70 years later, on another continent.......
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.

I am hoping the coloured lithographs will show some outstanding views of the upcoming battle.

I hope it'll be worthy of a report! Last one was.
DeleteIs this a watercolour painting by any chance executed by a survivor of the battle?

Possibly but more likely that some journalist drew a sketch for the papers, and some young inspiring artist coloured it with watercolours.
DeleteAwesome! Great to see battles in "my" scale.
ReplyDeleteSanta left a box of Airfix Rebs in the early 70's and I've been playing with their figures since then despite the hordes of bigger metal guys. If my car seemed even vaguely safe for a 2,000 mile round trip I would have been heading to Huzzah! to see friends before my passport expires, regardless of politics etc.
