I can't believe a simple attic cleanup job was enough to reinvigorate an old passion, but it has. Only problem is I feel a little lost. Must be what Gulliver felt like, or old man Rip van Winkle. My interest are varied, including WW II, Cival War, American & French Revolutionary Wars, not to mention Ancients & D.&D. figures. Not overly keen on boats, or planes...but not afraid to try either. Feel my greatest strengths are in Figure Painting & idea generating. What I would like to know is Are there any really good shops in the Greater Cincinnati area, or websites that are particullarily suited for someone who needs a refresher course, so to speak. I have started rereading Shepard Paines " How to Build Dioramas" (circa 1982), and would be interested in picking up a couple of more current resource materials. Any and all help will be appreciated...sorry about the long post, its in my nature to be wordy. Huck!
