I started wargaming back in the 1960's with Airfix plastic figures but when I had more time & money in the mid 1970's I got into 15mm. This was then quite a new scale with a few manufacturers such as Peter Laing and Minifigs. Most of those old figures are too poor quality to stand against today's but I still have a quite a few around and have recently based some up for DBA while I finish my more recent Medieval aquisitions.

I am currently working on British armies for DBA in the 'Dark Ages' era and have just picked up (cheap) a lot of Essex medievals so they are next (well that was the original plan). 

Some other 15mm painted stuff. Figures are a mix of Essex, Feudal Castings & Irregular but there may be the odd one from other manufacturers.
