I got the plot right, but not all the characters, thought it was collectors showcase, it was a great looking piece, as was the Firefly.

London Show today; always good to catch up with people and talk soldiers.

Seemed v quiet, one less hall and so less dealers. Far less pictures.

JJD – had a new Azetec Temple and new Walls and T Gunn plus some new offerings. They seem to make the effort.

No one showcasing FL

W Britain’s had all the stuff I have seen now for months / years and they have not delivered on.

Dave at TM Terrain has some amazing stuff, as always

Iwan’s Peninsula Soldiers – premium figures – are amazing for detail and painting

Lots of glossy’s – Replica Soldiers had a good display

Thanks,

There is a 3 part (28min each) video coverage of this show on YouTube. Done very professionally and smooth slow scanning. Excellent. Robin.

Gazza - you do a great job with the photos so dont worry about any id mistakes!

As for the show it was one less hall but on the TGM stand all day it was very busy - so for us it was a good show. We had plenty of customers so even though the March show is supposed to be the quiet one of the year it ended up being very good - despite some sellers staying away.

The lovely sunny weather outside probably had a bit to do with it.

Cheers,

Stefan

Robin,

very clever … so I followed your instruction and found not one, but 3 x 30 min videos of the Show.

It was just like walking round the tables and looking at all the items on show, but not being rummage through the interesting boxes :)

I decided to view it on the BIG Smart TV instead of the computer and WOW, it was great resolution and just like being there.

I would have liked some more general shots because I could only recognise a few of the stall holders, but that's a small price to pay.

Next time I'm in UK, I will be attending, like I have done on all my trips 'back to Blighty' in the past 20 years :)

Great photo roundup as usual Gazza - well done :salute:: Nice talking to you again at the show :)

The Confederate Loco was my favourite piece from the show :wink2:

Thanks for sharing your photos, Gazza!

This band and the others behind it caught my eye. The sculpts look really detailed, and the painting builds upon that detail. Do you know who made this?

They appear to be on the Turner Family tables - makers of Tommy Atkins , Fusilier Miniatures and Hussar Miniatures. A lot of times, they also have odds/ends from collections, so you may want to contact Paul Turner to verify if they are made by them or they were resell items.

Thanks, Tom. Now that you mention the Turners, I wonder if they produced the castings. I have their sites bookmarked, for their 18th century kit figures. I'll have to have a look and see if they're there.

Prost!
