"York Show and comment from EWM" Topic

The show at York is a great wargames show, one of the best in this country I think. Why? Well, the organising club does a great job of making you feel welcome, helping load and unload the van, great coffee early in the show morning and creates a great atmospher to enjoy this hobby of ours. Great looking and fun games, rent a table style bring and buy, good mix of traders. Plus york is a really nice city and the venue is well lit, plenty of space for trade and public so there is no cramped feeling. space to meet friends and chat.
We have been trialing a new display in our trade space in that we mount some of the newest things we make, along side prototypes of work in progress, well lit, central to our stand. We operate a large, open, set of self serve display racks and Peter and I stand in the trade space to answer questions, help customers and generly be helpful where we can. The new Italians were formost in this display area.

It attracted the attenstion of some one whose work I totaly admire, Mr Anthoney Barton, designer, creator and owner of AB figures. His words of praise for what we are doing with the new Italians made my day, thank you Tony. praise does not come any higher than that.

Peter and I had a very busy show, meet loads of our wonderful customers who we normally only exchange emails with, had some awsome conversations with customers. Thank you for you words of praise, encouragement, support and thank you for your business.

Great post! Not at all my period but I love the donkey or mule towed artillery! Are they on the website?
Kind regards

Lots of lovely stuff , those 259 Neu look very nice. The Italians……… just tremendous!

Need to keep to the old maxim though;

"Wack it on the website!"

Thanks for sharing – enjoyed seeing the photos. Wish I could have been there to partake.

Love the Italians

Any chance of Vickers Medium I have seen on previous "Kitchen Table" photos being available for Bournemouth?

Will be there and can pre order if need be

EWM has excellent figures. I usually complete 1:72 plastics with their figures specialists, as they suit well together.

I still wait for early war Brits with caps LMGS and Vickers.

Thanks for spending some time with me discussing your Italian range and how to make some suitable for the Russian Front. Much appreciated.

Congratulations upon a successful show. A labour of love, a passion and hopefully a successful financial venture. Now, that is how to present your product and mix with your customers and admirers. 20mm is spoilt for choice, and wish you would scale up to 28mm…I'd love to add those Italians to my N Africa campaigns. Thanks!

Any chance of producing the Italian P26/40? It's one of my unicorns…

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Mr Chokidar, not yet but they will be very sson.
Dave, thank you. I'm rather pleased with the 259.
Mr Kabrank, yes, I could make you a kit, no instructions or label yet, but they are dead easy to build. Pm me for details and see you there?
Mr Umpra, well yes, they will come and I'm looking at launching the British for Middle East/East Africa INTERWAR this year. Many are done, I just never got round to adding them to the store!
DeepHorse, it was a pleasure, as is always talking to our customers or people interested in our designs and models. Cheers
condatra – thank you so much for your kind observations. Unfortunately, never going to do 28mm as my love and passion is for 20mm,ever since I was 7. But thank you.

Looking forward to seeing again them at the Phalanx show in St Helens. My first ever wargames show and 500 metres from where I live.

See you there, it's a great show and one I look forward to every year. Helped by the stay over with one of our friends and fellow wargames. Always a pleasure, especially his local pub the evening before!
