During my visit to the March London Toy Soldier show today (Saturday 28th March.) I had a long and pleasant visit to the Empire Military Miniatures stand. Malcolm and Allan made me very welcome.
I had gone there primarily in the hope of seeing the master paints of their first two BEF figures - Malcolm had come up trumps! There they were. Very, very nicely done, in fact much better than I had hoped.
Also picked up two new line and price lists containing news of some more “to come” BEF releases and also another unique Belgian set! The Belgian Maxim gun team was also in stock – again very, very nice indeed. (Malcolm gave me some very exciting “hush hush” info regarding future BEF releases…………. Can’t wait!!)
Also in attendance was Historian Mr Kevin Hicks in very authentic full Parliamentarian Ironside Harqubusier uniform. A real character he was too!
Well, having said I had primarily gone to see the paint masters of the BEF figures – I bought the four Parliamentarian cavalry figures. After having a really good look at them close quarters – you’re right Malcolm. I “realised it was futile to resist the temptation and lure”………..!
Here’s some pics of the visit (Taken very early early bird hence lack of punters!) – I believe “Battlewagon Bruce is in one the pics with Malcolm.
