It is a great piece of modelling!<br /><br />David Crook is an old wargaming friend from way back in the 1980s, when we wargamed together in the basement of Eric Knowles’s s long-gone shop, ‘New Model Army’. We lost touch until a couple of years ago, but since we 'found' each other again, we have been communicating on a very regular basis ... and nicking ideas off each other!<br /><br />He and I are currently working on our own variants of MOBAS, and the ideas flow backwards and forwards thick and fast!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-30857122013403304182010-11-18T19:27:33.314+00:002010-11-18T19:27:33.314+00:00http://awargamingodyssey.blogspot.com/

Though I have not tried any of this with wood yet, I have dabbled with Styrofoam bits to make 1/2500 scale sail ships. Anyway, just wanted to praise the creativity and I hope to see some GMs running games with self made stuff at MAG-Con. www.mag-con.comUncleGreasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248652842433668840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66975374855713604142010-11-16T10:10:49.970+00:002010-11-16T10:10:49.970+00:00Dale,
