Canadian Wargamer Podcast Episode 30 With Our Guest Andrew Dobson of Dobbies' Hobbies
As we reached Episode 30 of the CWP, James and I had a terrifically enjoyable chat with Andrew Dobson. Andrew is one of Canadian wargaming's rising stars, and is the proprietor of Dobbies Hobbies, a 3D printing factory licensed to produce a wide variety of models from a wide range of suppliers.
We love Andrew's energy and his enthusiasm for the potential of 3D printing. Andrew also has an interest in Canadian military history, which explains our final march past. This interview was recorded in June, and we're sorry that it's taken a long time to get it to your ears. Andrew, we would have loved to go with your Sabbaton choice, Cliffs of Gallipoli, but we were worried about the copyright implications, so there's a link below.
