As usual Gary's take on modelling history is as sharp as it is comedic, so apologies once again for the background chuckling from Ben. Special mentions to Amera, Italeri, Revell and Marx.

From Princess Anne to Space cadets [sic] the choice was always eclectic and not always what the punter wanted. As usual Gary's take on modelling history is as sharp as it is comedic, so apologies for the background chuckling from Ben. This podcast really does prove that the marketing department didn't always get it right in the early days of figurine production at Haldane Place.

How do these different responses affect what Kasia describes as the 'pleasure culture of war'?Producer: Giles Edwards.
