A hobby friend posted this Bill Lamming interview on one of the Facebook groups which got me looking my copy up. Hopefully high enough quality to read/ download. Battle Magazine was/is a great read and a fantastic resource to jump back into. I just picked up a wonderful pile of Wargamer's Newsletter along with another copy of Table Top Talk July 1966 and a very earlier copy of Wargames Terrain by Donald Sutherland.
I still have numerous Lamming figures... some of my earliest metal figures. I painted up some Romans and Vikings, half painted some later Landsknechts and got addicted to their separate heads and weapons. Don't forget that Lamming Miniatures are now back! Tell them I sent you...
Wargames Terrain... a rather threadbare copy but one I will cherish.
From Wargamer's Newsletter January 1968...
Neville Dickinson, Wargamer of the month!
Possibly the earliest Minifigs advert?
A letter from Neville...
Notts Wargame Association 1974 National Convention...
Some slightly later adverts from WN...
Dave Ryan at Caliver Books is slowly re-releasing all the Minifigs back catalogue. Top job that man.
Lots of the old Der Kriegspielers minis are available now from Michael Thomas over at Classic Miniatures; https://classicminiatures.net/
A lovely gem of a pic, Frank Hinchliffe, Peter Beaton, Peter Gilder and Tony Sovill...
I spent a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon and early evening reading through the latest cache of publications. Hopefully I'll get more scanned at some point.
