About six years ago before moving to Spain I decided to pass on my collection of 800 Hinchliffe ECW figures. I was concerned that they would get damaged in transit and they took up a huge amount of storage space. I had been in contact throughout the project with Rob and he had made some suggestions that I had adopted, the main one being the three deep deployment of the foot regiments which made them look so much more like the contemporary illustrations. So Rob became the new owner of the collection, and drove down to Dymchurch to pick them up a couple of weeks before we left for Spain.
In the three years since then they have been transformed into what you see below. They have all been re based, re touched with added highlights, new hand painted flags for every unit, reins added to the horses ( many Hinchliffe horse codes were supplied without cast on reins so they could be soldered into the riders hands), and given a couple of coats of glorious gloss varnish. They are exquisite.
