This isn't the first blog I've written. I had one on the World War 1 Centenary and another on my modelling hobby but they were Wordpress ones that eventually burnt out over the course of a year or so. This blog is to resurrect the latter blog (Also called "From the Command Bunker") and to stick with it this time!
This blog will cover all of my hobby's projects and activities, as well as matters of military history, which is my main passion in life. I predominantly collect 1/72 scale figures and vehicles, 1/144 scale planes and helicopters (larger ones take up far too much room!) and 1/600 or 1/700 scale warships.
The main periods I tend to cover are the 2 World Wars and 19th Century Colonial conflicts, though I am now starting to expand into Napoloeonic, 1700s, English Civil War and Medieval periods, as I get easily distracted! As a result, I have a massive project list and lots of plastic boxes filled with figures, guns and accessories. Plastic? I feel like I'm drowning in the stuff at times, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
I started making and painting and collecting classic Airfix 1/72 WW2 planes at the age of 10, delved into Warhammer 40k in my early to mid teens (so expensive, and thereby unpopular with the parents!), took a break and then got back into modelling by making tanks and ships as I was studying at Exeter, back in 2006. Now I'm in my late 20s I've come to the conclusion that I will always have this as my main hobby!
I am going to try to maintain regular activity on this blog - the last one died when I relocated from Kent to Bristol - and will try to post about both my current and finished projects. May this be the first of many posts! Hope you enjoy reading it!
