Greetings from Cape Town South Africa

[Gwaed y Ddraig]

Hi Mark here from Cape Town. My forum handle Gwaed y Ddraig refers to my Welsh ancestry. I have been messing around in the Warhammer world for about three or four years now, but never lost my love for Napoleonics as my father many years ago built all the Airfix 54mm Napoleonic range. I was a regular reader of Military Modelling and spent many hours poring over Shep Paine's works of art. I have managed to get my hands on a number of Verlinden miniatures, and decided it is time to get a little more serious over my historical miniatures.

Welcome to pf, especially to a fellow Napoleonic fan. I went to south Africa on business for a week about 11 years ago...It was paradise for a lover of nature.

Great welcome
You live in a wonderfull country, I remember visiting it with my family in 1964 by car, from Congo through Rhodesia ( Victoria Falls, Wanki parc ) Transvaal, Cape Town, the coast to Durban, Krueger and back to Congo, a 6 weeks trip ( I was 16 years old at the time )
