The FIGZ Promo Team was on site again - I was allowed to come along again, even though I still don't speak Dutch. But Benno was on a business trip and unfortunately couldn't make it this time.
The set-up is now routine.
Hans should bring his Cambrai diorama again, which is always an eye-catcher. Even though it has been "under construction" for some time now.
In the end, our stand was again very large and we were able to show a lot.
Unfortunately, we were sitting quite far apart and couldn't chat as much during the day. It was as if the teacher had separated us.
Of course, Remco's - now I almost wrote Smurfs - Romans were often admired.
Even the organizing staff took photos in front of the first visitors. By the way, there are now almost 600 of them.
Many visitors with a more technical interest were once again very curious about Martin's input on 3D printing. He had to answer many questions and both printers were running all day.
Martin had printed a Humber Mk.II for me, which I then painted during the two days, including a crew member getting an overview in Normandy in the morning.
I had brought some of my tabletop armies with me, especially many Napoleonic figures, e.g. my 1st Prussian Corps from 1815.
Then the visitors came and streamed into the halls. The questions we were asked were often the same as last year, but we were there to answer them again.
"Are the figures from the 3D printer? "How long does it take you to paint a figure - approximately?" "You need a steady hand, don't you?" "Wow, so many details!" "Well, I couldn't do it, I don't have the patience!"
The opportunity to paint figures was again very popular with some of the younger visitors. But there was also a woman (not in the photos) who painted a figure with great calm and patience. Maybe she will appear in the forum one day...
It was another great two days for us. I hope it works out again next year, because it's already a fixed item on the annual program.
By the way, I dusted off a few more figures and even painted some.
And in the evening we enjoyed the local specialties: Schnitzel, Schnitzel, Schnitzel and Schnitzel. But they were very tasty!
