I very much enjoyed the show today. It was a pleasure, as always, to visit with George and modestly help lighten his return load and a great pleasure to meet the Lt., Fish and the Scarlet P. Sorry no photos but a good time was had I think.

 

[The Lt.]

As the 24th Ft. was out number at Rorke's Drift yours trurly was out number 3 to one by our infamous Napoleonic Collectors Fish, The Scarlet Pimpernel and Sir Spitfrnd and couldn't have been out number by a nicer bunch. It was nice seeing Fish and a pleasure meeting The SP and Spitfrnd. Got to spend some time with Matt and his dad Bill along with the infamous Warrior Sir George. I took a number of photos which are now headed your way in random order with no blow by blow discription. The photos taken of the show room and crowd was taken right after the show open in got quite crowded after my photo taking. So here's the show an some goodies............The Lt.

It was nice meeting up with you also! I had a good time and found a couple of nice figures. I was on a limited budget this time around and still spent a lot more then I had planned but I couldn,t resist picking up these Russian Don cossacks I found, I was told they were made by collectors show case for this guy by special order and that only 12 sets of each were made like stated on the box??? Either way they are really great looking figures and I couldn,t pass them up!

Here are a couple of pics of the figures! Sorry no pics of the show but I know that Joe snapped a few.
