OK, I get bacon and bagel, what the devil is "butty" - butter?  But most sandwiches have butter  ???

Great looking show.  I really like the Brunswickers.

Enjoyed the show and got everything I planned to get and a few bargains to boot too!

Oh yes, just to add, I've got a small review up on my blog, which can view by clicking on the link below my signature line.
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.

Some really nicely painted figures.  And those South Pacific War miniatures certainly are tempting.  I guess I will have to learn something about the period and events...

They AWI demo game looks really nice. Are they Pendraken figures? Did you do the masters Clibinarium?

Steve i think they were nearly all Pendraken except for some bits and bobs of equipment from Irregular. It did look nice didnt it

Oh and the commanders were SYW figures i think because we dont have them for AWI yet..... (hint)

My first time at Salute and i really enjoyed it - not sure i would do it every year though because its a long journey. It certainly has a special feel though. Bernie's 10mm AWI game was very nice and he managed to persuade me to buy some rules as well :)

Its the first time i've seen the new style Pendraken trade stand and i was very impressed guys - looked very professional and stood out nicely. There were quite a few traders that i struggled to find in the hall but your banner stood out very visibly.

Cheers for the compliments, the new look stand took up a lot of my time over the winter months, but it all seems to have been worth the effort.

Bacon butty = slang for a bacon sandwich!  Regular show fodder, but usually served in good old bread, none of this fancy bagel business!

It was a range Dave decided to do for interest sake, more than financial, as it is slightly off the beaten track.  But it has had a surprising amount of interest since we released it.  Some of the figures can also be used for Maximilian.

They're on the requests list, with a lot of votes, so they will be getting done.  I'll let Clib confirm?

Its possible that a few of the votes are mine.... but i thought it would be rude to let the opportunity to mention it pass again :)

Nice pics Leon  8)

I'm still waiting for forum members to identify themselves though in the "Cat in the Hat" series  ;)

Are those the Pacific figures I painted up - looks like they've 'furred' a bit - or the pic's grainy - if they've furred (I probably packed them too soon after varnishing), give them a quick brush with Klear (acrylic floor polish) undiluted & it'll sort...

It's more likely the picture.  They're inside a plastic display case, and I was trying to get a good photo without any glare, and that one was the best of the bunch.

I'll give the guys chance to identify themselves, it's probably fairer that way!

Coolio - glad they're OK

You're very fair re the naming etc: I vote you give people 24 hrs to come forward - and then start with the naming... :P
