Title: 32 square feet of 10mm goodness
Post by: fred. on 05 August 2012, 09:42:57 PM
Inspired by Nik's birthday parade, and taking the opportunity of the rest of the family being away for a couple of days, I have got all my painted 10mm figures on the table. And they fill the full 8'x4'. I knew I had a lot of figures, but didn't realise it was quite that many!

It's taken the whole evening to get the figures set up, so I will get some photos tomorrow evening in daylight.

Right, managed to get some photos taken tonight - but I've struggled a bit to get the full set of models in a decent photo - its hard to get far enough away to get everything in a single shot.

Anyway these are the better overview shots:

Here's a go at videoing the figures - its a bit blurry, does it help show what's there?

Cheers chaps, I'll get some of the close up photos posted tomorrow.

Phil, there's no goat, or other farm yard animals for that matter.

There is a fair mix of manufacturers, but a good proportion are Pendraken

That's because many units stand back in awe of eachother!

Great display of boys' toys + a sunny garden to put up a gaming table = bliss.

They are GW Warmaster high elves

Aart - it is inside in the conservatory, even in summer in the UK outdoor wargaming will result in getting wet.

Robert - it took an evening to set everything up, and not too long to take photos etc. I have it to put away tonight. Painting and purchasing has taken a good 8 years or so.  I got back into painting and gaming around 2004, and the figure count has grown steadily, nearly all in 10mm.

Good stuff Ray - plenty of space for growth available!

Putting it all away is a right pain - but does a allow for a bit of resorting and organising.
