Welcome

This is my small part of the web dedicated to my favourite way of staying out of my wife's way, which is by miniature wargaming.

Have been an avid borad/wargamer off and on for some time and my main area of interest is 20mm WWII. I have though like so many other gamers other areas that I like to dabble in and will hopefully be sharing them with the web...

My main wargaming aim other than to have large armies in all periods all well painted (!) is to try and encourage my soon to be 4 year old son to follow in my foot steps into gaming whcih to date seems to be working as he has already started painting figures.

Photos and hopefully plenty wargaming wise to follow.....

First anniversary of my blog!

Evening

It was actually a few days ago and thought I'd post some quick photos of my gaming room to show how much or more appropriately how little progress has been made over the past year!

One interesting from a wargamer's perspectvie is a comment my wife made the other day when I was painting away, in that I still hadn't painted all those buildings that I got for Xmas from last year! I took this as encouragment to spend more time painting but have been reliably informed that, that was not what was meant...:o)

 The first bn well all but two of the British Bn in 28mm

 My work area.

 AFV's waiting to be finsihed and troops waitrign for basing.

 Finished Brit Inf

 Finsished German Armour

Back in the room

Evening,

Have returned from working away and getting back into family routiene and getting the gaming room ready for painting and gaming. My time away saw me mangaging to do plenty of board gaming but not that much in the way of painting so will need to try and up my output.

Have been experimenting with getting the white - right on the 28mm French samples that have got from Front Rank.

Photos wil follow of this and my new paint racks.

Happy gaming.

Regards

Phil
