Small Scale Military Headquarters

dont know if i am violating web rules here but this is how we got started collecting. We dont have a lot of money and woking 90 hour weeks but we collected this over 7 years. I picked up a small papo castle in a garage sale for the kids and over the years we just added knights here and there through gifts xmas and the kids took good care of them and wanted me to finally paint the caslte parts and make a dio out of it - its a mix now of papo and old schielch stuff we picked up - they go well together when painted in same format. added some wooden hand made stuff to it etc - eventually we were going to add land and moat etc but trying to keep the mortgage isnt allowing it yet. - anyway its not really 21 century ww11 but it is what got the kids hooked on the hard stuff and looking at the great stuff you guys do here and wanting them to get in the hobby - they wanted me to post their pride and joy for you guys.
