I have always been fascinated by this conflict and have an extensive collection of books on the subject back in NZ. I
have acquired a couple more since being in Japan.
I had long planned armies using Airfix WW1 Brits (for Japanese) and HaT WWI Russians and I recently asked my friends
Kyle Tompkins and Annie Miller-Tompkins to paint me up some.
Kyle and Annie are great folks and professional figure painters. If you want some figures painted you can contact them
