Then came the usual break, girls, beer, cars, etc. etc. When I was 24 years old I came back to the hobby - that is now 20 years ago...
Today I sorted out some books which I wanted to sell on the fair and I found an old binder full of photos. Some of them gave me nostalgic thoughts how it was in all these years ago.
My father in law made me a table to play with the figures, which I put in my room.
See here the first little dioramas which I tried to create on it.
For example my first try on Polotzk 1812 with the figures available then. Mostly Esci, Airfix, the first HATs and several metals that were available in Germany these days.
Here my Russian Hussars converted from Revel SYW Prussians. The French Chasseurs some metals from Quality cast and SHQ, the rest conversions too.
The next I put on show I called something 1813 with Westphalians
Here the size of the plate - not really impressing...
Nostalgia ohh how I love it....
AntwortenLöschenNice pics my friend
They look great! I think most of had a hiatus from from the hobby for similar reasons. Good to see the nice 1/72nd figs so well painted and laid out.
AntwortenLöschenHi Uwe,
AntwortenLöschenI remember that table, too.
I also can remember how we both played in your children's room. I stll have the fight in mind when the US Marines had to conquer an island occupied by Japanese in the Pacific. Do you remember, too?
Cheers
Mike
