Hi folks,

Now I'm retired I've gotten rid of all my work paraphernalia8)  and sorted out shelves etc .

So now the team are along one wall in the good old Ikea Billy book case .

the alcove that was my "business area" now houses the Dragonian and Volgan forces  1/12 and 1/18th /Modelling and storage.

They actually have plenty of room  Rolling Eyes ..so I may pinch some of this for "Other non VAM figures" you can see on the other shelves. cheers

Here is the command centre lol!

Gunner it’s apparently brilliant to see you back posting once again. It’s brilliantly evil seeing all the Dragonian/Volgan forces standing in a Ikea Billy book case. Wow you’re pencil artwork is incredible. Very good luck on restarting your venture into painting and pencil drawing once again. The important thing is that your quite enjoying it. Even more importantly your still interested in the AM and other figures hobby Wink. Hopefully we’ll be seeing you posting more often on the forum.

Congratulations on your retirement! Looks like you are wasting no time settling in to a new lifestyle!

Love the entire space - the collections, the storage and display shelves, the Command Centre, and in particular the art nook,

Welcome to retirement! Although you will find you now have "less" time than you did before! (Not sure how that works, but it does.)
A truly impressive collection both in size and quality.
Art sketches are great too and the painting already shows great promise.
Thanks for showing it all.
You have certainly inspired me to once again take up the brush!

Thanks guys,

I think I have finally got the right space to do things .. even the garage is sorted !! lol!

Steve will be pleased to know I'm thinning out the MAM side of my collection cheers .( No Steve, not straight to the council tip lol! )

Will put my bits and bobs up on the for sale thread .

Thanks for all the kind comments about the drawing /painting. I'm really enjoying it. Very Happy

I think my next VAM venture is to revisit some dodgy re-strings I did bck in 2016 when the bug really bit me. Too impatient lol! lol!

Cheers Gunner.

Superb stuff Steve. Really impressed by your artistic skills. Your linear drawing is particularly good.
I have painted on and off through life myself. I studied Fine Art before jacking it in for History.

Great layout of the HQ too. Love the Billy Bookcases myself. Sadly, mine just have books in Sad
Really good to see you back with some new posts. cheers cheers cheers

Hi Kev,
Great to hear from you Very Happy Sorry I've been away so long Neutral
On the art front, I've got to get some basic skills going.I reckon its a bit like taking up golf late in life. It pays to have some basic lessons before too many bad habits kick in lol! You painting at the mo?
Anyway onto more important topics..How is Spud and his gang doing?
Take care
