So, Euro Militaire (Folkestone 20/21 Sept) is a military modelling show, not a wargames event but I went along to have a look, and to contribute some of my flats to a big display the British Flat Figure Society …
My figures are primarily intended for game play so are not as fine as some of the dedicated painter flats … but they pass muster and add diversity.
Anyway, no wargames in process or big battle displays at this show (a pity from my point of view but all the non -trade space is taken up with painting demos and competitions …) …
But you'd find plenty of stuff if you were a 20mm WWII diehard (everything under the sun) … otherwise an amazing array of large scale military figures and military vehicle models.
The paint work on most of the exhibits is breath-taking (way beyond my imaginings) … but anyway, my guess is you like to see some pictures of the flats …
(my little contribution to the BFFS display)
(Eric from Boulogne did those splendid elephants …)
(Ed's colourful battle of Crecy diorama)
(some classical Indians I spotted in the competition)
(a collage of some other snaps from the show)So an interesting day off for me (just figures, everywhere) but I was made very welcome and the BFFS display was a joy to be a part of.
The BFFS* aim to up the visibility and availability of classic flat figures so more can enjoy the unique charm of this traditional figure type.
The website (link above) is full of info and pictures.

(flat figure on a painted backdrop: not all the exhibits were military … this one greatly amused me – and I now have an image to post when the next Ultramodern
politics row breaks out 
!) 
worries about not losing his rules stuff.
