G'day from Bottlesoldier (1 Viewer)

[Bottlesoldier]

G'day, I am new to this forum thingy, and just want to introduce myself. My name is John, I live in Newcastle, NSW Australia. My interest is in collecting painting and sculpting 54MM toy soldiers and model figurines single or diorama sets. I also biuld a line of something called "Battles in Bottles". This is the biulding of military battle scenes using 15mm wargame tanks, artillery and soldiers to formulate a scene of military action. The bottles are varied in size, and the scenes are from anywhere in history but mainly Napoleonic, CW, WW1 or WW2.I look forward to being involved with you guys. Cheers, John.
