Whose legs are these?
It’s been a busy year at Scouting Wide Games, full of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and Mutant Snowmen (without much real snow) on the Tabletop.
This past year this blog has also been a great Demilitarised solace to me after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2023.
What will next year 2023 bring?

Crossposted from my Man Of TIN Blog Two, includes mention of an unusual new snowball team to paint and take to the Woking 54mm Games day in March 2023.
This was my main Christmas present … watch this space!
Great service and crisp castings from Antony and family at Imperial Miniatures, continuing that Dorset Model Soldier tradition.
Happy New Year to all my readers!

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 ...
