About Me
- Robert (Bob) Cordery
- I have been wargaming for as long as I can remember. One of the first toys that I was bought was a wooden fort that was garrisoned by assorted lead soldiers ... and I have never looked back! The first wargames book I bought was CHARGE! (although I had taken out [and repeatedly read] Donald Featherstone's WAR GAMES book beforehand [and many thanks to John Curry for republishing it!]). My first 20mm figures were the good old Airfix Guards Infantry and Band (in shocking pink!), soon followed by others as they were released, and by 1968, when I bought my first metal Hinton Hunt 20mm figures, I had a large collection of World War II figures, tanks, guns, and aircraft. I was a founder member of WARGAME DEVELOPMENTS and have been the treasurer and membership secretary ever since. I have also organised – along with Tim Gow - the annual conference (COW – Conference of Wargamers) for more that fifteen years. My main interests are wargaming any wars from 1850 onwards, although I have a special interest in Colonial, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II wargaming. I also have a special interest in wargames that use square or hex grids for movement and weapon ranges.
Is that a Hinton Hunt Blucher? Stryker has just posted his on Vintage Hinton Hunt Wargames Figures and I am in the middle of painting mine - typical, you don't see one for years then three of them turn up together...
ReplyDeleteOld Metal Detector,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure as the figure was part of the set of BATTLE OF WATERLOO figures sold by Del Prado a few years back.
The figures they supplied were a mixture of sizes and poses, and were obvioulsy from several different ranges.
Some of them may well have been cast from Hinton Hunt moulds.
All the best,
Bob
