Thanks for sharing those. SELWG always used to be one of my regular shows, but since they brought it back, it always seems to conflict with family and other engagements :(
Anyway, some nice pics of some great looking games there.
Although looking at the pic of the Gravesend game, I do wonder why groups bother to take such an uninspired table to a showcase wargames event... ::)
I guess for some people the visual / asthetic qualities will always be secondary to pure game itself...

To be fair, that was not the most 'uninspired' table there.

There was a naval game which consisted of some ships on what appeared to be two cotton sheets.
(Complete with obvious seam in the centre of the table).

It may well have been a great game to play, I do not know, but visually it was certainly 'uninspiring'....

As yar68 has demonstrated, though, there was still plenty of eye candy.

The Crawley table was fantastic. Lovely people too. They had a little crib sheet of unusual minis to spot on the table.. Including Tintin and snowy, a German flying off this motorbike, a firing squad etc... Lovely to look at and they were super friendly and very pro children. My hat goes off to them.  A sterling effort.

I only had time for a quick look round but the Crawley game was the stand-out one for me as well...:
