Title: Hello All
Post by: Hussar Richard on July 22, 2015, 09:21:04 AM
Hello,

My name is Richard. I collect 30mm Flats. I'm espacially interested by the period of the Napoleonic Wars as well as the Franco-German War of 1870-1871.

My first introduction to Flats was when I saw the work of Mr. Sokruto. A real "Gentleman" and a great painter of tin soldiers.

I'm looking to expand my collection of Flats through the subjects I have stated.

I'm very glad to join this group.

Best,

Richard

Welcome Richard,


You should find plenty to interest you in your field of interest here as well as some sometimes helpful conversation - though it is always inspiring.

Hello Richard,  Napoleonic Wars and the Franco-German War of 1870-1871 there are thousands of sets but don't stop there as it's a big world out there and flats cover most of it.

But just to get you started

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for your kind welcome.

I will ask some questions regarding Editors for sure. I have two or three projects regarding the Russian Campaign of 1812.
