But : Le plaisir de partager une passion pour la Figurine et retrouver des modèles déjà anciens et qui n'ont pourtant rien perdus de leurs attraits .

De la Figurine civile, militaire ou encore fantastique .

Sans oublier les maquettes .

La majorité de ces figurines sont peintes au début avec les peintures pour maquettes Humbrol , plus tard avec les huiles Winsor & Newton . ( J'ai commencé en 1972/73 )

Why this ? The pleasure of sharing a passion for Figurines and finding some older models that ,nowadays, haven't lost a certain power of attraction .

Throuh civilian , military and fantasy , without forgeting vehicles modeling . The vast majority were painted at the begining with Humbrol and then with Winsor & Newton oils . ( I began in 1972/73 )

ABOUT DANIEL BORRIS

I’m a father and a grandfather and I very much love my family. Born in Scotland, my early life experience was tough, and just like back in the time of the highland clearances I immigrated to Canada where the streets are paved with gold.

I’ve been blessed with health, wealth and happiness, becoming a successful executive and consultant. I live a comfortable life in the Niagara Region. I have written two business books, “The Success Or Die Ultimatum” and “The Grow Or Die Ultimatum” both published by “Taylor Francis” the New York publishing house.
I specialize in identifying and optimizing under-performing assets and am still available.

I am a lifelong collector of model toy soldiers and works of art and literature.

Dimensions / Sizes

La mesure se fait de la plante des pieds , juqu'aux yeux .Le 54mm est la taille la plus standard qui prévaudra au lendemain de la seconde Guerre Mondiale .Pour les amateurs de " Jeux de Guerre " ( Wargame ) le 25mm est la référence .Au fil des ans apparaitront d'autres tailles permettant de renforcer les détails :75mm, 80mm, 90mm, 120mm etc ..Pour les amateurs de Wargame , nous trouverons aussi le 20mm et le 15mm qui permettentde constituer des armées importantes à moindre frais .

The size ( heigth ) of figures is usualy given in mm . Measured from the foot sole to the eyes level . 54mm is the size that will prevail at the end of WWII . For Wargamers, 25mm is the most asked .During the years we will see other sizes making their appearence, bigger and allowing more details : 75mm, 80mm, 90mm, 120mm etc...For wargames we will have 20mm, 15mm etc allowing to make large armies at a lower cost ..

Dear Tony Blair

Well, now I've caught your attention......this is a blog about gaming miniatures, both old and new school but with a leaning towards old school. I've been in the hobby since the 70s and seem to show no sign of stopping in the foreseeable future.....
