Stearns at Hinchliffe

From Mil Mod February 1973 the legendary Phil Stearns (the OSS, Penthouse and Mil Mod - beat that for a CV) pays a visit to Hinchliffe Models.

For a little more on Stearns see Shep Paine's tribute.

I was rather taken with the 10" howitzer, a very early mark indeed. ;-); 12 April 2015 at 01:32

You can buy many/most of the Hinchcliffe ranges from Ian Hinds (http://www.hindsfiguresltd.com/Figures-For-Sale.html). Very cheaply I might add :); 27 July 2015 at 10:31
