SALUTE 2008: A small diversion...

Comin' at ya through the Docklands!

A slight diversion from the 18th century... I'm heading off to Salute 2008, the big wargames convention in London tomorrow with some of the club. It'll be the first time I've been there but I hear it's pretty good. It'll also give me a chance to sell a few items at their famous bring & buy sale. A regiment of 25mm ACW Union infantry is up for grabs, along with some painted (but not based) Gallic warriors. I'll also be selling the eye-monster aliens shown above. Scratch-built, they were inspired by the creatures described in Robert E. Heinlein's novel Starman Jones, a childhood favorite.

I love these aliens! We're talking Sci-Fi B-movie thrills galore here. They're gorgeous. You're quite talented.
