A Fixture
I think a common timeline applies to many of us...
The boxes of plastic armymen that I played with and the Britain's and various lead soldiers my Grandmaother gave me, fostered an interest in military history. Then a progression to plastic model kits, especially once I found the Airfix Napoleonics and a budding figure painter was born. I painted uncountable 28mm and my share of GW figs and in the last couple of years I came upon this wealth of 54 and 75mm figs.
I guess what I'm getting at, "toy soldiers" are probably the root of most of the figure painters here and there is no reason the two branches of the same hobby can't co-exist in the same space.
Or I'm blowing hot air outta my ass
