Hi I worked for Poste Militaire with Ray Lamb in the 1970's then in the 8o's ran my own model figure company Syntown Miniatures, all 90mm white metal figures. I know Poste Militaire closed down a few years back now but I was wondering if Ray Lamb was still around? Im now a works manager for a small engineering firm up in Birmingham UK

Hello Chris and welcome to PF.
Ralph.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, As a result of the help and assistance from members here I am back in touch with Ray Lamb, trading anecdotes as if 30 years was a mere blink of an eye, thank you all so much it means a lot to me.

The miniature MP44 and MG34 were the favourite items I sculpted, the MG34 being made from no less than 27 seperate pieces of brass, copper, pewter & steel metals soldered together, the MP44 was not far behind it in complexity I will dig out some of my old photos if I can find them. Im amazed these ads survived -

Hi Chris,

You'll be alright on here as we now have a proper Brummie translator, the Google one kept going into melt down

Hi chaps. I acquired this collection about 20 years ago. The seller told me to hold onto it even though I have no interest in the subject. Sadly he passed last year so I thought I would try to understand why he valued it. Any comments welcome. Thank you in advance. Ian

Hi Ian, Welcome

Better to start a new thread than dig up a zombie one.

Sorry can't help with your question.

Cheers

Ian Haynes, The gentleman that bequeathed my property to you had no right to do so it was not his to do so with, It is in effect stolen property, the original master figures and parts were loaned to the Gentleman in Kent and he did a runner with them, and I never got them back. Can we please negotiate their return to me somehow.
