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.
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteI've had a long time interest in The Boxer Rebellion- probably after viewing '55 Days at Peking' movie staring Charlton Heston, David Niven and Ava Gardner. The Diorama is a beaut...I may be wrong -though some of the figures look to be made by 'Tradition'. Thanks for posting. Regards. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
Delete55 DAYS AT PEKING also inspired my interest in the Boxer Rebellion, and seeing these figures has revived it.
All the best,
Bob
OK so I need to own a museum to house my collection .. not one as big as this though!

ReplyDeleteMike Blake,
DeleteThe whole museum is wonderful, and my photos only cover a tiny part of what’s on display.
All the best,
