My name is Carlos Hernández-Canut. I am Spanish and live in Madrid. I am happily married (37+ years together since I met her) with a wonderful and comprehensive Lady, Lydia, that tolerates my Hobby and we have 2 extraordinary Children, Juan and Alejandra. I am a semi retired banking lawyer. For almost 30 years I was Partner in an international Law Firm. I have been collecting (lead/metal) Toy Soldiers for near all my conscious life (I am 60) but with particular fruition during the last 25 years. I must say that I am not too able in technology (i.e. how to pass photos from my cell to the pc or how to post them, etc) but I´ll do my best! I also run an Instagram Account (@toysoldaddiction ) where I show pieces of my collection and eventually my Friends´s (IG is easy as you upload photos and videos from the cell directly). Everyone is welcomed to visit it. Unfortunately, my collection so far is still in their boxes but I am rehabilitating a building in a country property that we (my Wife and I) own near Madrid which hopefully soon will allow me to exhibit it.
I have been a regular visitor of your Forum and want to thank you for all the info and inspiration found in it. Please let me know if you need more details about me or my collection. Kind regards,
Carlos
