I was going to ask you how you put all this together, but am now more interested in you being 47 and only 20% of your life being over. How do you do it? Please share!

In the new year,
the Plastic General is going to do a weekly U YouTube video series focusing on 1:32 WWII.
I wanna share my ideas with other collectors who want to expand their collections beyond the limits of their favourite manufacturers.

Funny just read this post 5 minutes after a photo shoot of a castle where I used a Blue bed sheet as background due the height of the castle. Just could not justify the expense this time for a large sky back board. Robin.

Very well done,,,I did a 32 ironclad scaled up from a colonial wargame site,,,enjoyable in the scale,,

 

[Plastic General]

Building an IRONCLAD in 1:32 would be FUN!
If anyone wants one, I'll do it for trade!

Some of the Colonial gaming sites have a great selection of really classic small boats suitable,,
