Addendum: The creation, collection, trading, alteration, and painting of lead miniatures is an entire hobby in and of itself, usually in addition to gaming. Wargamers and RPGers may own thousands of leads. Miniatures can also be manufactured from plastic or PVC. Leads representing figures are usually at 25mm scale (2.5 cm = 5 feet). [GJ1]
