Yes indeed Dave - a good article and interesting interview.
As a continuing customer of Andy's - I would like to add my own personal observations too. I might add that I am in no way associateded with Andy's business - other than a friend and customer.
I have found, in my dealings with Andy - that he is one of the most positive people that I have ever dealt with. If you come up with an idea for something, and Andy doesn't have it in stock - he will invariably try to make it for you! Now, that is so different to many other makers - that it took some time for me to realise that, but it is true.
My recent acquisition of my lookalike Britains Life Guard Band is testimony to that. I merely mentioned in passing to Andy that I had been looking for that band for several years - without much success, other than an odd figure every now and then - and he offered to make a band for me - as castings - OR painted! - at very reasonable prices.
The evidence that what he said - he did - are there to see in other parts of this Forum.
So......... if you like the Hollowcast Toy Soldiers of old - but can't seem to find JUST what you're looking for anywhere - contact Andy - and you never know, your dreams might come true too.
Thanks Andrew. jb
