SELWG LOOT

Sorry for the lack of posts. They have been because I was doing something I cannot tell you about. Ok OK I'll spill! I was asked to paint a figure for someone and not tell anyone what it might be. As they will receive next weekend I will very likely post pics then or soon thereafter.

Well the picture says it all. Here is what I got. But most importantly the physical side is not as important as the joy of meeting other bloggers and other people in the wargames community. You can expect blogs of the show from the following bloggers, Tamsin (Link to blog!), Ray (Link to Blog) , Big Lee of the sore shins (Link to his blog ) Whispering Al (You guessed it another blog link.) as well as many more as well and I am sure they will do a very good show report.

So what did I buy, from top left to bottom right-

  • 4 28mm Collie Dogs. you can never have enough dogs in a game. From Col Bill stand.
  • 1 belt fed miniature that I am painting for Louise.... but she wants no pics just yet! Again from Colonel Bills.
  • 1 20mm Huey medevac crew from Grubby tanks You may recall that I picked up a spare Huey at the Skirmish show. Now you know what it will be!
  • 1 20mm Sampan again for my Vietnam collection as I have no brown water stuff at all (until now) Again from Grubby tanks.
  • 2 28mm scare crows from Crooked Dice. Part impulse buy, part frostgrave constructs. I may not have another enchanter!
So as you can see quite a small haul. But after paying for fuel entrance and food and drinks (OK fizzy pop and sweets!) not much change from £45.

I did not take many pics of the day, but will put them up tomorrow.
Cheers for now Clint

  1. That's an incredibly modest haul Clint. Just as well Ray was there to make up for it with his spending!

    Great to see you again, even though you didn't have any fudge :)

    1. Thank you Tamsin. Great to see you as well. Sorry no confectionary, no excuses, I just did not get round to it.

      As for the modest haul I am a modest man perhaps with much to be modest about!

    1. Thank you Lee. I did not want to scare people with pictures of Lees Legs! So no, no evidence!

  7. Showing restraint, Clint, or was this all you wanted?

    1. Cheers Bryan. I could have spent more as there was more I wanted but I am aware that the run up to Christmas is now on for many people so I did avoid things that were on Christmas lists. There were 2 sets of rules for example as well as a couple of planned projects. But nothing that could not wait until the new year.

  8. I didn't spend much either but that's what I get for converting to 6mm!

    1. Thank you Lee. I have a great deal of time for 6mm wargames., easy to store and to transport and kind to the wallet as well.

    1. Cheers Joe, a couple of days home now and I am thinking "I should have bought this" or "need more of that paint" but less is for the best at the moment.
