Tomorrow's Forecast
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.

DeleteDon't recall seeing these before?
ReplyDeleteClick the Modern tag. They only come out for a quick light hearted game at rare intervals.

ReplyDeleteBright red berets. Perfect camouflage for an ambush! Even better for not losing them in the long grass. :-)

To be honest I was tempted to paint over the factory paint but when I was a young fellow with a toy gun, I had my cousin's red beret from his time with the parachute company of the Queen's Own Rifles so I kept them. The parachute companies prime role was to drop into the arctic as an advance guard in case our neighbour across the pole came calling without an invitation and I presume that up there, red was no more noticeable than green.
