I have been wargaming and collecting figures for 45 years now,and I decided very early on that I was really no good at painting to any high standard,but wanted to field big armies-not for me the 48 figure Roman Legion-oh no,mine would be 200 figures strong!! So I started to build up my armies of figures covering the whole spectrum of "popular" periods,working on the 3 foot rule-which clearly states that from 3 foot away,you can only see the main colour on a figure and the standard or flag it is carrying!!
So,what was the final count I hear you cry-25,000-yes 25 thousand of the little perishers!! What an investment in time and money they are,giving pleasure and pain in equal measure every time I game with them,and there's always a "project" waiting around the corner-will it never end? I hope not!!
From floor to ceiling,boxes and boxes of 'em-every single cupboard is filled with them!
I thought I might just let you see what the rest of the Garage/wargames room looks like...
I have a "project" under way at the moment,involving the "Battling Tanks"-more of that later on.
