... I have managed to renovate a very small batch of Imperial French Infantry to add to my collection.

About Me
- Robert (Bob) Cordery
- I have been wargaming for as long as I can remember. One of the first toys that I was bought was a wooden fort that was garrisoned by assorted lead soldiers ... and I have never looked back! The first wargames book I bought was CHARGE! (although I had taken out [and repeatedly read] Donald Featherstone's WAR GAMES book beforehand [and many thanks to John Curry for republishing it!]). My first 20mm figures were the good old Airfix Guards Infantry and Band (in shocking pink!), soon followed by others as they were released, and by 1968, when I bought my first metal Hinton Hunt 20mm figures, I had a large collection of World War II figures, tanks, guns, and aircraft. I was a founder member of WARGAME DEVELOPMENTS and have been the treasurer and membership secretary ever since. I have also organised – along with Tim Gow - the annual conference (COW – Conference of Wargamers) for more that fifteen years. My main interests are wargaming any wars from 1850 onwards, although I have a special interest in Colonial, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II wargaming. I also have a special interest in wargames that use square or hex grids for movement and weapon ranges.
Bob,
ReplyDeleteVery impressive French figures and well renovated- certainly things are coming along well together for your Napoleonic Collection. Regards. KEV.
Kev,
DeleteI'm getting there slowly but surely ... and hope to start work on the next batch later today.
All the best,
Bob
They do look good when varnished and tidied up. How many pots of Humbrol 80 have you been through?

Bob Kett (Bob),
DeleteThanks for your kind comment.
I must have used at least five or six pots of Humbrol 80 so far ... and I have four 'in stock' waiting to be used,
All the best,
Bob
