Salute is back and 50 is the new Sexy! After a break last year, the Salute Wargames Show is back with a bang. Over 5000 visitors streamed through its doors to enjoy a huge variety of amazing games and dozens of top-quality traders. As usual, I shot far too many pictures, but here is a selection of my favorites to give you a flavor of this amazing show.

Thank you so much for the effort you put into this. I probably speak for many of the volunteers who help run the show when I say that we simply don't get the time to see but a fraction of what is happening on the day. (Though I did get to see the spectacular London Bridge game). So, to be able to see the games captured like this is truly fantastic. Thank you again

It was a pleasure, thank you for running it! I quite enjoyed sitting down and reviewing my pictures to remind myself of all the great games that were on display.

Thanks for putting these up Lee, watching the games it brought a lot of smiles. Funny too, down here in New Zealand we just had one of our bigger events over the weekend, Valleycon. In the context of our country a big event, lol 150 participants...watching Salute and your comment of 5000 is like OMG! Love the choice at the venue and lots of inspiration so thanks for covering most, if not all of it.

Yeh, I may do a longer version in future. So many good tables the only way to fit them in and keep the length under control was to cycle the picture quicker. Everything is a compromise when doing these sort of videos.

Awesome sauce! However, showing the stills for longer would give the viewer more time to salivate over the eye candy. Kinda flickered past too fast for me. Couldn't dwell on the love that went into these displays/tables. Thanks so much for sharing Miniature adventures! Nice work kiddo! Sorry to quibble. The point being: Really nice photos, well taken, I wanted to enjoy them more, That's all. Can you do a slow mo' version. So I can dribble longer? Tc hombre and thanks for posting. ...Although I could just use the pause button though tbf. Ignore all the above and have a good self back pat. Mistakes where made by me. Yours, the Quibbler! ;)

@MiniatureAdventuresTV Жыл бұрын

No your right, I could have given the pictures longer. I was trying to keep the overall length of the video down (too long and audience retention drops off), and I was also constrained by the length of the music soundtrack. Every video is a learning opportunity and hopefully I can incorporate what I have learned in the next one. That being said, this has been my best performing video by a country mile, so I'm pretty happy with it. 😆

@JohnSecker Жыл бұрын

@@MiniatureAdventuresTV It's quite odd at a big national show like Salute, where people come from all over the country, and you may see people you haven't met or played against for years, and you stop and say hello and catch up. But then you see a familiar face until you realise that you only know them from KZfaq or a vlog, and they don't know you at all. Quite a lot of familiar faces there yesterday as you'd expect, I saw Richard Clarke of course, Mark Backhouse, Guy Bowers, David Brown all mingling with us mere mortals.

Hello , there's is a way to make modeling a way of life? I mean this is possible in our times to work as a modeler and making money from this for living ?

@MiniatureAdventuresTV Жыл бұрын

I guess a lot depends on whether you want a hobby in the traditional sense of a 'Pastime', or whether you want a career. There's always a way to make money from any hobby, maybe even turn it into a business that pays the bills, but for many tabletop gamers this hobby is their escape from their job, not an alternative to it.
