Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

Paintball Sunday!!!

Good day and good week my dear friends!

A busy weekend, the last was, in terms of housekeeping , social interactions and PAINTBALL games!
Yesterday (Sunday), I dug out my military equipment (from my service), dressed up, and became an actual toy soldier, only a bit taller though! :-)

I was going to participate in a game that takes place once a year in Greece, where people from many countries come to fight each other (does it ring any bell in terms of European/world history?) a series of DDay scenarios (beach landing, hill occupation, village clearing etc..). As you probably have understood, this event lasted all day and when it was finished, most of the participants, icluding me, were exhausted and very very dirty (I have to rething my painting approach towards my little men - they probably would be filthy while fighting for days, as it was usually the case....).

Soaked in sweat, filthy from dirt and multicoloured -as a rainbow- from hits (I got hit several times, but I managed to take out two 'Germans'), I decided to do it again when the chance is given!

My only suggestion if you decide to try it - have plenty of water guys... you can get thirsty really easily! :-)





Have a great day!

  6. I did one of these for an entire weekend up in the mountains years ago. It was great as we also went repelling had to go hand over hand over a rather large chasm. Three hour hike just to get to the top. I was the only woman there and I was the only one of the lot that knew how to cook over an open fire. I was quite popular, but only for the cooking!!

    1. I was popular as a runner, so as to attract all the fire! :-)
