Summary
Pathe synopsis: Although normally associated with children’s games, plasticine really comes to life under the expert touch of 17-year-old John Runnicles of Pinner, Middlesex, who makes detailed and colourful models of British and foreign uniforms. John started while instructing fellow naval cadets in unifrom recognition - now the once rough models have become real works of art.
