Point to note, a big drop off in Traders. I've been attending this show for many years and the gaps where traders would normally be was noticeable. Wether its just the trade dropping off and retiring ? or maybe not worth while for some ? Although the que was impressive to get in. There was still a small que at 11am and people paying to get in when i left at 1pm.

@@OW... I'm not sure on the amount of traders as this was the first year I've attended but from what I've read/seen a lot of wargames companies are stepping away from shows now which is a shame. I wonder if it's the cost of set up, travel, accomodation etc as some travel from quite far away. Great Escape Games for example are nearly a 5 hour drive away 😱 great to see them there though so glad they attended 😅 We only stayed a couple of hours then headed home about half 12 and there was still people heading in.

Hi. Warbases do some nice acrylic bases. A tip to stop the frosting is to be armed with a cotton bud and methylated spirits. As soon as any frosting appears get to work with the cotton bud. Now full disclosure I have bought MDF bases from Warbases but never tried the acrylic frosting tip which I picked up on a model railway channel. If all else fails saloons floors would have a liberal covering of sawdust. Hope that works.
