Battalion Commander
Hello all,
I have been a member of SAG for awhile,I just kept putting off doing this as I do not like talking about myself much.
Okay,let's see. I have been collecting 1/6th figures since 2000. I started with 21st Century and had about 10 of them when I discovered Dragon and that was that. I have about 300 figures now 1-21st figure 3-BBi the rest are DML figures,boxed and kit-bashed.
My motor pool includes 2-Schimmwagons 3-Ketts 1-motorcycle 4-motorcycles with side cars 3-Kubels and my pride and joy 1-Panther.
I collect German mostly but have recently branched out to British Airborne figures of which I have 6 now.
I guess the reason I collect Germans is because when I was a kid all I heard from other kids when it was found out that I was of German decent was that I was evil because "everybody knew" German were evil.
Well,I did not feel evil but it made me interested in the German army and I started to collect German models when I was around 6.
I guess 1/6th collecting is an extention of that.
WWII was my families Civil War (other wise known as the War Of Northern Aggression" LOL!
I had at least one Great Uncle who was in a gebirgsjager division,I do not know which. My father would not speak of him,I onlt learned of him when my Dad let it slip and then clammed up. I do not even know my Uncles name,but that explains my interest in the gebirgsjager units.
Well,thats about all I can think of as an intro. I do want to say that I have really enjoyed my time here on SAG and have enjoyed talking to the other members and learning so much.
Thank you all.
