My love of 1/72 scale plastic figures began by watching my older cousins paint and play with their Airfix HO
scale toy soldiers. I guess that combined with the stirring war/western movies of the day and comics like Battle,
Warlord and Commando meant an interest in toy soldiers was almost inevitable.
My first box of figures were Matchbox WW2 Germans. Now I guess I have almost 50,000 painted 1/72 scale figures.
Most of my soldiers are back in New Zealand so the bulk of this site is devoted to the figures I have with me in Japan
or items I have acquired via the internet while in Asia.
My three favourite eras are Ancients, Napoleonics and WW2. Ironically, you won't find a lot with respect to these eras
on this site for some time as these armies were virtually completed before leaving NZ. As a result there will only
be pics of the odd lots I have recently acquired to bulk up, or add a specialised unit to, my existing armies.
Despite being a confirmed 20mm plastics man, you will see that I have "dabbled in the dark side" of 25/28mm for sci-fi
and fantasy categories where no 20mm figures exist. I apologise for this!! Hahahaha.......
The site will easily triple in size when I return home!!
