Well the show started for me yesterday around 12:30 or so, have seen several familiar faces already (thanks Steven and Howard for jump starting my sales).

Visited with Andy for awhile yesterday, the desert diorama Gordon made is staggering, all scratch built buildings and it's gigantic, just incredible.

Saw the new BOB US and German releases, the Stug and the armored car are very well done, also saw the LOJ additions, the Romans and the ox cart are great, the latter can be used in a number of scenes.

Also saw the new Greeks, they are very nice as well as the upcoming planes; Andy also filled me in on some new items coming along soon, all I can say is QUITE a few of you are going to be very happy.

I've got all the new TGM sets here as well; medical kublewagon, medic and wounded trooper, british airborne in a raft, German anniversary MG team in greatcoats and the German tank hunter sets are all very nice.

For you plastic collectors, I've got the new CTS GI's, series II ON HAND, they've sold very well so far already.

Activity was pretty decent yesterday, more folks coming in today and the rest of the week, hope to see more of you later on during the show..............
 
It can hardly be called a show if Louis and I haven't arrived yet :D
 
Each year the fair starts.
I remember the times that I was there
let the pictures and news coming.
Greetings to all and a great event.

I'll be there this afternoon, tomorrow I get my room neighbor. Then the beer can start flowing. I'd be there earlier today, but I broke my foot and I have a doctors appointment today. Can't wait to get there.

Carlos always, always takes "alot" of pictures, many, many pictures! Since Carlos won't be attending the show he deserves someone to cover for him and I'm sure he is expecting tons & tons of pictures...right Carlos?:D;):rolleyes2:

George...thank you for the intel...I'm not attending...but I appreciate your allowing me to get a sense of what is going on...I really wanted to go...I wish I had...
 
Glad you got the thread going George. We were getting impatient down here !

One important question. What TG Medical kubelwagon ? I must have missed something somewhere as only heard of the MP truck and Krupp.

Will be watching for updates later today while I am watching the Broncons beat Manly (Rugby League) and then Australia beat USA (Rugby Union).

Have a great show guys. Just make sure Howard gets on the plane back to Oz safely !!!

Regards
Brett
