FIGZ: only one week left!

Part of one of the three rooms

Only seven days left until FIGZ 2011! I'm very excited, what about you? :-D

Last week I prepared one of the three rooms and realized it's really going to be big! Definitely the largest 1/72 scale and smaller event ever organized in the Netherlands!

Yesterday the eight wargame demo was confirmed. Bert van Hal and Henri Anemaat from wargame club Militia Brabantia (link) will play a 15mm American Cival war demo using the Fire & Fury ruleset. An impressive wargame of 2.40x1.80 metres!

Maurice Bos (link) and Johan van Ooij (link) have been added to the Bring & Show list. Both will bring some of their work to show at FIGZ.

  1. You know you keep writing "free entrance" ?
    Does that mean I can take the doors home with me?
    Cheers

  2. One of the three rooms? Is that the one for Paul and me? And the two others are they big enough for the others? :-D

    It looks great Benno! See you next week ;-)
