The temporary hobby home



I've posted lots of pictures of the future wargames rooms so I thought I'd share pictures of the temporary camp. There is no board(s) until the new rooms are done and my existing boards are not in the photos as they are split between my Mum's and an unused toilet not in shot. 

The lead/plastic pile 1. Although 1 shelf is the X wing collection.

Terrain and planes. To be honest mainly houses and trees.

The cardboard boxes hold more lead/plastic horde.


The painted forces ready to roll and conquer wherever they are needed! The irregular pattern formed by my uncontrollable urge to sort them by period and armies. 1st row on the right is Scifi, Pulp and post apocalypse. 2nd row against the wall from left to right  hold 20mm Korean War and WW2 , 25mm Sudan, 20mm Zulu War, 25mm Plains Indian Wars, 25mm Maximilian Adventure, 25mm Cowboys, 25mm Franco Prussian war, 15mm ACW, ACW River wars, 25mm Crimean War ( the start of a collection anyway), 25mm Napoleonic wars, 25mm AWI, 25mm French Indian Wars, 25mm 1745 Jacobite rebellion, 25mm 7 Years War,  25mm ECW, 15mm ECW, 25mm 17th Century Poles and Turks, 25mm WOR,  the start of 25mm French Italian wars armies, 25mm English Scots wars, 25mm Crusades, 25mm Norman conquest, 25mm Saxons, 25mm Vikings, 25mm mid and early Byzantines, 25mm early Ottomans, 25mm Late Romans, 25mm Imperial Romans, 25mm Republican Romans, 25mm Waring states Chinese, 25mm Celts, 25mm Alexandrian/Successor Greeks, 25mm Peloponnesian war Greeks, 25mm Classical Greeks, 25mm Hittites, 25mm Sea Peoples, 25mm Egyptians, 25mm Bronze Age European, 25mm Fantasy. Of course some of the 25mm is 28mm or larger. Hopefully I've remembered them all. I inherited quite a few of these and shockingly as a result there are a few I've never played with. My aim is to solve that first world wargaming issue!

  3. Stunning stuff Grigork... so many boxes to choose from once you get settled... or are you going to wait until they completely blot out the wall ;-)

    1. I like the idea of blotting out the wall but I'm not sure the floor will.

    1. Structural survey planned for the permanent home which is the floor above. Hopefully the temporary home floor will last till I get them up there.
