"Paper or plastic...or pewter"










It dawned on me today that I've slowly drifted from all unpainted plastic, to nearly all pewter (with a few hand-painted plastics in the mix).

This gradual "switcheroonie" (thanks Ella Fitzgerald) began in 2012 when I rolled-out my, 20 years in the making, Third Michigan Volunteer Infantry - in pewter (https://toysoldiersforever.blogspot.com/2012/02/old-third-all-present-or-accounted-for.html).  Since then, save for Marx Blue and Gray, my Civil War scenarios have pretty much been all metal


Speaking of Marx Giant Blue and Gray, I'm planning on having them battle it out on the toy soldier table over the winter.

I'll rub my hands in anticipation, as we all...


Soldier on!

Mannie
