A place where Ancient Ancient armies can peacefully retire to...
Possibly.
Oh, and some pulp. A few things on 6mm SciFi tanks and stuff. And the toy soldiers. Especially the War of 1897... And now I seem to be starting on 20mm Napoleonics as well!

A couple of old A13s
Having a general mooch around and came across these two.
No idea how long ago since I carved them, 40 years? - the guns, I remember, are needles from a sewing machine. That's about all I can remember about them.
And in a way its a sadness that today everything is orovided. i once remember the Fewsters( I think that was their name) bringing WW1 German pickelhaube infantry by Airfix ,that had been converted into British 7 years War Light infantry. Everyone was wowed. Today they would have a dozen choices of manufacturer.
It was part of the fun. I want this... now, how can I makje it...
One of my current pleasures is converting the old Garrison ranges. If I had to use 70s figures it would be so wrong, being able to just cast, then mix and match. OK, the end result may not be brilliant, but there is a nice sense of achievement.
Nice, very nice!
ReplyDeleteNot much left of the Shermans to Priests, Stugs to Pz3, Stalin to KV, etc... used to do quite a bit with balsa in the past.
ReplyDeletelovely work...the sort of thing that would get ooohs and aahs when first deployed in a game.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Perhaps 40 years ago, today, I doubt it.
DeleteThose are really clever - I was never any good with balsa myself. If I'd seen these 40 years ago I would definitely have gone oooh!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
