For various reasons, including the new production of plastic Airfix figures, my going back to college (at 56), and lack of spare time while researching and writing a thesis, I have put Old Hall Miniatures onto a back burner for a couple of years.
I still deal with a few established regulars, but am not producing anything new at the moment. Time will tell if I get back up and running again.
March 16th 2016. I've just come across your mention of my small efforts to reproduce the old Airfix figures. Unfortunately, by the time I finished college back in 2005/6 and wanted to get back in action the moulds had deteriorated so as to be unusable, and retirement meant that I no longer had the werewithall to replace them. Added to that the changes in Airfix ownership I wasn't sure if the current manufacturers would be happy with my continuing, so I never got round to it. I still have the original letter from Humbrol giving permission, so suppose I could start again if I felt like it, but that's unlikely.
ReplyDeleteI see some of the sets are going on e-bay for large prices! Ah well.
