Hey Gary.

I preordered historex set 3022 the emperor's staff. ( 5 mounted kits),
and a mounted red lancer.

At the show I purchased EK castings no M155 a lovely 14th century knight ffrom Ace miniatures.
2 x 120mm busts 'Sgt hakeswill' and a hooded steampunk girl from Elan,
And a French revolutionary 1/9th scale from Grah at GCS.
So 10 items really.

I think I was a very good boy.
I needed the plas kits for my waterloo project in january,
so I now have everything I need now.

Well I was a good Boy.

I purchased . A Set of 21 metallics from Dark Star. MMM Lt Col Douglas 11th Hussars. Stormtroopers Lieut Coldstream Gds Bust 1854. I then talked myself into Stormtroopers Officer 66th Regt of Foot Maiwand 1880. ( In the hope they will produce one or two more to go with it.
I had two more on the list a Figure and a Bust but they were not quite ready yet so they are ordered.

I then went to the local model shop in the Old High St to purchase some vallejo paint as none were on sale at the show.
So Mrs B and the Bank Manager are happy

What in the hell is 'Curling up the sides of your Brass'. ???

Or is this a no-go area! .. Due to the delicate dispositions of some members.

Just asking mate.

Your brass could curl around it right?
Is this a trick? Is it some kind of 'antiques roadshow curiosity'
No idea what else it could be for, sorry.
It looks somewhat like a medieval armoured accesory,
Or some workmanlike tool but it's not in any of my illustrated catalogues..

I don't know what you meant by all that other stuff.

Hope I'm being helpful mark, thanks for posting.

I thought better of putting down a like for this one being very unsure what it's for, so I'll content myself with a "Trust You" .

 

[megroot]

Well:
The Hussar 120 mm from CGS , the one that whas comment alot but a beaty on its own.
The Dragoon bust from CGS
The Sapper of the Dragoons of the guard from Pegaso.
H&V Miniatures the bust Regiment Infanterie Verdun 1916
King of Souvenirs Bust from Stormtrooper Miniatures.

Nothing more.....
O yes, I orderd a flat from BFFS from a Ketteldrummer.

Hi
I got some larger scale flats to add to the ever growing grey army
But at least they are easy to store

It was good to see you Marc and that Hussar casting is a fine piece of work

WTF ?? Don't you have a grey army

 

[Babelfish]

Paul & Nige ... it's only once a year lads (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

[OldTaff]

The 200mm French Grenadier"Vive l'Empereur"; 75mm figures from Ellies,1x Chasseur trumpeter,1x Tirailleur Officer Standard Bearer; 3x bottles of 'Rokit',various cosistencies; 2x holders (wooden handled); set of Brokentoad brushes; Darkstar's new ink washes; a book on wood effects with acrylics, and a nice little scenic base for a 54mm, from the pleasant Greek chaps. And a bottle of 'Old Speckled Hen' at £3.50 !! That's what hurt!
There was much else I mightily desired, but held myself in check with the resolve to do a number of the GA before adding any more

[Nige]

Fair play mate. Brought me a huge smile and actually reminds me of my first year at Euro in the early nineties when I was like the kid in a candy shop. I think I've still got some of them. Enjoy

 

[Babelfish]

I'm like the kid in a candy shop every year Nige, despite promising myself in the run-up that "this year I'll rein it in a bit" .

Actually this year I did rein it in a bit - I had every intention of coming home with the Nuts Planet "Saladin" bust as well!!

My problem is that I can resist anything except temptation .

I grabbed some of those Alan. The company is a new one called Terra Models, run by a very affable fellow by the name of Vassilis. He told me that he's hoping to expand his range into 75mm soon. I hope he does because his stuff is very nice and quite reasonably priced too I thought.

He's worth a plug, so here's the link to his web site (yes I know it looks like it could be a link to a porn site, but trust me it's not! )

He's also on puttyandpaint:
