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.
Still building/painting and happy with everything:D, Cheers all tony:D

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. | |
