Thank the lord for washers (and 2p's)
ReplyDeleteCheaper and easier to get than the fancy wooden bases I can mail-order from the US.
Delete2ps or not 2ps , that is the question…
ReplyDeleteI favour 2ps over washers, cheaper. You get 50 for a pound😂
I do like the eight man companies btw.

Me too, just big enough to have a history.
DeleteOur few remaining coins are either too small for 54's or more expensive, Actually, physical cash is getting pretty rare at all these days.
Yes, I've now run out of 2p coins. As I'm still stuck indoors I must ask a friend to see if they can get some from the bank. Stock up now, apparently they're going to stop production!
DeleteThe only coins I can easily get in this digital age are more expensive than washers.
DeleteYour figures must truly have an identity crisis!
ReplyDeleteWell, they are partially inspired by toy soldier armies Red vs Blue et , but also on the Fenian raids where many, if not most, were acw vets, some North, some south, wearing bits of their old uniforms, as well as some in custom made green jackets for Ireland
