Thanks to Brian, Nick and friends for making me welcome on the flats zone at Euro Militaire - and to everyone who contributed exhibits to a display that I enjoyed a lot (and from which I learned a thing or two  ;) )


(Trade Hall)


(Flats exhibition and 2D Figurines on the balcony)


(my little contribution - thanks for including me in such a fine display)



(more exhibits including Eric's splendid elephants)



(mostly from the BFFS display, but the French in the middle are from the painting competition)

Well, a long trek for me down from the East Midlands ... but I now know where it is and what it is like ... I think the group contributory exhibition table was a great idea, and there was nothing but interest and enthusiasm from visitors who browsed in our direction.

I am more a wargamer than a collector, and my collection (built around donations from Society of Ancients founders Tony Bath, Deryck Guyler and Phil Barker) is primarily geared for table top use, bringing ancient military history to life.

But I have come away keen to play a role in publicising the attractions of this unique style of military figure ... for painters, collectors, players and historians alike.

Well done BFFS...

Phil Steele

Hi Phil, Saturday is not taken up with the prize giving but the comp room closes at 3.00 so I say Saturday.
Parking, well I've always been early to help set up but the underground car park is where most go but as I said you got to be early ;)

I have to say also there not a lot of toy soldiers at this show Figures, Tanks and aircraft is the order of the day.
Bring some of you figures and come and say hello.

I'm thinking of making a first time visit to Euromilitaire this weekend (last minute changes make it look possible after all) ...


Which is better, Saturday or Sunday?   My main interest would be mooching around for old toy soldiers and meeting up with fellow flat figure enthusiasts ...


... And ... tell me about parking ... is there sensible parking at the venue?   i.e. can I just drive right up, park safely (and free or modest - maybe which day applies - like most shows) then follow the signs to the ticket desk?   Or are there complications?


Anything else I should know?

A little update on Euro, over the weekend there will be three official demos and the BFFS have been asked to chair one of them.
I have been volunteered to do the deed so Saturday at 10.30 in the demonstration room I will give you the basics of painting a flat in oil's, see you all there hahaha

The competition will be judged by two knowledgeable and experienced flat painters as well as a member from the BFFS just to help and keep an eye on things  ;D.
One more thing, next months military mod will have an article on the BFFS and the show well worth a look

This is starting to get big now, we have several clubs interested in joining us for the weekend to give a push to the flat figure.
We have a special badge being made for those who contribute to the display table and comp, demos on painting flats by some of the top painters will be running through the weekend as well as advice given and not only all that but 2D Figurines will be there selling all sorts of flats.

If your interested and need more information just ask

The Organisers have kindly informed us that with regards to the competition, all entries have to be on the tables by 2.45 PM on the Saturday afternoon.

For those who wish to enter the competition, but cannot get there till the Sunday, the Organisers have agreed that we can put them in by Proxy, therefore I will be more than willing to accept figures which are  sent to me, which I will put into the Competition on your behalf.

The only catch is you must be able to collect them yourselves on the Sunday at 4.30.  ;)

the price per entrant is £2.

Anyone interested, please PM me with details.
