G'day All,
            my name is Ian, and I hail from Victoria, Australia.

I purchased some Pendraken WW1 figures last year as a sample to see if I could paint them, being so much smaller than what I am used to, and didn't have too much problems with them, so now I hope to slowly put together an army for both sides of the Western Front to play the WW1 rules I downloaded here.

Setting up might be a slow process, as I have a limited budget, but I will post photos in the appropriate section when I have something to share.

Hi Ian, let me also say welcome to the forum.

I hope that, like me, you will enjoy the friendliness, wisdom, wit and frequent bouts of madness that characterise the place!

Hi ian

Welcome to the forum.  No madness here - Its just that we draw the line of sanity a little lower than most.

Hi, Ian, and welcome. I can't get over what a global village we've become.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

This is beginning to read like a meeting of AA with people saying Hi, my name is... and I'm a wargamer.  :)

So I'll just join the rest and say welcome.

Yours is only the second time I've come across the name Shelldrake. The other was one of my English teachers from school in Southend.
