... and hello from me.

Sound like something out of the Two Ronnies  :lol: (why do I get the feeling I'm the only one who's going to understand that?  ;D )

Hi Dan - nice to meet you!  I love the Playmobil Knights (but have given in to temptation and branched out into all sorts of other themes!) - do you have a favourite theme?  Enjoy your time at the board!

From the top:

Yes Richard, I am the same Dan who is on GW-PC.

Yes Sir Gareth, I have your cat in a castle as my wallpaper.

I'm married with 2 grown up children and 2 demented cats.

Those who've read all this before on GW - PC can switch off now.

My interest in military history mainly, but not exclusively. Britain's and the British Empire.  However I've a fair collection of Confederate klickies, a lot of Vikings (& the ship which I got cheap in a closing down sale) and some Romans too.

I like to convert figures and I took up converting klickies because being bigger they're easier to paint and they are simply more "fun" than metal model soldiers!

Also, model soldier makers can take themselves very very seriously indeed at times (I may get expelled from the British Model Soldier Society for that).

Talking of societies, I'm also newsletter editor for a group of loonies called the Victorian Military Society (shameless plug for our website - www.vms.org.uk).

I have finished my first conversion (a Penninsular War rifleman) and I'm now starting on some knights - basically leaving the figures themselves alone but repainting the shields with "real" heraldry - and a medieval archer.  I'm also a member of the Heraldry Society but one website plug is enough.

I work very slowly and only when the fancy takes me so four converted figures a year would be a lot for me.

Finally, I adore De Warren's American War of Independence figures.

That should begin to satisfy everyone's curiousity a bit, Dan ... ;)

I know that you are a great fan of my friend David Hamer's (http://gardenwargaming.com/armies/dhamer/dhamer.html) (aka deWarren) custom Playmobil toy (aka model) soldiers, but are you also familiar with my other friend David?

(http://www.gardenwargaming.com/wargame/Images/majgen.gif) (http://zeitcom.com/majgen/)David Helber has a wonderful Victorian wargaming (http://zeitcom.com/majgen/) website.  In fact, it was David who inspired and helped me create Garden Wargaming (http://www.gardenwargaming.com) years ago ... :)

I'm very happy that you've joined PlaymoFriends, Dan!

All the best,
Richard

Our curiosity is satisfiable?? (um..not sure that's a word, but you get the idea!)

I know there's lots of people on here interested in the military history aspect, Dan, so you should have lots of fun  ;D

The Major General's site is indeed great fun, Dan!

David Helber much like David Hamer is a brilliant artist and converter with a contagious wit and charming sense of humour.

I have recommended the Major General's site, just for entertainment, to people who otherwise had absolutely no interest in wargaming or even things militaire ... :)

It would appear, Dan, that we have both travelled many of the same internet roads ... ;)

All the best,
Richard
