As a child of 25-52 I got involved in another collecting passion besides German junk.
I admire those that can create with their hands. I find myself far to critical and impatient and wind up undoing what I create.
I did however note at a young age an ability to paint plus a vivid imagination.

Hence 25mm.-28mm. lead/pewter figurines.
A few follow.

The proverbial wood cutter.

Very nice. Are these for a game or just for fun? I also got into the small guys for wargaming. Neat pieces!

Vern, thank you. I think these are mostly for therapy. I have collected them over the years by what catches my eye or presents a challenge to paint. I have accumulated a fair number of them so I guess I've needed alot of therapy over the years.
Never have checked out the wargame aspect, perhaps someday.

I'll post a few more and let it go at that.
