A blast from the past...

I last played with 1/32nd scale figures when I was about 10-years old.  My mate and I used to dig trenches in my back garden and put the soldiers in the trenches - they had to be in "realistic" positions, like shooting over the edge and so on.  We would then stand behind our own trench and throw hard lumps of soil at the other's trench to know over the soldiers.  Naturally, there was losses.

For years after, every now and then, my mum used to find a soldier or two when she did the gardening.  As far as I remember, the last time she found anything was just before I left the UK - just over twenty years ago.

Today, she posted this on Facebook and tagged me:

From the photo, it looks to be in pretty good nick for something that has been buried for over 40-years!

I've asked her to post it over.  If it is as good as it looks, I'm really temped to paint it up.
