SELWG 2010

Arrived at SELWG around 0950hrs with the boyos to end up at the back of a very long queue which a couple of minutes later started moving and we were in.Seemed to be pretty much the same traders as last year and we all split up and went our seperate ways, did not have much funds with me but picked up some thugz and terminators from EM4 miniatures,some cheap black spray(£5 a tin for GW black),spray varnish, the new zombie book from Osprey and a 15mm VTOL and bots from GZG and the new wargames illustrated.Even if I had a lot more funds I do not think there was much more I would have bought.

Wandered around and heard some traders talking to each other about how poor business was even with orders they receive online, I did think the show was not as busy as last year and could have done with a few different traders but this is just my opinion.

Myself and Ray http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/ met Lee from http://bigleesminipaintingblog.blogspot.com/ while he was taking pictures of a game for his blog and this is why we did not take that  many pictures and recommend you go to his site and view some great pictures when he has them up in a couple of days, Lee is a thoroughly nice guy and we have put on a game this saturday and invited him to come down for a 15mm ACW game.All in all it was a good day and I have to mention that Postie our umpire for all games and ringleader paid for us in and bought us a McDonalds on the way home(I think we are his surrogate kids).A couple of pictures below for your viewing pleasure.

SELWG next week!

Thought that SELWG was this weekend and was playfully reminded by friends and even loved ones  that i was mistaken and an idiot,so looking forward to next weekend there are four of us going from the"The Group with No Name",this will be my third and final show this year(barring a lottery win).We have been to Cavalier(small and ok but terrible lighting),SALUTE(good this year but the queues) and SELWG(I love the smell of chlorine in the morning).No money to go but a day out is a day out in my book and if not gaming then a show is just as good.

Have finished my terminators from copplestone,finished the not The Devils Rejects figures from Paul Hicks,took some action shots from Zombietowm USA(loads of zombies) and there will be the Vallejo Russian bloody green debate and all these will appear next week.
