A very short video to celebrate the completion of the restoration of the Ostergotland infantry recently acquired from Charles S Grant. These original 1970s vintage plastic figures that featured in The War Game (1971) are very brittle and their renovation involved fixing several broken legs and ankles!
Their original paintwork was unvarnished Humbrol enamels. Starting with a thinned coat of clear PVA, I touched up the paintwork where necessary with modern acrylics (Citadel, Vallejo, Foundry and Liquitex) before applying a matt varnish overall.
Originally unbased when owned by the late Charles Grant, his son Brigadier (Ret’d) Charles S Grant mounted them on individual card bases, but to reduce handling of the figures I have mounted them on thin MDF bases in sixes, threes, twos and singles to suit my own Shot, Steel & Stone ruleset.
Here’s hoping they last another 50 or 60 years!
The balsa wood buildings in the video are also from the Grant family and featured in books wri
