Tanker's Tuesday : PETER SHULMAN'S WAR

Peter's War is the story of an outdoor war game that artist Peter Shulman has been playing for more than sixty years. It has some very unusual aspects to it that make it totally unique. It is in fact a huge installation type work of art. At the present time the war contains over 60,000 hand sculpted soldiers and more than 5,000 scale models, vehicles in 1/35 and 1/32 scale aircraft in 1/48 scale that cover over 30 acres.

I read Peter Shulman's story several years ago. Very sad. I think he paid a high price for his hobby, however much we admire his achievements.
