Hi gents,
I have come to the sad conclusion that I just don't have enough room and therefore something has to give.I added 6 new cabinets to the games room (Total now 17) to tidy up the overspill and these are now just about full so its time to rationalise a bit.I have been selling off some bits and pieces to make room for the new stuff but will really have to have a serious think about how to proceed.The Napoleonic collection is continuing and the Italian Wars collection is carrying on at present but I still want to do the Crusades in 28mm The Ottoman expansion wars of the 15th century a Zulu/British and a Trojan collection

Great work, once again!
ReplyDeleteYour chariots, and the fort, are really nice...my favourite figure is the archer, really impressive!
Cheers Phil thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAlas there is only so much time and space, Willie! Better to focus on a limited number of big projects, as you suggest. 17 cabinets, phew!
ReplyDeleteI need to flog some bits off, too, to make space in my ONE cabinet (jealous ;-) ).
Cheers, Simon
I think I will have to Simon problem is I really like most periods!
DeleteLovely looking figures, really great paint job.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a wrench for you. Have you considered adding shelves to the cabinets as a stop-gap? Storing some of the collection in boxes and then rotating the periods/armies that are out on display?
ReplyDeleteThat fort is wonderful and the chariots are great :)
It is Tamsin,I have added some extra shelves but they fill up quickly.
DeleteThey look great. Sorry you're having to do the dreaded "clean out" for space. I just recently did that myself.
ReplyDeleteYou know the feeling then not nice!
DeleteNice show, Willie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay love the flying pig by the way!
DeleteJust rent a garage or move to a bigger house ;-D
ReplyDeleteNice set of battle taxis..the fort..by Paul Darnell?
Cheers
paul
Paul,
ReplyDeleteNow thats a plan!
The Fort is by Mr Darnell spot on!
You never just make a post. You make full presentations with some serious story-telling going on in them.
ReplyDeletePlease - keep it up. :-)
Super stuff yet again!!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Blimey, 17 x cabinets and still not enough room.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you will be branching out into the zulu war. Great looking fort BTW.
Thanks again gents!
ReplyDeletePat your Zulu collection has rekindled my interest in that conflict!
Willie I would love to see you do the Ottomans in the 15th century, surely an army you can use against so many opponents and well into the 16th century as well
