1/72 scale figures new additions wargaming

High Street Hiatus II

Yes its Chester and another great find in a real model shop.

in the covered arcade of this impressive building was a fantastic find
I did notice in this shop that Airfix and other “UK brands” were dominant – the shop did not look like it lacked for business so maybe imported stocks are a problem? – or maybe Chester folks love Airfix!
the place was awash with metcalfe card kits – I had seen this gatehouse advertised but this was the first time I had seen one in a shop
The 1/72 figure ranges seemed much reduced – empty shelves. The Hat Austrians were regular as expected but the Waterloo1815 1/72 figures I nearly dropped – caught out by their weight! both sets were the last ones on show and were old stock I think – and in metal!!!!!
ok just 6 men on horseback but I had to have them.

Rarely do you find metal figures on the high street. I got lucky!
