Salute 2024 - A very long post!

 Its Sunday afternoon and I'm trying to go through the 400 photos I took at Salute yesterday, while sitting watching Crystal Palace beating Liverpool 0-1!!

This is gonna be a loooong post! So sit down with a cup of tea and a sandwich.

My first pic above is from my favorite game of the show, how magnificent does that look???

The Grandara Model Gaming Project

Five Rejects managed to get to the show, we all had Press Pass tickets and got in the show at 8, long before some games and traders were set up.

Postie, BigLee, Dave, Chris and myself.

We would be joined by Mike Sayce a little later.

Lee's post about the show can be found here.

My first purchase of the day was from a company I'd not heard about before, Battlefield Accessories,

where I bought 3 25mm MDF buildings, if you've not heard about this Australian company before, go take a look at their site, the sell some top quality stuff.

Debris of War - Ready and waiting for the onslaught!!

I spoke to Andy near the end of the show, they had a great day, nearly selling all their stock, so he was a very happy chappy!

At a few minutes before 10, I thought I'd go take a look at the queue!

Not sure how many people were in the queue, but there was a lot.

I beat a hasty retreat as the horde hurried in!

Onto the games...

There were many small games, hopefully I've labelled them correctly?
