Mike is another of my old list people. We talked about a number of things including finding out he was at my friend Peter Bergner’s show in Germany. I told him that Peter is still strong in figures. We had both missed the Peter junk boxes. One other thing goes to Warhorse’s website. Mike has a photo of Mike before his table was hit by people who bought many figures he had for sale..

Warhorse Miniature
As noted I sat with Mike and Carolyn of Warhorse Miniatures. It was fun watching Mike sell his figures. The new set of Vikings he has done takes four hours to make one set of eight figures. Mike set up a Saxon village with civilians doing various jobs and fighting poses.

Figures
I took a level shot of Mike’s figures. His figures fit in with Conte and other figures. I will be doing a review of his new Viking figures soon.

Betty and Alan Ford
Finally, the last friends I saw were Betty and Alan Ford. Alan had a number of playsets for sale

Final Thoughts

Mike Pendergast in his review of the show there was a big crowd when the show opened. When I got in twenty minutes I walked right in and it did not seem crowded. It might have the early birds who get in and out or the size of the show. Also, it seemed that playsets were not selling. I did see a person buy a Marx Knight Playset made for dimestores sell. That said I had a great time first buying for resale and seeing old and new friends. Mike and Carolyn were so nice to let me sit and rest. I will be back next year.

    Nice report, Paul. Looks about the same as last year except the dynamic trio of Pat, Dan and Tom were there! They always tell me at Wheeling that Wheeling is the only show they do, and I kept telling them to add Gettysburg since they all live in Pennsylvania. So NOW they show up and I was not able to! Will see all four of you at Wheeling in June I hope. Mike H

    Good review! It’s fun to be able to put faces with the names. I can’t ever make these shows, so I really appreciate the photos and comments.

    Knock-knock…anyone else out there still collect “toy sojers”? This is a great site to post if you do.
    Face Book ( Butt book)…Ugh, forget it.
    Come back to the real deal. Dig some figs/accessories out of the ol’ collection and share it here.
    Conversions…dioramas…?
    To “channel” Erwin Sell 0n his characteristic sign off “My Thoughts”…I say, ” My 2-cents: and I’ve spent it.”
