There were various responses to the display game from the public with the eventual news that we didn't win the show because we were playing
the game rather than stop to explain what the display was about.
differing opinions as to the quality from independant reviewers
said, "it was a good display"
"the buildings lacked texture"
"nice figures and vehicles but.."
and so on.
I've learnt my lesson.
a year in the building costing four hundred pounds in materials.
six months painting figures, Tanks etc...another £200.
better to buy resin cast buildings and commercial terrain?
when someone produces Arnhem Bridge and the dutch buildings in 25mm perhaps.
wouldn't it look like every other WW2 Display?
Do the public want a static display or a game in progress?
answers on a postcard please.
Bitter and twisted? you betcha
