Wargames room make over

 Hi Gents,

A few shots of the revamped wargames room with an Italian wars set up on the table .

This is actually the Acre set up rejigged.

Will do some pics of the collection of the next few days I surprised myself when I saw how much there is.

Under the counter storage disguised to look like books.

Ive been working on this for a wee while now just about there.

The room used to be a garage.

Tables custom built 4 m long 1.8m wide.
This is where I will be camping out during the holidays.

Bruno guarding the troops.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Gents,

The latest additions are the brush work of Dave Jarvis. I've  still quite a bit to do with this collection.

 Its taken me years to get this far with this collection but worth the wait for sure the small collection now has its figure head.

The sculpting by EBob capturing exactly the look I was after.

Back posting

 All most a year since last post I had thought that lock down would have seen me posting more but surprisingly this was not the case. Long walks with my dog Bruno seem to have taken up most of my free time, photos of figures being replaced with photos of Bruno I think its now time to start posting again.

The collection continues to grow at a pace with additions to my TYW collection which arrived last month. A new Wild West collection being introduced painted by DJ

.I have James Roach working on more figures for the Punic wars Successors this time around and also have a small samurai contingent on the go.

 EBob committed to sculpting some more Byzantines for me so new foot figures waiting to be cast up.

 ( the house sits on the site of the Roman temp camp).
 The views are terrific in all directions you can see why the Romans picked this spot.

Wild West natives

Down Mexico way I have picked up some Apache
painted by Bugsda very nice work will post some pics at some point.

I have a few collections on the go at present Indian mutiny being one of them this is actually the 4th time I have started this collection most of the other three having been sold off over the years.
