You can't see how tiny they are in the picture. They're each about 1cm high. The detail is amazing and Dave's very good at painting them. I'll take a photograph of them and post it when he's finished. Maybe I'll take some photos of his othe rarmies as well. The detail is amazing. Tiny tanks, guns etc. All exact in every detail.

There are quite a lot of war gamers around. Quite a few young kids too. They use Warhammer figures, Star Wars figures, etc.

lol, thanks. This poem is about Dave. He was in the army for 15 years.

He does war gaming and he's painting an army of the little teddy bears in the picture. I don't know what I'll do with them, but they're very cute.

Ahh yes, men today, a confused or confusing, depending on where you sit, mix of aggression and aggressive behaviors combined with the gentleness of modern man as he is becoming, with all the inconsistencies that go with it.

Good stuff kid
