WMMS 2019

I've been to WMMS today, in the company of Phil of course, and with William our second eldest grandson. He was much taken with the large Star Wars participation game, while I just enjoyed the sit down ~
I thought the show had a real buzz about it, lots of different games to view or join in with and a host of traders ready to take your cash for new toys! I took a selection of pictures of some games, those which were related to my interests or those which I thought others night like to see ~











As you do, I came home with a bag of new stuff. Nothing too startling as I was at Hammerhead last weekend after all. A couple of new brushes from Coritani; two small MDF kits from Sarissa; some bits for next year's project - well outside my comfort zone in both scale and materials; and finally, 5' of bespoke canal sections made for me by The Last Valley. Look out for the latter on the next VBCW outing next month!

  1. It's a while since I've been to the show, but it used to be worth attending due to the mix of games, re-enactors and traders there. Sadly my chums have moved away so hard for us to meet up and travel to the show, so thanks for the pics as there look to be some good games on show.

    1. The 40mm AWI game by the chaps from Shrewsbury had so much to enjoy. Plus they both played and interacted with visitors!

  5. Looks like a really good show...

    I must admit I was rather thrown by the image of AT-AT’s on your blog...:-)

    All the best. Aly

    1. It was a grand event. If the At-Ats threw you, wait until you see the...Ah, nearly gave the game away there.
