This is the show's second year. Last year was a huge success; this year promises to be even better. There's a competition, displays, and vendors. Also painting and groundwork workshops. Figure categories cover all scales and genres and there is an ordnance division for armor and aircraft.
Hope to see some of you there!
Cheers,
Glen

Will be there

Hope you both had a great time.
I'd like to hear your report. Trying to decide if it's worth a trip next year from snowy New England.

Some pics of flats. There were less than a dozen. My Steampunk Pinup got a silver.
More coming.
Glen
Edit: OK, what happened to the other five pics...? Gotta figure this out.
-
I'll try this again.

A few more. Is anyone interested in pics of rounds or ordnance?
Glen

Hi Gen thanks for posting the photos. I myself would be interested i photos of the round figures at the show.

Hi Glen , some great painted flats especially like the 2 versions of the Gary Dombrowski ACW buglers. Congratulations on the Silver and thanks for posting pics.
Cheers Ken

Hi Ken. I"m glad you liked them; the two ACW buglers were my two favorite flats. Both were well painted and presented, but each had it's own style. One had dramatic shading and highlighting, while the other had more detail painting - especially around and in the eyes. Overall, there were almost 400 pieces - historical and fantasy figures in various scales, large monster/horror genre heads, military vehicles, dios, etc. Our club set up a table with several figures (and flats) on it. Should have more pics shortly.
Cheers,
Glen

Some more pics. I'll post a little bit of everything.

One more batch for today. The Norman, Roman Archer, and Teutonic Sergeant are mine.

Thanks Glen good figures.
Chris

Thank you for the pictures Glen; some very nice flats (ACW )
Congratulations for the silver even if I am not seduced by your figure ;) :)

Here's another batch. The first two are from Julio Cabos - Andrea Miniatures' pinup artist. He gave a sold-out two-day painting workshop that covered brushing and airbrushing. The next piece is Ghost of the Revolution, a reinterpretation of a French Revolution bust whose maker I can't seem to recall. Senior moment... The last piece is Mike Meehan's 'Alice in Wonderland'. The red dress looked like velvet. More coming.

Six more (I like this new means of attaching figures; it's quick). Five more of Mike's girl kits. I really like his stuff. So different from the crusty old Vikings and Normans I usually paint. The last piece - 'Curvy Cougar' - is one of mine. Just a reinterpretation of a 28mm Reaper Succubus named Bella. I remove her little bat wings, filled in the hair, then used putty and wine bottle foil to make the quarter-cup bra, girdle, garters (suspenders to some of you), and stockings. A good change of pace from the aforementioned Vikings and Normans. And how often do you get to say quarter-cup bra and girdle on the BFFS/IFFS forums? ;D
More later.

Good on ya Glen, looks like a good show, not sure which Alice I like best, think the blue just gets it, and your Curvy Couger is very good, she looks a fun girl ;) ;D
-
Well those girly figures would not go down well at the British Model Soldier competitions ladies showing their part never do.
Brian you should get some and enter them ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Thanks, Brian. It was a good show. The blue Alice medaled (silver or gold, I can't remember - another senior moment). Chris, sounds like some of them boys over yonder at the BMSS could use a hobby...
Here's the last of my pics. The Amazon is mine. The three monster heads were painted by Rusty Nail whose airbrushed larger scale heads are as good as anything you'd see in Hollywood (or Pinewood). The pale bat-eared head had a translucent skin; it was eerie. He had more, but they wouldn't photograph very well due to their being in glass cases. The last pic is an overall shot of half of the display room taken early Saturday morning while everyone was still in bed (Friday night ...um, festivities) or at breakfast. And, silly me, I neglected to take pic of our club display table. Trying to round one up.
Cheers,
Glen
