I almost didn't go to Farnborough for the show this year, because of side effects from my medication, what the British National Formulary call a skin reactions. Anyway, enough of the grumbling.
Above on my right is Jon from GZG, long time friend, and on my left is Tim from Gomi Designs who I hadn't seen for 20 years. So just going and meeting up with my two friends made my day.
Below is what I scored at the show.
Decals from Pendraken, Some Rosemary & Co drybrush brushes, a pack of small needle files, and a packet of leaf scatter to try out. Still have a bunch of trees to finish.
We got there and had a good mooch around and found Daleks! I was excited! They're 3D prints from The Madman's Workshop, and come in a range of sizes. I asked about 1/100th sized Daleks for 15mm, and plan on ordering some to try out.
How can one resist the power of the Daleks!?
Lots of games to see, and a lot of the competition games had real nice tables set up, going beyond the usual green mat and some lonesome scatter terrain dotting the table.
And then there was this.
On its last outing, Joe Bilton's What a Tanker Operation Charnwood, Caen 1945 table.
That's it. That's all I've got. Catch you all on the bounce.

Hek... so many Daleks... I never seen.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, still I can discern that there is non-dalek there(bottom left, far corner;).

Pretty sure that is a Mechanoid... I had a very old (well new then) book of Dr Who monsters as a child.

Mechanoids were going to be the Daleks prime foe, the reason the Daleks hadn't conquered everywhere all at once, but the props were large and awkward and they didn't catch on.
DeleteYep.
DeleteGreat to see you.
ReplyDeleteThose Daleks were quite impressive...
I also picked up some Pemberleys scatter - a new name to me.
I didn't realise that was a Joe Bilton table - but explains a lot - he's a great modeller.

Likewise, it has been too long, but that's life. Joe puts on a great looking table.
DeleteWarfare was good this year, except for the distance from the stations. Saw the Daleks but resisted. Indeed spent less on reflection than I thought I'd done!
ReplyDeleteNo extermination for you then. IIt would be nice to get some Mechanoids asopposition for my 15mm Daleks. And perhaps a few of the new bronze Daleks, and the tall Emperor Dalek, and new mad Emperor Dalek too. Resistance is futile, I must have the shiny.
DeleteGREAT to see you got there - fab to see you caught up with GZG Jon too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI did, it was lovely.
