I can see an entire TV series in this - "Knowing me, knowing UHU" with Alan Peeler.

Don’t forget the banana oil when you’re buying your 20mm plastics.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.

Why am I having flashbacks to mid 1970s Airfix Magazines? I will be dreaming about doing the whole of the Hyborian Age using only Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham sets.

For me, it's wellingtonics with the ACW series. When they brought out French and British line infantry, I had so much repainting to do.

I remember the series of articles terry wise did about convering figure s for the whole of the wars from airfix plastics. Always wished they had been collected.

Terry Wise converted missing ACW troops from the Cowboys, Indians, Wagon Train and Foreign Legion sets.

And, rather bizarrely, British commandos!

(Tiger Zouaves, in case anyone was wondering.)
