'Toy Story' from JP - One of my earliest passions!

Back in 1965, Edmonton, Canada, when I was 6, my parents decided that the best way to nourish my english reading skills was with Classics Illustrated. I received these on every opportunity imaginable. One of the first, and I still have it, was:

 That's a scan of my copy, I'm rather attached to it. My love of mythology, ancients and fantasy, started here. At the same time, I came across this ad in comic books:

I immedeiately wanted a set (and the other ACW, AWI and WW2 sets too). Father had been buying me Britains and  Minot 54mms, so he was a bit taken aback by his son wanting cheap american 20mm plastics... Still, he got me a set. When the Greek set came out... well, Trojan Wars it was. Airfix was still two years away for me ...

I remain fascinated by Bronze Age warfare and it was a short hop in 1968 to the Hobbit and then Dark Ages Britain. I have raised multiple bronze age armies in 15mm, in the heady days of WRG and sold them all... rather stupidly. 

About 20 years ago, I started collecting Foundy and Redoubt Trojan War figures, quickly settling on the former as they were a bit more delicate. I lack opponents for the era, but I keep coming back to the collection, working away at it. The advent of Midgard rules has stoked the ageing flames.

I thought I'd 'dash off' some skirmishers and their bosses, just enough to see if I could still do it. Being rather slow with the brush, it's a good thing I'm retired and that my better half is busy with the financial closure of the firm she works for! 

So, here it is: 4 Mycenean warriors, 4 slingers and 4 javelinmen.
