"Does anyone remember?" Topic

In the early days of the internet there was this website that featured a guy who would take off a week or so every year and have a huge battle in his back yard (HUGE back yard) He had 100's of models of tanks and aircraft. He would also make individual infantry men out of clay. He would even name them. He was kind of of reclusive about his strange hobby. Does anyone remember this or was it a fever dream?

I remember a guy with hundreds of tanks, planes, etc. but I am pretty sure the guy I am thinking of used plastic army men.

Do you remember where he lived, generally?

I remember that website, I though it was pretty cool the way he played with the plastic soldiers in his backyard. But I have no information on it to potentially look it up on they Internet Archive.

Still there.

I remember that. Very interesting story.

Thanks for sharing the link Parzival

Yep, that's the guy I was thinking of.

Good job, Parzival.

Yes I do, went their often but lost the link when computer crashed.

That's it great memory!

Beat me to it but I recall it well

Neat story and an amazing number of tanks!

that cover over 30 acres

And I thought I had a lot of stuff.

As I recall, he sculpts all his infantry.
