War Games
War Games is a brand new exhibition that has just opened at the V&A Museum of Childhood in London.
It explores the role of warfare in children’s games from 1800 to the present day across the sections Playing at War, On the Battlefield, Reality to Fantasy and Secret Weapons.
As a child I was obsessed with war and it dominated all aspects of my play, whether it was the thousands of Airfix soldiers I diligently collected, painted and played with or the Spitfires, Lancasters and Stukas I made and destroyed.
It is something that has stayed with me, I'm not out war-gaming at the weekends or collecting tanks but memories of the multitude of small tins of Humbrol paint colours I possessed always inspire me when choosing colours and the small perfectly formed Foreign Legion soldiers still influence me.
