I'm declaring War on my "Wargaming" crap, I invite you to join me.

Just reorganising my man-cave and founds loads of bits I forgot I had, no doubt my man-shed will be worse.

"Sheds" you meant surely?

Takes me back a bit.  You mentioned 'crude' separate weapons came with Swoppets.  I'm pretty sure the 'crude' weapons were Timpo, the Swoppets were super detailed.  Back in the day (mid 1970s), my first club did a lot of 54mm gunfight using Britains Deetail figures.  They had drilled the hands out and replaced them with separate weapons.  When I got back into 54mm I never could find them but I believe that they may have been made by Greenwood & Ball.

Well, I'll always want to buy less, paint more and game more but alas, when wanted - not needed, but wanted - miniatures start to pop up it's really difficult to ignore them so I stopped worrying about that. As for games and kickstarters, I came to my senses and really started to think if I really must go all-in on plastic boardgaming pieces and expansions I probably never will play/use.
So yes, I cut a little bit on buying and started to play more often but still... 
I used to sell some excess models a few times, but I stopped to, since I tend to buy them again if they ever pop up ( or another crazy idea/project comes to mind ), so it's not worth the hassle. Yes, I do have issues  .

Yep, you're right there SM, Timpo were cheap and cheerful. Yet I've seen this little chap go for seventy quid on evilbay...

Do you guys realize what Timpo figurines go for in the toy collectors' market these days?

Some years ago I stumbled on some of my childhood Timpo knights, and thought I would see if they were still available. Almost got a heart attack when I found some...

I think the sheriff in the above post is a good pointer.

He's really Doctor Thaddeus Tripp, I got him with the medicine wagon and use him as Marshal Wyatt Twerp...
