Partizan haul a little bit of shopping

 Shopinnnnggggg

Finally back home from my first ever Partizan and what a blast it was. I managed to get a great amount of supplies and miniatures from Partizan and photograph it. First up I did have a lot in pre order and some was paid for back in January (my Christmas shopping time), so could be packed and sent in time for my return from Australia and has been sitting at Shaun’s awaiting pick up at this Partizan, particularly as the customs duties to France are punishing if the value is high……oh well Brexit continues to hurt UK small wargaming businesses. 


AB miniatures

20mm American Para, artillery crews and vehicle crews

Ready to Roll 

Raventhorpe British airborne jeeps 

Alder miniatures 


20mm American para, British airborne vehicle crews, German vehicle crews


Early War Miniatures 

Early War Miniatures, British artillery bits

EWM Dutch hussars and artillery crews 

Belgian Hussars, cyclists frontiers and some AA crew

Books

First up we met Harry Sidebottom, and received signed copies of his books, a thrill as I have been reading the stories of Ballista since his first one. 




A lot of books, a lot of these were from my mate in Wales who is clearing his library, but a great selection available and cheap! Even my wife purchased two. 


Old Glory

Two packs of French casualties and wounded for markers for my revolutionary -1809 French army


Gripping Beast 


28mm Gothic cavalry so I can compete my goth cavalry units. 

Foundry miniatures


Imperial Roman Command, praetorian shields, gladiators 

Random stores and Hinds miniatures 


Imperial Roman’s, dark age skirmish types, goths, Bolt action Dice, random truck loads, glue, paint and clippers 


ABC Paint brushes 


First time trying the Pro art series, picked up work horse acrylic and sable they are a great price 

Warbases 


Always need these, possibly should of purchased another 20 or so for my Napoleonic casualties 

Plastic kits 


I had to rescue two Horsa gliders and a German fighter for a tenner

ww2 new kits and a modern jet for my Cold War warpac.


Resin bits 


Bridges from Kallistra, really nice and suitable up to 28mm 

So a huge haul, only a little over budget, a lot of painting ahead of me! 

Cheers
Matt

    1. Not a crazy amount, but enough to keep me busy for a time! 4 years of no convention purchases built up I think

  2. It's a good thing you brought your car along, always good to buy in bulk, I'm reading the Digby Smith Leipzig 1813 at the moment and really enjoying it, although it is tempting me into buying maybe a small Prussian force...!
