Peter Cushing wargamer (three more photos)


Found these photos on Facebook of Peter Cushing's figure collection which I haven't seen before , here he's dusting a Britains Howitzer .


Peering at the figures in the cases he seems to have collected Britains farm animals and machinery as well as toy soldiers . I wonder if the trees in the bottom case are the old 'Merit'ones ? . There's a Naval gun and Hussars on the top of the cases as well - an impressive collection . (my father used to wear a cardigan like that - but without the collar and tie).


Think I've seen this one before (from the Peter Cushing Appreciation society)but a classic period photo of the great man .

PS found another one , again from The Peter Cushing Appreciation Society .

  3. Back in the day when casual attire was replacing your tweed jacket and brogues with a cardigan and slippers!

  6. Tony, I collect toy soldiers, and DVDs of British pre-1980 Horror-films. Only a few days ago I watched Peter Cushing in Night of the Big Heat. Great photos.

  8. Don't forget the cravat, as seen in the last photo. That's when you know that a gentleman is really letting his hair down :-)

    Regards, Chris.
