Very go of looking banners!

Great choice of subject matter (well I would say that, with them being my tanks!)

Would it be a problem it I said that the 3rd Sherman from the back is Minifigs?

I think I heard Leon having a 'moment'
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Great banners and the tag line is just right :).

Great banner, I particularly like the squarer one with the painting competition winners showing some of the 'choice'  ;) :)

I'm surprised fsn hasn't commented on the top right picture yet  ;D

Great day at Salute, and the new stand looked really nice.  It was more spacious as well, so the stand wasn't all crammed like it was last year.  Takings were up slightly, about 10% of so, which is the whole point of the day I suppose!

And now that it's been unveiled, I can say a big thanks to Fred for the banner image, we've got a lot of use out of that picture!  I'm hoping he might get some of those nice WW1 figures onto a table so we can get another pic...  :D

There's been a load of opinions on Salute knocking about, but a lack of pictures it would seem?  Here's a couple of sets:

Its great to see it blown up so big - should get to see it in person at Phalanx   :-bd

Need to get a few more WWI painted, and find the right ground cloth for WWI - don't think the grassy swathes will work so well with muddy bases!

Always the voice of logic

If not accuracy.

I think you were away from the stand at the time. Leon quickly beetled out of shot, although in fairness he was standing in front of the square banner at the time.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Or under it snoozing away the "networking" he had consumed?
