A life long addiction to model soldiers!

I will be the first to admit that I am addicted to painting and collecting model soldiers, and have been since I first discovered them around the age of 15. I may have taken a few short breaks here and there but I always returned with fresh enthusiasm and motivation. And so it begins again, this time driven by the fact that I really want to get some wargaming in this year and to do so I needed to find a more modest project that fits around my current domestic situation and the space that I have available. The house is busy again, with my youngest daughter having moved back home and her partner dividing his time between here and his parents where he is learning a trade working with his Dad, and our other daughters dropping round with the grand daughters and the sleep overs, this is just what we were missing in Spain.

The 40mm's remain in their travel boxes upstairs, although I hope to get a display unit for them at some point. The fact is that at the moment, much as I love them, I just don't see myself tackling the building of terrain for them and all of the disruption that would bring, they are just too big! I'll continue to paint and expand them but am now turning my attention to a completely new project that features a return to 6mm scale figures.

Rather than take this blog on yet another diversion I have decided to keep the 40mm theme going here and to start a new one for the new project where I hope that I can be more flexible and post about other things as and when I feel like doing so. So without further ado, here is the link, and if you care to take a look that would be most kind of you.
