A new approach is in the oven… the field of wargaming with Toy Soldiers, be that Old School 54MM, modern 6MM (modern does not mean the period at all mind), or Playmobils in 75MM… is I guess not overdone yet (maybe because we are very few around with that interest).

Whatever.

Once a couple of items out of my painting desk (only one remains now!)… I am going to try to do that, collecting NOT the objective at all… subscribe to “Scott’s Toy Soldiers” already on YouTube and be delighted and keep collecting… of course you will see MY Toy Soldiers in the videos… but my intention is not to explore how “Collecting” goes… very personal and up to you… BUT

How to get FUN once you have some Toy Soldiers?

Planning to explain my very personal experiences with them, no rules especific in mind (at all), but maybe with a little help of my grandsons I can produce something that does not bore to tears the passers by that stumbles upon them.

Will edit when more details available.

You must be a bit patient… not so easy to do the first one!

In the meantime… have for free… (and maybe sound)… an advice for your collecting if getting into your old age… it is my new policy!

Are your collection complete? (they never are)

Are you stressing because Mail does NOT arrive? (Usually gets late… or so it seems to me)

That parcel does not come at all?

SOLUTION (Brilliant!)

From now on do your orders “self-contained and unnecessary no matter if they arrive or no…) Meaning your collections are complete but if you want to add something do it in a “have or have not does not matter” attitude. NO stress involved… be that 6mm, bespoke 54mm casts, traditional painted gloss soldiers, spare parts for customizing Playmobils (including stickers!)… whatever… You pay for them and forget about… maybe one day they will come… if not it does not matter… if yes EUREKA!

Sound advice for old collectors… never do an order that will implie another order later on… either you do it FULL the first time… or not at all… no time for half measures…

You are welcome!

Cheers!
