Welcome

Introducing my collection of WWII 1/32 scale (54mm) soldiers, tanks & vehicles. The collection is steadily growing and the blog will be updated regularly, showing various sections of my collection. Squad based WWII war-gaming rules are currently in development. Along with these topics there will be regular discussions on several topics of the war including hero's and villains, armies & their weapons, battles, war-games and much more. Make sure to check the WWII Gallery Tab which is updated weekly, bringing this great war back to life. Don't hesitate to post & get in contact or sign up, and most of all, enjoy.
