot!. Nice to see Minifigs being used on the table. They're darfed by modern figures of course.
