At last a vocation. All those broken Britain’s figures under repair - I’m turning into A Poor Toy Soldiers Home! Excellent find Tony - thanks for sharing. I often wonder what battles my bashed and broken figures collected for repair have had in the past week in their old days. And an element of truth before you could afford to buy every figure period ever , In the old days when your few figures stood in for everything, green are the good guys, grey and all else the enemy, one figure could fight Gettysburg, Marathon and Monterey all on the same day or at least the same weekend.
Huzzah! Go on and do so, Tony. Restore their battered dignity ... and give them a new lease of gaming life. I’m not damaging my supply options - there are more than enough battered figures on EBay for everyone. If you do, I look forward to seeing them feature on your blog.
Tony I have put a link to your website, to the poem and found a few things out about it. https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/24/a-poor-old-toy-soldiers-home/

Have noticed lots of broken figures on Ebay and having seen your good work on repairing them I'm tempted to have a go myself .
