Splendid.

My first metal figures were Minifigs and Hinchliffe Napoleonics circa 1978. Happy days!

A great job by your dad! Neat painting, clear lines, shading, faces, and all!
And most of all this previously said by flags_of_war: They can still stand the test of time! Great!

I LOVE seeing the old Hinchliffe painted up. Those wer always my figures growing up as a kid, but I could never afford them. Now that I can afford better looking figures, I still love the Hinchliffe models as they transport me back to the days of seeing them on display in magazines highlighting Peter Gilder's work. Thank you for sharing.

Back in the day when sisal string was used before grass tufts were invented.

Once upon a time I was making whole fields out of sisal string and they are still standing
