And then there is the microwave to the left and the refrigerator to the right of my computer desk. Oh, I also have my a** planted in a great gaming chair, that has it's own little fridge, in case reaching for the regular one is toooo much work.

Never got around to clipping. I have War in the Pacific 2nd edition, I can only imagine how long that would take to clip those 9k counters(think its 9k). quote: ORIGINAL: parusski quote: ORIGINAL: Titanwarrior89 to play a game.

I gave this up years ago and went to Matrix computer games, I don't miss the wind though the widow gusts, along with the Cats, Dogs, and Kids. [;)]

Actually for me I am still a boardgamer at heart but do enjoy both. And buy both. Either way a great hobby. One enhances the other.

Well I haven't made a plastic kit for about 15-20 years but I saw that the Korean kit maker Academy do a 1:350th scale model of HMS Warspite. I've ordered this and just waiting for it to arrive. That should keep me occupied for a while [:)] [image]local://upfiles/28156/8441CF532E6F4DCAA3058397B6EC2AA3.jpg[/image]

I've been considering beginning building plastic kits again. I suspect it is great for relaxing.

Nice looking ship of the line. How long is that model?

Empire101 -> RE: The things grown men do.... (1/12/2013 4:10:31 PM)
Like Warspite I have'nt done any military modelling for over 30 years, so I was tempted to get the Yamato. But at �256 pounds for a 1/350th scale model, its a little out of my price range..[:(]

Maybe men do those things because from time to time they regress to a child again.

There is a 6' model of the Gustav railroad gun that is always on Ebay for a few thousand $s. If I hit the lottery it's mine.

Ive never really got into modeling but it does look interesting. Closest thing ive done to it, is the civilwar/roman minitures. Wow...been storming all day here, rain and lighting.

quote: ORIGINAL: parusski Well, I carefully clip the corners of ALL counters of my board games. I used to do that to my Star Fleet Battles counters. I remember once me and my opponent had a summer long campaign and we actually named each and every ship. It was hundreds, counting the carriers, space control ships, dreadnaughts, cruisers, destroyers, Fed express ships, frigates.......
