Hello, new member on here, but have been an avid reader of the posts for a long time.
Got into 1/6 modelling (yes, it's modelling) about three years ago as a result of a very deep interest in WWII and in particular the North African campaign. I already did 1/48 scale armour modelling and it was an interesting challenge to get into a new scale. I don't work fast, hence why my collection is rather small. I usually get very excited about a project, race ahead with it and then run out of steam because I can't be bothered to tie up a pair of shoelaces or something.
I'm 36 years old, live in a small village in the south of England, but I'm orginally from Sweden. I have a long-suffering partner who is very good at letting me disappear into my modelling hut/office in the evenings, a two-year old boy who's now discovered how many fun things daddy has out in his office, and another child on the way (so don't expect my modelling output to rise over the next 20 odd years...). I also collect WWII medals and am a member of the Orders And Medals Research Society, and Star Wars figures. "World Wars and Star Wars, models and medals" kind of sums it up really.
My dream would be to start up a company doing 1/6 scale British figures from all eras, from pre-Victorian to the Falklands. If I ever win the Lottery, you'll soon hear about it.
