I have also been giving collections away, complete or otherwise.<br /><br />The next real challenge is sell collections which are financially worth the hassle. I'll be slow and careful on that one.<br /><br />I am off to a show tomorrow with nothing on my shopping list.<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-85950886095944876152013-11-08T17:04:26.245+00:002013-11-08T17:04:26.245+00:00Good to hear it.

My good lady likes the warmth.<br /><br />Belmont seems to be a real small place according to Google Maps although lots of room for a well insulated and heated hut. My hut is very well insulated, double glazed, frost protected, heated and ventilated. I've never had a condensation or a mould problem inside it.<br /><br />I hand painted my tabletop. I used standard household paint, a mid green basecoat with a light stipple of lighter green and a tan colour using a large bristled brush such as those for painting garden walls. I finished it off with a matt acrylic varnish.<br /><br />I usually check your Game of the Month blog quite regularly.<br /><br /> Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-52782647193674641962013-10-04T11:50:01.171+00:002013-10-04T11:50:01.171+00:00Looks great!

I did eye the old garage at our place but its just galvanized tin on a frame and once the weather dips below zero its not an attractive place for storage let alone playing games.<br /><br />Did I ever mention how much I like the mottled look of your table?Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-24971179122461629162013-10-04T10:11:47.726+00:002013-10-04T10:11:47.726+00:00I still have two daughters at home so no chance fo...I still have two daughters at home so no chance for me there besides what can you really do with a small bedroom or two.<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-7290825122709803972013-10-04T00:30:35.100+00:002013-10-04T00:30:35.100+00:00Great looking games shad, I have just had my Daugh...Great looking games shad, I have just had my Daughter leave home and have eyes on her old room as my wargames den.
