The only photo I could find of Bob P. The Operation Vijay game in progress at COW 2013. Bob Plumb is furthest from the camera, reading his notes - near the TV. |
Bob's wife, Pauline contacted Wargame Developments to seek assistance in disposing of Bob's collection of figures and games and eventually - after some sterling work from Bob Cordery - a rescue mission was planned.
My end of things involved the figures - mostly 25mm and some 15mm - all from the 'pointy-stick era. I had agreed in advance to purchase them as part of a three way deal with Ian Drury and John Bassett. I picked them up in mid-November and began the sort out. The photo at the top of this post shows some of the 40+ boxes of toys!
The initial sort out was completed by early December and most of the toys distributed to their new owners.
As I sort out my own 'share' I will reveal the figures here first.

Good to see Bob's toys going to someone who can appreciate them. Will you need an addition to the house to fit them? Or can you just kick an offspring out to face the real world?
Cheers

I counted them all in....and then I counted about three quarters of them out again! The net result so far is an additional eight boxfiles. That's er, all.....
