I just about broke even on the Posties Rejects table, selling some stuff and buying some too.
I needed some 15mm roads and some appeared before my eyes. Now I need more of the same!!!
Some rough ground terrain pieces, with a 25mm figure for scale. always kinda handy for many periods.
Lastly a box of 2mm Irregular Miniatures 18th century figures, I quite fancy some Austrians for the WSS to go with my Almansa project, you know that one I've not had a game with yet???
Lee, Postie and especially Dan managed to sell a lot of their stuff, unfortunately for me, I didn't, so I plan to take a few photo's and advertise my ware's here on my blog, then onto ebay, so I'm looking forward to the millions coming in soon?!?
As for the Tabletop sale as a whole, we we're a little disappointed in the footfall, I'd have expected a lot more support for the guys who run the show.
Will we go again? Yes of course and I hope more bods turn up to sell and buy. Well done to the Rainham guys on a great little event.
Nice goodies there Ray, big box of 2mm 18th century stuff looks interesting, look forward to seeing what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteMe too Donnie! Lol
DeleteLooks like you picked up some useful stuff
ReplyDeleteYes, I was very pleased with my purchases.
DeleteGreat looking stuff Ray 👌
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteA nice little haul, Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich.
DeleteMy purchases at the Rainham sale event will soon be repurposed via the melting pot! In the meantime a unit of Hanoverian hussars are nearing completion. Just a few more touches required to their horses.
ReplyDeleteWhat will you be making after the melt?
DeleteNice haul. "...appeared before my eyes...", I like it...is that like discussing with your wife how you would really like to visit Japan one day and then within minutes you are bombarded with Google adds for travel to Japan?
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me yesterday. I was discussing with the wife about sending a spare washing machine to one of the kids and now I am flooded with appliance adverts. Very unsettling.
DeleteExactly. "I need 15mm roads, I hope somone is selling some.....AHA!"
DeleteThe roads look great and the rough ground is very effective. Both handy purchases.
ReplyDeleteVery handy Lawrence!
DeleteNice stash l the roads look like a Fat Frank production.. you can find him on e bay (I have the very ones you picked up too )
ReplyDeleteThink you're right Dave, I checked them out. Fat Franks.....here I come!
DeleteA good haul Ray. Any cigars left in the Dunhill box?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you paid for the minis but Mr. Google says:
"Empty Vintage Cardboard or Wood Cigar Boxes (Mid-Century): Typically sell for $15 to $80 on marketplaces like eBay Australia and Etsy if they are standard empty packaging from older lines like Seleccion Suprema." So maybe worth listing on eBay when you list your spare minis 😁🤔
No cigars I'm afraid. But I'll certainly explore that out. Cheers for the heads up, I'd have probably thrown the box in the bin!
DeleteAnother great stash of goodies Ray - doesn't Mrs Rousell ever notice the amount of "stuff" you are bringing into her new house?!
ReplyDeleteNo, I hide it in my garage before she see's it all!!!
DeleteSuperb stuff, Ray! Excellent photos and a proper nice stash of goodies—looking forward to seeing what you do with the 2mm figures!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Andy
Me too, Andrew, I'm thinking of Austrians for the WSS, or maybe more Brits and French????
Deletebreaking even is probably to sort of thing that underpins the success of these sort of things. I was surprised at low footfall, I had wondered whether some diminishing shows might turn a bigger proportion of their effort over to 'bring 'n buy', or even sole bring 'n buy.
ReplyDeleteIts always the first thing I head for at any show, just don't wanna miss out on a bargain. At Broadside like this tabletop sale, you hire a table and man it yourself for the duration of the show. That saves on manpower for the organizers and works really well.
DeleteNice stuff Ray trust me I would attend the sale if it was a bit closer to us up here
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would Matt, we're all always on the lookout for a bargain or two. Hopefully the next one will have more bods turn up.
DeleteGood luck with the selling Ray. I see you got roads. I want some latex ones that QRF used to sell. I'm scouring the internet. I like those rock things you got. I have some in 15mm pretty nifty and impossible to damage. That's our time of life I suppose, the rock and road lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteDaveD thinks the roads are from Fat Franks on ebay. And looking at them I think he's right. I was gonna make my own, but might buy some to check if they are the same. Here's a link.
Deletehttps://www.ebay.co.uk/str/fatfrankswargaming
Yeah looks like it. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteNo probs OB!
DeleteSome good buys there Ray:). I do wonder if TTS have been hit by the rise and ease of using ebay et al. Back in the day our old club used to hold them about twice a year and they were very popular, but admittedly that was in the early days of the internet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Steve? That was the 1st one I've ever been to?
Delete2mm?? Will you be painting the eyes? Seriously, I have given up on painting everything smaller than 28mm, nowadays. Look forward to seeing what you do with them...
ReplyDeleteYeh 2mm, I painted up a huge WSS army for both sides for the Battle of Almansa that have yet to make it to the tabletop. I'll be adding some reinforcements for both sides or maybe some Austrians.
DeleteExcellent acquisitions there Ray. Phil has Fat Frank roads and they are just the ticket on the tabletop battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThey are rather nice tbh. Think I'll be buying more!
