Gavin Collins - artist/painter
54mm/1:32nd scale (2 1/4 inch) whitemetal/pewter (?) toy soldiers painted in a 'toy soldier' style, unpainted kits of the medieval
'Poitier' figures turn-up on eBay, so it must be assumed they were purchasable at some point and the studio/a shop in Lewes was apparently visitable. Toward the end (?) the painter was reported (by a contributor to the main Blog) to be suffering from a Cancer, and thus the quality of the work dropped-off.
