So, I went to Salute on Saturday (see my show report here) and this time I went with a very focused shopping list. Some of what I wanted I didn't get because the trader concerned pulled out of the show, but I still managed to come home with a significant haul of lead and other goodies.
 |
| A serious shopping haul |
 |
| Lots of bases for my new project...and I still need to buy more! |
 |
| A few random figures for the Painting Challenge |
 |
| A new Desert Battlemat from Geek Villan |
 |
| Tufts and paints for my new project |
 |
| And the 'first batch of minis for my new project - The French Foreign Legion in 15mm. These are Blue Moon miniatures which I bought from Old Glory UK. Also, features is an MDF fort from BLOTZ, a bargain at just £30. |
The Foreign Legion project will be my main task during the Painting Challenge this year. Hopefully, I will be playing with these by spring next year.
Oooo shiny!
ReplyDeleteIndeed...I've already put in a follow up order with Old Glory...the project is growing even before I put paint on metal.
DeleteIt’ll be great to watch this unfold during the challenge Lee.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to doing something completely different. I also have some terrain ideas for this project, but that is time dependant.
DeleteInteresting to watch this, the Geek Villain mat is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe fleece material is really nice...and can double as a blanket in an emergency!
DeleteLittle wonder you didn't want to carry them around with you. A super hoard.
ReplyDeleteIt was getting heavier and heavier as the day wore on!
DeleteLots of shinies there Lee! :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed...going with a proper shopping list certainly helped.
DeleteGreat project to do...that fort will look fantastic
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to painting it. I'm thinking a nice textured paint will look good and obscure the fact its MDF.
DeleteOoh! That fort conjures up the Airfix FFL fort. Nice.
ReplyDeleteYes. I was tempted by the Resin fort that Old Glory do, but at £100 I decided I could live with the MDF version instead!
DeleteLooks impressive; will be even more so when the Painting Challenge is over.
ReplyDeleteThis should keep me busy during the Challenge
DeleteWhen you said loot, you weren’t kidding!
ReplyDeleteNeil
I would have bought more if Sally 4th had turned up... but then there is always the internet!
