I spent yesterday at the very splendid Plastic Warrior show in Twickenham, West London. The show specialises in 54mm plastic figures, though other scales and materials are always present.
This was my fourth (I think) visit and I once again shared a table with show organiser Brian Carrick.
Part of the joy of such events is meeting old (and new) friends, so it was good to chat with Brian, Anthony, Mike, Eric, Graham to name but a few. I was also sending regular text message updates to Bertrand - who was sadly stuck in a meeting in Belgium.
The photos were taken an hour before the show actually opened to punters but already plenty of toys and cash had changed hands. I did rather well shifting the ‘offcuts’ from a collection I had recently bought and plundered for the bits I wanted. I’ll cover my modest purchases in a future post.
It was nice to see you again - hiopefully we'll see you at a game sometime soon somewhere...

ReplyDeleteWe live in hope! Did you manage to extract Anthony without further financial mishaps?
Yes, after Anthony talking me into buying the Airfix Waterloo Wargame I just bought a couple of boxes of punic wars figures (which was my intended purchase!)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a Waterloo game soon then Mike!
ReplyDeleteI managed to miss the show again...

ReplyDeleteI spotted the Waterloo game. I have hazy memories of it from about 1978.....
