A blog for those interested in identifying vintage Hinton Hunt 20 mm wargames figures.
Where possible identification photos will be of unpainted figures.
These are eight David Clayton castings of SXN 41, one piece Saxon Chevaulegers charging. These came from Jack and in the absence of any Saxon infantry they will be brigaded with their cuirassier brethren within my Polish divisions.
I'm very pleased to nominate your blog as a Liebster Blog, since I follow it and enjoy it, and since I think that you have not been nominated already.
The rules are simple enough (even I understand them) - you have to display the Liebster Logo (you can find it on my Prometheus in Aspic blog and a whole pile of other places), acknowledge my nomination and nominate 5 blogs which you like and read regularly, and which have less than 200 followers.
Then all you have to do is send comments to those blogs to give them the news.
Thanks for your blog - my compliments - please enjoy your Liebster status!
I welcome comments on this blog and on the posts in it. All comments are moderated (so I have to approve them before they appear here). I receive notification of comments once you have made them.
If you want to contact me to send photos etc you can e-mail me HERE

Searching
For the Napoleonic range there are now four main ways to search this blog for the figure you are looking for.
If you can read the first part of the code number of a figure, you can search using codes.
If you know or think you know the nationality of the figure, you can search by nation.
If you are looking for a foot figure (infantry or artillery), you can search by pose.
If you are looking for a mounted figure, you can search by type.
For smaller ranges (American Civil War and Medieval) there is a simpler search - by range (ACW or Medieval) and then by foot, mounted or artillery figures.
There have been a number of people who have been an inspiration in pursuing this hobby and getting this project off the ground.
I couldn't have got started properly myself without the Vintage 20 mil site created by Richard and Harry .
Pierre Omidyar invented e-bay in 1995 and so has been responsible for my haemorrhaging money for the last few years.
I would like to thank fellow e-bay buyers who have made prices for Hinton Hunt items so high on e-bay that I have mainly stopped haemorrhaging money and am very tempted to start selling instead of buying.
A group of fellow collectors and enthusiasts have offered help, support, comments, figures, words of wisdom, or even sold me figures - among them Alan, Dick, Harry, Ian, Iain, Jim, John, Peter, Tony, Uwe and Will. If I have missed you off you know who you are (and I have obviously forgotten).
Thanks to those who have joined in the joint purchase of a number of large collections and who have passed on the opportunities for these.
And not really for this blog, thanks to those who are buying up the moulds for a number of lovely old 20mm ranges (other than Hinton Hunt) and will be bringing them into production soon.

Thanks Tony, that's very kind.
As you may have suspected, my attitude to these things hasn't changed since the stylish blogger awards - this sort of thing isn't for me.
But I appreciate your appreciation...

Ach well...
Great looking chevaux-legers, love the colors!
Phil.
