Well, euro was great

Sandwiches weren\'t seven quid
But you could get some real, nice fish and chips for that . . .

Rob (Orb) got a silver
Adrian got 3 golds, 2 fantasy and 1 historic
And I got a bronze in civilian (That\'s NOT fantasy)

Now I just hope GD don\'t clash next year

Wow congratulations on your success (Adi, Rob, + Conrad). What pieces did you win with?

Also in September is a small little costal event called Euro Militaire
It\'s held in the quaint town of Folkstone over two days so no-one has to rush

First order of business is to take some figures
I\'d done one of Degra\'s sculpts, but still hadn\'t got a plinth for it

It was nice weather
And the entrance to Lea\'s Cliff Hall looks like a small dome
The hall is more impressive from below though

The queue is smaller than GD (Thank . . .)
And after a brief buying spree getting a plinth
We have the exhibition hall, where figures are laid out so you can see them !!

Now, euro has quite a vehicle entries

But didn\'t take me long to find the fantasy section

You can expect to see this fantastic giant slayer on CMoN soon I expect
His excellent 2007 entry can be seen here http://www.coolminiornot.com/170051
The giants eye was painted, not an artificial one . . .
Look for a range of kits from the guy soon, should be excellent

And next up is the Best of Show

My \"civilian\" entry got to share the category with Ruina\'s new cowboy piece

And there were lots of other inspiring entries

The flats were impressive

There were small pieces

And large

And some fine pieces in the club room

I met Phil Stutcinskas
(I had to get the Imperial Armour model masterclass book out to check the spelling . . .)
Thanks for the time, I really hope GDUK and Euro don\'t clash next year

And on the Saturday \"The Basement\" guys got to share a great lunch with the Pegasso crew
Excellent cheese, meat, wine and GRAPPA !!

And your piece, Conrad? Can\'t see it (except in that photo at the top, but it\'s tiny there)!! :]

Seems like a great show! I really wish I could have been there...

All the years I have been involved in Euro what amazes me is no matter how bad the summer has been the sun always shines on EURO !
It was great to see C.M.O.N.ers there and the Fantasy class was great.We will see if we can get it split into 2 carergories
for next year.
Lets hope it doesnt class with G.D.

GOD bless .......v
