Well I did … and I did get a surprise! Now that I have had more time to search through the pile of plastic storage boxes I had put in the garden shed some years ago, I have found loads of wargaming stuff that I thought that I had lost or had forgotten that I had.
What I had 'found' includes:
What I had 'found' includes:
- A boxful of ROCO Minitanks, some of which are painted but most of which are still in their original boxes.
- A boxful of made and unmade HO scale buildings.
- A boxful of unmade 1:72nd and 1:76th scale military vehicle kits.
- Two complete 15mm painted armies for the Chaco War (the figures are Peter Laing WWI figures organised into regiments of 20 figures).
- Two small 15mm painted nineteenth century ‘imagi-nation’ armies (again, these are all Peter Laing figures).
- A boxful of unmade 1:1200th scale plastic model ships.
- A boxful of various unmade plastic kits, including 1:400th scale models of the Russian battleship POTEMKIN and cruiser AURORA.
That must have been a bit of Howard Carter/Indiana Jones moment.......no strange curses on the shed is there?
ReplyDeleteOgrefencer,
ReplyDeleteFrom the amount of digging that I had to do to shift the earth so that I could open the door in the first place, it was more of a Percy Thrower moment (My God! That shows my age, doesn't it?).
I must admit that now I have begun to investigate what is in the shed (and I have only opened half the storage boxes so far), I am looking forward to finding out what other ‘lost’ items I will find.

Wow, quite a find indeed. May you find many more things thought lost!
