peever1745 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I don't actually play the wargaming rules .I started painting the models years ago as it helped calm me down a bit.When I get stresses or angry I go to my model room and paint a few figures.I had a spare room so I decided to make a small diorama of the Battle of Gettysburg but got a bit carries away and now its now 6ft x 4ft in size with over 700 figures.This is more than a toy and its cost a few quid to make. As you can see the cotton wool is cannon fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My dad has a two level model railway in his attic, with about 4 stations. It looks amazing and he has been modelling trains for 50 years or so. He also has an ebay business thing buying and selling train items.

I have searched for ages without any success. I heard a piercing whimper from our back garden last weekend and thought the daft dog had ran in to the fence again chasing a cat. When I looked out however I saw my greyhound’s legs shaking more than they usually do whilst taking a sh!t, nose pointed to the sky pure howling much like the noises that emanate from my lesbian neighbours’ window in the summer holidays when their kids are away. As she hobbled off like the boy from Bristol/Bath had sorted her out good and proper I went to make the obligatory inspection of the stool fully expecting to find a hedgehog, disposable razor and her kidney in a sauce of her own blood and effluent. I was somewhat taken aback though when I found Lego Yoda perched happily atop her sweetcorn laced jobby. I’ve cleaned him up good and proper but can’t bring myself to give it back to its original owner who I suspect is my nephew as he absolutely loves chewing plastic. I’m not that fond of him to be honest and would p!ss myself inside if I gave it him back and he stuck it straight in his mouth with his usual glaikit look - problem is he’s partial to kissing his aunty, and so am I obviously, but there’s no way I’d want to kiss her after she’s kissed someone who has been sucking on something straight out of a greyhounds arse plus I really can’t stand sweetcorn. Therefore as a stopgap he is yours for free and, although not ideal granted, if you actually entered in to a fully-fledged strategy match I can confirm he’s proper game as f***; despite his hazardous journey into my possession he came out still grasping his lightsaber.
