Gaming From Yesteryear .


A couple of photos of the late great actor Peter Cushing shamelessly pinched from Facebook .


He was a collector and gamer of 54mm figures and seems to have used 'Little Wars' to fight his battles.

  1. Some of Cushing's hand painted flags sold on E Bay before Christmas. He was a very very good painter and clearly knew his stuff. His acting was pretty good as well.

  3. Tony- Thanks for these photos of Peter Cushing with his 54mm...I've known about the Actors interest and enthusiasm for Toy Soldiers in my previous net surfing...a very interesting chap is Peter Cushing. I also recently lost an 80 year old mate who was also a great collector and modeler in 54mm- I made a lot of Toy Soldier molds for him... I miss my mate Gordon Brown. Regards. KEV. (Australia).

    1. Sorry to hear that , 54mm has it's own attraction for gaming with.
