I have a number of hazy recollections from many moons ago, inc. this one, the work I did figure-painting for some company in (I think?) Wisbech - a town I now live very nearby - and a trip to the suburbs of London to buy some Battle Honours figures. It'd be fab if someone could help me by identifying these mysterious companies/places!

Funnily enough, at the time of posting my belated reply I'm putting a floor down in our loft, so as to create some much needed storage space. I must make sure that my old mags don't disappear into this new 'black hole'!

Probably around 1976. Have no idea of the address or name but it was within walking distance of the IWM and south of the river. I think I bought Boney, Ney and Wellington there which turned out to be massive chunky figures next to my Airfix Naps :-(nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515676111354157450.post-59040428332085981112014-07-21T07:33:23.387+01:002014-07-21T07:33:23.387+01:00I often have a trip up in the loft and dig out a h...I often have a trip up in the loft and dig out a handful of my old copies of wargame mags, most of the articles beat the mags of today tenfold!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515676111354157450.post-79213182191798935152014-07-20T16:38:10.684+01:002014-07-20T16:38:10.684+01:00Hi Jim

And yes, blogging is a wonderful new development, from which I'm already benefitting massively.<br /><br />I'll definitely check out your blog as well, so thanks for the link. I hope you'll check out more of mine too.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />SebSeb Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825706166433888211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515676111354157450.post-56452743920878405242014-07-20T16:24:38.295+01:002014-07-20T16:24:38.295+01:00Welcome back to wargaming, whatever that really me...Welcome back to wargaming, whatever that really means to yourself.<br /><br />More importantly get some figures on the tabletop and start playing, solo if you have to. Make sure you blog what you are up to. Blogging is the biggest individual change to the hobby in the last twenty years or so, more so more recently.<br /><br />Have a look at mine if you need inspiration/distraction!<br /><br />http://jim-duncan.blogspot.co.uk/<br /><br />It will lead to more.<br /><br />Jim<br /><br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.com
