Demilitarised DMZ Post No. 5 – my (STS 42mm LBB30) Boy Scout Figures and others such as my Girl Scout / Girl Guide conversions are back out on the road and the tabletop again.
Ready for Wide Games and Snowball fights …
Trek Cart disaster … whoops!
S&D 1/43 Trek Cart Kit

Now the weather is better and supplies restocked I will soon be able to finish these figures and conversions in gloss varnish, shiny toy soldier style.

Not sure what Ron Weasley is doing there either … Does Hogwarts have a Scout and guide troop? Maybe there is a troll lurking under the bridge?

Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures.
I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures.
Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules.
To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...

Scouting Wide Games for the Tabletop and Garden 
Looking forward to seeing the Scouts out upon patrol. An interesting base board or mat you are using. Can you tell us a little more about it?
P.s I hope Ron is a herald of some fantasy elements coming into the forthcoming games…

The base board was kindly made for display by a railway modelling brother as a Christmas present. Still some work to do on the water / stream section.

Good spotting of an enrobed Weasley Herald. Presumably Hogwarts Scouts and Guides would have the reverse challenge to make fire, shelter, etc without Magic and potions, Muggle style?
