Title: 2D Figurines
Post by: Brian on March 06, 2013, 05:12:04 PM
I'll try again, 2D Figurines will be at shows selling flats, with a lot of help from  Jupiter Miniatures, Western Miniatures, Glorious Empires and Joerg who are supplying the figures I am at shows with a trade table to help you see and buy flats.
I will also have my own and BFFS figures for sale.

Thats it Brian, give it another go, but bear in mind we are a bunch of wind up merchants  ;D ;D ;D

As previously stated, I wish you well  with every success, an excellent idea and a gap that needed filling.

 You can always count on my support and for any help required.

( PS  As your first customer, (  order already sent- not surprisingly Tweedledee & Tweedledum)
  ;D ;D ;D  ;D ;D  does this now give me a bigger discount???  ;D ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D )

Thanks Nick, without the support from friends we would not been able to do this.
Need to add Regina Sonntag to editors helping.
 
Also have a set of Alice and Friends with one piece missing, Alice in the boat, ether sell at a reduced price  £32  or will split, anyone interested?

Oh I see as your first customer, I get discount, but for this I get fewer figures than the usual set no !!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am interested in most of this set, will e mail you a list tonight.

however, If you get a better offer for the whole set, which would be better for you then  take it and run ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The show is only across the river from the Guinness factory... Shame I dont like the stuff... still if it was next the Magners factory that would be a different matter.

As for painting I will make time...

And I dont want to held responsible for diverting Brians thread...

Post by: hawk on March 08, 2013, 06:41:38 AM

Well done Brian, that's great to hear. Long may it continue.

Post by: Nicholas Ball on April 07, 2013, 01:14:49 PM
The table was far more impressive than the photo's show.

The Pretty young assistant helping Brian was the real reason for the success  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well done to Brian and Christine for making this happen, I am sure 2D will only get better as they get more shows under their belt.

A massive well done from me.

Really pleased to have met up with Brian at the recent BMSS show, although I'm not sure my wallet would agree! An impressive selection of flats available on the stand and it was really good to see a number of figures / sets in the "flesh" for the first time. A fast mail order service as well.

Brian do you have any listings for the Glorious Empires figures you've received?

Leon
