My first experience with Napoleonic gaming was in the 80s with a friend's massive collection of Minifigs. In my mind, that collection is still the benchmark for my own work. I've been thinking of Minifigs for a few months now, so I might take a dip into the catalogue (though the idea of them keeping the VAT for offshore purchases is repellent to my sensibilities). Thanks for the great post.

Great to hear that it has been a family thing and that you got to keep the collection. Too often those things pass out of the family after the original gamer passes on.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-35001710443196536682018-01-13T14:49:50.578-06:002018-01-13T14:49:50.578-06:00This takes me back - quite the collection of vinta...This takes me back - quite the collection of vintage lead there, Pete, well done!Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-49889165640278989672018-01-13T13:31:37.746-06:002018-01-13T13:31:37.746-06:00I solder a heap of these to a guy at the club I se...I solder a heap of these to a guy at the club I see if he still has them I might be able to get them and if so I'll send them to you.
