| Introduction | Like most wargamers in their 50's I started off with Airfix 72nd & 32nd scale figures (+Timpo) using Bruce Quarry, Donald Featherstone & Charles Grants rules. I grew up in Queensland where you couldn't buy metal figures and I had to order from Melbourne and then eventually directly from the UK. Minifigs were my first metals and I then progressed to Wargames Foundry (& eventually to Perry). Napoleonics is my passion, though I am just as keen about the Imperial Roman era and have dabbled into SYW. I have a great friend Geoff who has been an inspiration for me to always improve my skills and motivate my sometimes flagging interests. He is an excellent modeller and painter. I'm very lucky to have an amazing and supporting wife who understands the time required to invest in the hobby. My current projects are the 1814 Camapign for France and revisiting my Romans after our latest trip to UK / Hadrains Wall country. Iam also an Assistant District Commissioner in Scouts Australia. |
