Hi everybody!
This is Ed, I am from Spain and I live in Madrid. After a lot of time lurking the forum (it's a great place for inspiration and ideas) I have decided to share and participate.
I am 44 years old, married with two small daughters, so in recent times my free time to be spent in miniatures is very, very little
It all begun when my brother and me were children and we used to buy cheap Airfix toy copies, as many other spanish hobby mates will sure remember.
They were basically rough copies inside an envelop (with nice art work), and with no much historical accuraccy because Airfix range was used for all nations and conflicts, but they provided countless hours of fun and playing on the carpet.
If curious, you can see many pictures of them here:

I am also a little bit in several things: games, RPG, wargames, models and also 28mm, 10mm and 6mm scale figures.
And that's all in a nutshell! I will post some pics of games and miniatures as soon as I can.
Take care
Ed
