Hinton Hunt AN 102 - Painted

I finished the Austrian figure this morning and applied a coat of gloss varnish. Its been a long time since I have used black ink for lining. I used off white for the coat and this has turned out well.









I am going to start cleaning up the rest of my Hinton Hunt/early 20mm minifigs and start renovating them.

I am going to order a few recast HH from John Cunningham to add a few more units.

    Good as new, if not better.

    To borrow a phrase, "He's the very model of a modern Major General!" Are Hinton Hunt figures available again? If so, where can I order some to fill in some holes in my collection?

      John Cunningham has a few figures available as recasts. I am about to order a few myself. For command I am going to use SHQ.

    Mark,

    Nice work there.

    Welcome to the madness that is Hinton hunting. There will be no escape!

    Yes, John is very helpful there.

    I'd be interested in swapping HH and DK figures if you have spares. I can provide a list of my spares if you wish.

    I'm sure your 54 will soon multiply.

    Perhaps if you had mail ordered some from Marcus H around the time of Camden Passage they might still be on their way!

    So there was somebody else buying Austrians from the Pierrepont Arcade. I'm more than pleased to have discovered that. I never grew up sufficiently to put my lads into a box in the shed but spent decades trying to find compatible 20mms. RSMs proved to be a bit too small but, as you have discovered, SHQs do the job. I have quite a lot of spare SHQ Austrian infantry if you are at all interested. I like your rendering of AN102. More power to your reinvigorated endeavours.

      Hi Archduke

      Why dont you drop me a line. I used Red Rover Bus tickets to visit Pierrepoint Arcade as well as Tradition in Piccadilly and Suren in Sloane Square.
