I want to share a few pictures with you of some of William's WWII collection. He's our second grandson, you've probably seen him in the occasional picture in GHQ over the last 11 years. He's always enjoyed being in the gaming room and playing with grandad's toy soldiers, but in the last year or so he's moved on to making and painting aircraft, tanks and troops under the Bolt Action umbrella. I'd like to show you some of his work, remember he's only 11 so don't judge the odd error too harshly, our wonderful hobby needs the next generation of wargamers ~
British Paras using Warlord Games Bolt Action figures.
Two Russian infantrymen in a bleak winter setting. I liked the understated white on their helmets.
German Fallskrimjägers, the "bad guys" as a younger William would have said.
Sherman Firefly tank.
German Panther. A very decent go at the camouflaged I thought.
A Sherman Easy Eight, like the others from Warlord Games Bolt Action stable.
Airfix Spitfire with D Day markings. I think he has nine different marks of Spitfire altogether!
Airfix Stuka dive bomber!
Airfix ME109. I hope you can find something you have liked and can say a few encouraging words for William. He was fully immersed in yesterday's WWII game in GHQ and is already looking forward to a game at Phil's next week. In the meantime he and his two friends are playing another game today.
