Hinchliffe Models and figures....

Post by Peeler »

Copied from a post on FB..

Ian Hinds runs a successful second hand figure business. He is also the owner of Hinchliffe Models and figures.
Ian doesn't do social media and he asked me (Crann Tarra Miniatures) to highlight he is looking to semi retire and is wanting to sell the Hinchliffe side of his business. Preferably as a whole business but he would entertain selling individual period ranges e.g. Napoleonic, Ancients etc. He informs me he has metal masters that were cast in 1980 for the majority of the ranges.
if you or anyone you know may be seriously interested in acquiring the range in whole or in part then please contact me for further information etc.

So tempting Graham but Mrs Willz might not be to happy about a load of new soldiers :), she happy with Crann Tara figures but I don't think I could sell a ton of Hinchcliffe to her.

Let’s hope he isn’t valuing the business using the Hind’s Figures pricing model

This. His definition of what constitutes an "excellent" painting standard defies any explanation. Even drug-related ones.

Especially considering the one time I did some commission painting for him personally he quibbled that i'd missed two French light infantry plumes on over 1000 6mm Napoleonics.
