Thanks for sharing the list. It is always helpful to see what was available once. Sadly many are nearly unavailable today.
ReplyDeleteHi Harry,
ReplyDeleteas Markus said a dream for a nostalgic collector, but in Germany very hard to get. But I have a huge unit of Persian guards which I got from a friend years ago.
cheers
Uwe
Thanks Markus and Uwe. It is sad these excellent old figures have disappeared. I guess you know the story. The man who bought the compnay from David Clayton in the US got in touch with Vintage20Mil. He is a Canadian and said that he would have the company up and running again in three years. That was five years ago. Nothing has been heard of him since and emails about the progress of the project have gone unanswered.
ReplyDeleteYes I know the story...Very sad thing. I would really like to see these chaps back on the wargames tables.
ReplyDeleteI think we will all say "amen" to that, Markus. Unfortunately it seems unlikely. I believe most of the master figures were missing and the moulds burned out. However, as the revival of Garrison 20mm and Les Higgins 20mm shows - if the range gets an owner with sufficent dedication and enthusiasm then anything is possible. Hats off to Rob and John for that, and let's hope that one day the Hinton's fall into similar hands.
DeleteTrouble is, we're getting older. I'm 60 now, and will probably stop Garrison in 1 or 2 years.
