If it wasn't for lockdown madness I probably wouldn't have bothered, but it was fun to do and I found some stuff I had forgotten about. I had to use and airbrush to blow the dust off the Riders of Rohan  lol


Indeed! I know that feeling of finding stuff that was forgotten - but it’s then pleasing to have found them again.

Very helpful and feel much better about my "collection" now.

Can't wait to show my better half how small my collection is compared to a true enthusiast, she will be soo happy I don't have a collection to match yours.  :)

Just remains to say, well done sir, and long may you continue to enjoy them all.

Very impressive collection Ken both in size and quality of painting.

Interesting the range of scales. Would it be fair to say most wargamers favour one particular scale?

Hi Pete, hope you are well

Its a good question regarding the scales, a lot of my older collections are in smaller scales which would have been a financial choice. I try not to do the same period in different scales so I have not swooped for example to 28mm in Napoleonic.

As I've gone on I've switched to 28mm mostly because I can afford it and also I find 28mm so much easier to paint. I'm doing some 15mm Kursk at the moment and the Infantry have been a bit of a struggle.
