Hi all,
About 400,000,000 years ago I went into a shop here in San Diego CA, I was looking for some crazy dice for this new game called Dungeons & Dragons. The shop was a place that also sold military models and figures, I saw some of the models on display and I was absolutely 100% hooked. That day I didn't buy dice I bought a Matchbox 1/72 scale WW2 British SAS Pink Panther model with some glue and a little paint and that became a way of life for me for many years. I stopped building when I started having to work full time I haven't built any thing but some Flames of War stuff for a friend.
Oh I almost forgot my point, I'm looking to get back into modeling mainly military figs I like the 120mm stuff I have seen on the net, I know a bunch about modeling I think I have a lot of experience that would be helpful to anyone needing help.
What little stuff I had left from the old days was at a friends house and I lost it all in the ceder fire. It was mostly old series 77 figs, I see they still have a web site up but a lot of that stuff is unavailable I would like to replace it if I could, one day. I am dieing to paint something ASAP can any one recommend a store here in San Diego (I don't think there is any place left here) or a reliable website?
Any way, happy to be here I hope to attend a meeting soon.
BTW the shop was called The Command Post on Convoy Street, anyone remember?
