London Show 5th December 2009 Photo's & Report (2 Viewers)

[joesgis]

Unbelievable photo documentation Jeff and Rob. Again, I thank you for your generosity in giving your time and effort. I hope everyone had a fantastic and memorable time...so many awesome creations were depicted in the photos including Figarti, Maison Militare, K & C, Graham Mollard, WB, FL, and the list goes on and on...

And who were all those plastered-looking fellows photographed hell-raising in the hotel bar?!?! Just joking, of course. I hope to someday be able to make the trip across the pond to attend the London festivities, but I cannot afford the travel expense because I have an affliction that causes all discretionary expenditures of mine to be directed toward military miniatures. Perhaps some of you have heard of this syndrome? I must admit, it is monetarily sinful, yet quite endlessly fun!

Thanks again to all for sharing the photos and words of their show experiences; it's the next best thing to being there!

Excellent coverage. Well done guys.
Been fun reading it and viewing the pictures. Nice to see RedHugh in there after his return to sunny Scotland from Down Under.

Guys,although my pics were only a fraction of the amount Jeff took and not nearly as good,I was very happy to do it as its good if guys who can't attend can see whats going on and I do appreciate all the guys in the US who take pics for us during Chicago.

Rob, what a great day out yesterday!

These are made by The British Toy Soldier Company and retail at £800 for the boat and £300 for the figures which are Dorset Soldiers castings.

Jeff

He certainly did and I got the other one

Cheers

Thanks to everyone for all the pictures, I really appreciate your work. My absolute favourite thing on this forum is viewing collector and manufacturer photos of their pieces displayed, I never tire of them. I've never been to toy soldier event ( only thru cyberspace ) and it looks like terrific fun.

To Jeff, Rob and the 999th,
this thread is probably the best show coverage we were privileged to watch here yet.
Thank you very much guys.
Konrad

Totally agree, well done guys, brilliant!

Hi Craig

Clive told me about the Paddle Steamer and I was knocked out when I saw it, I had been looking for one for ages. I believe Patrick took orders for 2 or 3 more.
I had been helping Richard out on his stall opposite. Did your Dad help me get it loaded in the hire van?

Cheers

Jeff

That would of probably been Brian the other fellow on the stall we had to leave around half 2 to catch the national express back home so didnt stay till the end this year Patrick had just started to pack the 1st of the 2 paddlesteamers up for 1 of you when we was leaving, I think Patrick had took 3 orders for more by the end of the show.

I can't wait for my Stug III to arrive so it can divide my Russian forces at Stalingrad.

Hi 999th,

It really was another great show in London today.Its 3.22am here and it would take until dawn to list everyone who I'd like to thank for a great day,but I'll narrow it down a bit.;Mike,Tony,Bob,Sue,Dave,Cathreen at K&C UK for a great day,Andy for answering all my questions,all the UK and Dutch Guys that came along,it was really good to see everyone of you today.

Highlights of the show were for me were K&C's P51 and Figarti's Sherman Flail.We got two show figures today,from K&C a Polish Soldier,and from Figarti a Royal Navy officer for a Landing craft.Both these are superb figures,thanks to both Clive and Andy for these.

Oh my god its 3.30am.You arn't going to belive this guys but I havn't even opened my purchases yet!.

Off to bed

Cheers

Rob

PS.I'm sure Jeff will produce much better pics for you tommorow

Do you know Rob, I have just read through your posts again and I must say (again ) that there is certainly no problem with your photography skills and the photos you took are probably better than mine!
