Back in my day, to build a model, we had to walk ten miles up hill, each way, in a blizzard during the hottest day in July, to get beeswax to stick sticks and mud together!

For fun and heritage, I will start posting old model inserts, flyers amd brochures. If you have any, please share!

First, a Tamiya catalog, c. early 1972.



Remember the classic Imrie/Risley Miniatures ?
Quoted Text

The I/R Miniatures’ team used their combined knowledge of military history, uniforms and human and equine anatomies in the manufacture of their military miniatures that was seldom seen before; making I/R Miniatures the most highly regarded museum quality military miniature company in America.

So highly regarded were Imrie/Risley Miniatures that they were contracted by the Franklin Mint to produce the first pewter figures offered by the Frankin Mint. A stunning group of thirteen figures that represented the original thirteen states for America’s Bicentennial.
