As i have this week off work,i have beening removing all plastic figures from their sprues and placing them together.I have put them all in a store box ready for painting and modelling on.This week i am slimming down and certainly not buying anything else for months (well maybe a box a month).I have more than enough figures and vehicles,to be happy with,i doubt the 6mm will go any farther as prices are more than i bargained for.

 

I got charged £2.09 for sales tax,plus £2.00 for postage,thats nearly a fiver for 3 items in 6mm,thats before i have paid for them!!.Its really disappointed me the cost of things now::(.I was looking up the price of resin 6mm buildings!! forget that!! i could build a real house cheaper.

With what Craig showed me with the paper/card buildings this is an avenue i will choose for my 1/72 figures/vehicles.Alos keeping to this one forum for me is brilliant,i find going to other ones,very dangerous as i see something i get tempted by,then it all starts again!! AAARRGGHHHH!!!!.

 

At least this time the 6mm is only a slight mistake which can be rectified very quickly,theres a couple of RPG books i should not have bought either!!! AAARRGGHH!!!.

 

My continuing search for "Mutant chronicles" RPG/Wargammimg books has been very good,most of the books i got through Ebay in brilliant condition!!.I do love that game/background because it covers everything i need or what in fantasy/sci fi/horror.

Also i will finish my ruins and send the photos on to paul if thats ok with him,i have 4 ruins i need to photo,just to prove i do actually do something !!.

 

Apart from the above i am fine and very happy with everything,its just sometimes work can be very tiring and i do not always feel up to posting,as i work outside sweeping pathways/removing rubbish/ and keeping the site clean and tidy.

 

So cheers all,youe mate as always tony:)

Sorted:) with it being friday.I have finally sorted all the 1/72 figures and vehicles i have,HOORAY!! i have more than enough and will get to creating something:).It

was a mistake buying all those metals and trying to do to many projects at once,

so letting them all go was a blessing,many thanks to john at wargames for that.

 

From the companies i buy from these will be cut down to "Italerai/Ceasar/Pegasus" these i think provide the best value for money.I find "Hat" are awful and their use of that cheap "bubblegum plastic" is dreadful a real waste of money.

So i am glad all thats done and i am very happy with what i have done:),just a few books to part with and thats it !!HOORAY HOORAY!!.

 

Thank you for listening cheers all youe mate,

 

:)Tony:)

So i am free to get on with making more buildings and structures.

Sorry to have been so quiet:( but nothingis wrong,everything is fine and good.Have not bought anything recently.All though all the plastic sets i am interested in are out! greeks/vikings.Shame the 1/72 plastic russians are still not out,never mind!!.

 

Bought myself "Saving Private Ryan" i am really enjoying the extra disc its very good,i have band of brothers on blu-ray as and i am looking forward to "The pacific" on blu ray after its run on sky.This looks as good as band of brothers,same company HBO.

Would anyone here be interested in cooperating in creating a set of rules for fighting small unit (Platoon/section, one figure = one man) WW2 rules?

 

It is always a period I have found fascinating but most of the rules I have tried have been overcomplicated.  I'd like to see rules you can learn in an evening, have minimum or no book-keeping, yet still give you the flavours of the various national forces.
