I do scan the charity shops for any wargaming related content but with not much success , however the other day I was looking through a box of diecast model cars when I came across these two figures . They are a couple of (German ?) 54mm pilot figures in metal rather nicely painted (needed a bit of touching up) by a firm called 'Thomas Gunn' . They are obviously aimed at the collectors market and 'Thomas Gunn' figures seem to be quite expensive on eBay so I think I was lucky to pick these up for a modest sum and they will now join my collection of World War One Pilots .
What an excellent buy, well done you.
ReplyDeleteWas lucky , they needed a bit of work to smarten them up .
DeleteAlways fun to stumble upon a gem like these.
ReplyDeleteSadly I don't come across much useful stuff often .

DeleteSeize the chance!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I will be as lucky again .
DeleteHi- about 20 years ago I sculpted, cast and painted 54mm WW1 Pilots for my Brother- he scratch built 1/32nd Sopwith, SE5a and Fokers.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe - I wouldn't even attempt sculpting .
