Ahh the awesome Monogram figures from the 60's - or they could be repops - but lovely none the less....

I have several sets of these MRRC repops, suit my sixties themed track.
I am also lucky enough to have a lot of John Bacons figures here.

Hi guy's ,these ones are original ,they were still on the sprues and in the bag and box .My track is also sixties themed so they will be perfect . Been a bit cold in the shed to start painting them and also lots of school plays to attend !!!

Just a quick note, have had an interesting conversation with a chap who has centrifugal casting machine and makes wargaming figures . After a bit of a chat , he's taken some of my pitcrew and is going to have a go at casting them in white metal . Will report back in a few weeks as to progress .

Years back I used to build model figures and vehicles and set them in a vulcanised mould for casting. At the time I heard of someone who was prosecuted for making castings of a company's original figures and selling them. Just saying... But for personal use, well, it's a bit like copying a cd or dvd. Who hasn't!

I'm surprised there aren't more original sets of 1/32 spectator figures about for slot racing. I note some of those 1/30 plastic figures from China are virtual copies of Preiser's!

Hi ,the guy i mentioned is just trying to see the viability of the casting process , he is able to sculpt his own figures He had no idea of maybe a potential market in slot cars

It was a few weeks ago but got the first attempt at casting the figures ,the first run was is resin to test the mold  . Photo not too clear the original s are in the white the copy's in the dark grey .Not too bad I think

A question ,does anybody know how to find out about copyright or license for these figures .My friend wants to make more of these and others mostly in white metal , which he says is cheaper .If they are altered a bit is that still an infringement .

Many thanks Steve
