Member of the Team for historical Simulations

THS;r
The "THS - Team for historical simulations" is a small, group of wargamers simulating historical battles as well as fictional conflicts.
I joined the team in 2012 and since then I have the pleasure to share a lot of hobby time with these great fellows.

Fourth time participant of Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

Challenge;r
At the beginning of the year Curt from Analogue Hobbies organises a painting challenge for miniature painters. This year I had the great pleasure to participate again. Look here for Curt's site and standings.
