Why Men Cry.............

..................when they drop 5 file boxes full of figures!

That's when!!

As I'm painting up some Moors for Tangiers I thought I'd have a look in my shed 

to find my EL Cid/Moor collection, just to see what I actually have. (They've not seen

the light of day for some time??)

I was quite surprised to find 7 file boxes full to the brim with figures, all from my WAB days long ago. There were even  some painted by Fran, that I'd forgotten I even bought?? 

While some of the other

figures need to go on ebay fast, they were painted in my early wargaming days with what

 looks like a 4 inch brush and a tin of Dulux!

But........while sorting through the 6th box I knocked the bloody lot off my desk.......

%$£*(&@^$£"!!!!!

I cannot type what I said

but I think you can probably guess.

I looked down at the mess on the floor and could of cried!

When I'd recovered from the shock and the mourning set in, (which was around 2 hours)

I tried to put them back in their boxes , it took me well over an hour to put all the figures minus spears, shield's, swords and Christ knows what else, back in their boxes!

Now I gotta admit, some looked a hell of a lot better all smashed and broke.

But to say I'm gutted doesn't quite cut it!

But on the bright side, I've ripped up my Gripping Beast shopping list for SELWG next Sunday.

Anyone else going??
