The Loose Association of Wargamers

Just waiting for this to arrive. It's the beginning omy collection of Early War literature that isn't electonic.

More topping up Vallejo for the German push.

I remember commenting on how many paints people end up with. All manner of shades there’ll barely touch... now I appear to have over 50 Vallejo’s.
What a wargames whore sellout junkie.

Just ordered half a dozen cheap 2nd hand MAAs on various shiny toy soldiery periods. FPW, Balkan Wars, Russo Turkish War etc. I have been piking my nose over the Irregular 42mm stuff for ages, just need to find some colourful uniforms to do.

I prefer the Irregular Cavalry to the STS ones.....although they do need a lot of tidying up!

There's a good book called Vanished Armies with uniform paintings or drawings made by AEHaswell Miller between 1907 and 1914 edited by John Mollo. It's maybe a little late for what you want but you might find it inspirational.

And then of course the Vinkhuijzen Collection

I think Irregular's 42mm range is much better than their ranges in other scales. I like the STS cavalry but they are slightly limited by the single body - although you can do wonders with a coat of paint

I thought it was a bottle-opener.
