Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
Well it looks good, so that's a good start :-)

Good old Airfix !
ReplyDeleteLovely photo Ross, great to see those Airfix figures on the table again, reminds me of the old Airfix guide to wargaming the ACW, one of my favourite books. There is a new generation of 1/72nd plastic ACW's about to be released by HaT, a set of marching figures (or more likely 2 sets) in fully accurate uniforms including full sized cartridge boxes, all at right shoulder shift arms pose and marching rather than standing. They could well tempt me back into this period :) Would mix very well with the Airfix set.
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are heating up!

Airfix still works for games like this - I still turn up a few Aifix ACW figures when I'm rooting about in the attic.
ReplyDeleteHi Ross- Nice to see your vintage AIRFIX for ACW...big battles are good. KEV.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it works well, but it looks fantastic!
