NELSON'S WARGAMES ROOM

About 150 yards from where I live, lies Nelson's wargames room. I think it is one of the nicest gaming rooms I have ever been in. His passion is primarily for colonials, but he has some other cracking collections as well. At the moment he is working on a 28mm Rorke's Drift. There is a certain "gentleman's club" feel about Nelson's room which inclines the gamer to want to sit down for the cheese and port at regular intervals.
The exercise bike is clearly there as some kind of ruse of war or to put POWs though grotesque torments, long since banned by the Geneva Conventions.

Nelson is a cracking modeller as this Helm's Deep model, which has four other wall sections, clearly demonstrates. He built this from scratch in a week, using compnents from the Games Workshop HD model and fortress.

 We intend to have a large scale LotRs bash at some point, plus several colonial wars, Boxer Rebellion, Sudan, Zulu Wars and so forth. On the painting area are some more LotRs figures, I think, but the remaining two regiments of Black Tree zulus are in a box nearby waiting for the finishing touches.

The best thing about the collections he has are that he actually completes them - unlike most of my projects! In the past Nelson handmade two pirate ships when will soon set sail for darkest Peru and start off a Ripping Yarn in the deepest jungles.

 Together we make up the UB40 Wargames Club, the "Unphotogenic Basterds" - if it's okay for Quentin, it's okay for me, both of whom are well past the other side of 40 years of age. We will therefore not be appearing in any photographs.
