About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

    I am VERY impressed! They look stupendously good! - one problem is that the Japanese will not want to fight them and scratch that paintwork!!!!

    Blimey, Tamsin P.

    I reckon they must be some of nicest figures in your ever expanding collection.

    I'm struggling to get anything of note completed at present - all power to your elbow.

    @ Curt - thanks old bean! :)

    @ Swelter - cheers! :)

    @ Stuart - thanks! They do seem to work well together :)

    @ Geordie - cheers! :)

    @ James - thanks! I definitely put a lot of effort into these, possibly more than was warranted [I think it was 4+ levels of highlighting for (almost) every element - cripes!] :)

    An amazing and beautiful force; I wish I could focus on one force like you.

    And the huts, the huts are the best painted huts I've ever seen.
