Since I hit retirement I've more time to devote to my hobbies - without feelings of guilt - one of which is collecting vintage plastic figures then, if desired, stripping & repainting them. Sometimes in faithful imitation of their original finish and other times devoting much more time and care than the average piece-worker could in the 1960s
My 'Swoppet Knight' figures from that time did not require much more than a clean up, restoration of some missing parts and some silver-grey paint on the armour before they were ready to go to war again

My father and his friends destroyed entire armies of this!
But he still keep a few figures for collection.
