The Other Partizan 2022 - Loooong Post Alert! Part 1

 


Four Rejects headed up north last Sunday for what's becoming IMHO THE best 2 shows to visit.

The Other Partizan and its brother Partizan are a bit of a bit of a trek for us, but what a treat for the eyes it was!!!

It was a great run up only taking around 4 hours, that of course included two stops the first halfway up the A1 when we had to stop because all 4 of us had nosebleeds going that far north! The second was much more enjoyable, a slap up breakie at a Premier Inn!

We arrived just after 10 o’clock just as the queue was being let in.


As we entered the doors, we spotted these two below, wonder how much extra Stuart pays to be right by the doors?


Col Bill & Scott doing his pornstar pose!
I purchased a few bits from the chaps including some late 17th century ships crew, they will surly come in handy for my ever expanding Donnybrook saga, (yes, I will do a game with them soon!)


Martin brushing noses with his customers.

Next stop was Warbases we're I picked up a pre-order for some bases as well as paints and other stuff.
Congratulations go to Glenn, he's tying the knot very soon!!

  7. Some huge setups. I like the ones utilizing planes. The desert one is cool although not very colorful. (Of course, one doesn't want to be colorful in the desert.)
