Previous Years

Below is a list of other projects I do at various stages of completion, however I now class these as distractions.

10mm Texas War of Independence (TWI) Project


10mm World War I (WWI) Project Abandoned and sold

10mm Wings of War Project

I spent quite a considerable bit of time this year with this project, I would say one or two things needs finishing and it should be finished, if anything is ever finished in this game



This project was started as a very small distraction however it's actually turned into one of the highlights of the year a very good friend of mine Shaun has designed the set of Rules which we have thoroughly enjoyed playing
