I have the hardback of that somewhere. A lot of subsequent research has dated it somewhat, but still nice to look at.

Purps shared this pic with me this morning. It’s all he has left unpainted. I told him he’s not a proper Wargamer
Re: What are people buying?
Lol! I’m on it!
That’s my leadpile and also my box of shame. The figures that need repainting or I just gave up on half way through.
That’s all that’s left folks

Re: What are people buying?
That's just disturbing, you know what happens when you paint your last figure?
No?
That's right, no-one knows, because no-one has risked it; or if they have, they haven't come back to tell the tale. Don't risk it.
I spent most of the morning procrastinating, err re-organising the contents of the shed. Unfortunately, this also revealed a lawnmower. Bugger... but I continue t be amazed by the sheer range and variety of stuff that at one stage I obviously thought was indispensable. Everything from 15mm WW1 German artillery crew, through 1/1200 ACW ironclads, to 6mm Romans and a half built wooden kit of an AWI sloop.
And that's without even opening up the boxes to discover renaissance galleys, 1/48 Porco Rosso planes, let alone the terrain making stuff, and the endless plastic sprues.
Not a bad achievement in only four years.

Let's face it; not a real wargamer (NARW), just some dilettante with a tricorne fetish.

I’m the sick one but Jeremy has at first guess around 500 plastics to assemble.
