  1. #1

    Default I Have Fallen......................

    I have fallen - after nearly two years stalwart resistance, I have finally succumbed to the Dark Side; I maintain that it is all Brambo's fault!

    Ebay, mostly - plus a few passed to me by gaming friends who no longer want them (they still play in my games, but concentrate on other projects of their own).
    One Bf109 thanks to Hedeby, which he found on a Bring and Buy.

    I messed up!
    I bought 8 Russian ones from Miniature Market in their Thanksgiving sale, at $4 each, intending to repaint them as Battle of Britain ones; when they arrived, I discovered they were Hurricane MkIIs, not MkIs; they had the wrong stats on the bases.
    So a month or so ago I bought a half dozen Belgian ones from Ludikbazaar, at a RIDICULOUS price (Eu 2.40!) to replace the Russians.
    Then a friend gave me a pair of Baders, to add to the 2 I already had.........................

    1. I am impressed Tim.
    2. I am totally impressed, oh man!
    3. You did the right thing, I am sure.
    4. You won't regret any cent spent on the system.
    5. For I think WGS is a better half of the system.
    6. For me think we both will have a great time ar Donnie playing WGS scenarios

    Oh my. That is quite a fall! I tried to resist also but am knee deep in WGS now. Now at conventions I have to run WGF and WGS!

    I thought I did well to get a delux set recently at a convention bring and buy. I had never even seen one before, but you have 3!!!

    All I can say is fantastic.

  16. #16

    Default

    All three bought on ebay.
    One was listed mis-spelt, so only two of us saw it and put in bids!
    A fourth one slipped through my fingers last month (bidding just went too high).

    A major reason for giving in to the Dark Side was the prospect of upcoming WGS-only conventions

    Tim that is an amazing collection is such a short time, well done

    You won't regret getting into WGS...except now you'll be wanting to paint twice as many planes!

    I can't hear you.

    I don't do table top gaming any more, and I've never painted models.

    This biplane thing is just a blip; I have it completely under control.
