Excellent way of mounting, storing and transporting figures, been doing it for years albeit with rectangular multi-figure bases. Also works for single figure bases, using a post-1992 copper-plated steel coin-shaped disc 🤫

This one as well - the last loss in 1981 - at the opposite end of the country rnli.org/about-us/our... A few years ago I was privileged to help design their new station, now at Newlyn. Thankfully the boats are so much safer these days, particularly the Shannon class. #RNLI

Yep, had pretty much all of those at some point. Started with Featherstone (local) and a delightful little red book called "Discovering Wargames", I think by John Tunstall?

You're right Neil, though the problems seem to arise once you start expanding your group of friends. I have resisted adding anyone and just use it for 2 or 3 groups.

There's a great set of explanatory videos available on YouTube, put up about a year ago by some wargaming guy. He had a beard IIRC 🤔

Nice! Is all the allotment planting made from scratch or commercial stuff? I want to do something similar for some house back gardens I've got.

Not used them myself, but Green Stuff World sell fluorescent paints in a range of colours. Hope that helps.
