Although there was a delay [expected] in exchanging contracts,I am moving in late October.However dismantling my room is very daunting,where did all this stuff come from. I seem to have hoarded various pieces of polystyrene,cardboard,old paint,sand and scatter flock ad infinitum.
I am not certain when I decided that BLUE flock was necessary,but I have found a bag of it,why I have it is anyones guess.I have moved 80+ terrain boards to my temporart home,but still have another 20 to shift.Remarkably they seem in very good condition,barring the odd chip.Having seen them it makes me doubly keen to build a new room and finally see all my wargaming ideas come to fruition.
I have just purchased a decent number of Dixon SYW prussians from E bay at a very decent price. They are nice figures,and will do perfectly for a minor German contingent. My metal mountain has however grown to Ben Nevis proportions and as soon as I settle down again I must crack on with the backlog. I have also got hold of a couple of the new Jackdaw French dragoons, so another unit will have to be bought just in case there is a meteorite that hits Old Glory HQ and wipes out there production.
Think positively . . . imagine being able to use ALL of those terrain boards at once on a single table top.
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe that's a bit much . . . but let thoughts of a nice big table (with good lighting and lots of storage) calm your tensions, sir.

I feel your pain, having had to clear out a great deal of material from my workshed when I emigrated. As Jeff wisely says, the prospect of the new room should be wonderfully soothing. ;)
ReplyDeleteRobbie it will all be sorted just go with the flow man... Chill Dude stay loose until some pillock of a removal man drops a chair on the pretty stuff or worse breaks the wine cellar!!!
