Rediscovered Hobby
When I was a lad, I spent a great deal of my time collecting and painting miniture soldiers. I had a Napoleonic and a Medieval army. Hours were invested in painting them. many more hours were spent engaged in “Little Wars”; battles in small scale using miniatures, dice, measuring tapes and a great deal of space in the basement. As I recall it was a great deal of fun.
This Christmas my Number One Son wanted to start his own collection. He and his friends are all hot for “War Hammer 40,000”; a battle game about battles with science fiction armies. The boy and I have been spending all week assembling and painting his force of “Necrons” (robots that look like skeletons). We are spending quality time, and I’m rediscovering an enjoyable boyhood hobby.
