Among fans, this old video was thought lost.

Cool video. Some of the comments stated they were 25mm but they look like a much larger scale.

That was amazing, thank you for sharing it with us. I understand the process to create a pattern, then the mold and then the casting; however, seeing it all in action only makes the process that much more impressive. I also never really thought about all the other aspects involved in the business of casting figures, until I saw all those people checking, stocking, packing and shipping the product. It made me wonder how Peter Berry at Baccus 6mm does it all by himself. Granted, the scale Mr. Berry casts is smaller and limited to only 6mm and the promotional video said the Hinchliffe range was from 12 - 90 mm, so not really a fair comparison. Anyway, I digress. It was fun to see Peter Gilder and Jim Oden. Thanks! :)

Hoi, as I do recall buying these 'items' of theirs for uses within "Trireme"/etc.

There were other more greatly 'detailed' kind from "CinC" or yet still another, because I do have some of around the same size as what are "in" that "Conquest of the Empire" and their 'sails' have a 'Skull and Crossbones' "motif", so they'll become 'Mercenary/Pirate' sorts! I also obtained an 'Army Men Box'-("Airfix") of "Ancient Britons" as being FOR such as well.

I cut my teeth, figuratively speaking, on Airfix figures back in the day.
