Well that was a VERY pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. So much eye-candy and at a VERY high standard. The ingenuity, artistry and talent on display was wonderful to take in.

It was a lot of the hardware that caught my eye this year for some reason :arrow: the time machine (wow!), DS9, the Star Trek "log", the docked Star Trek ship (with the tiny Space 1999 shuttle on top (lol) . . . the list of jaw-dropping pieces went on and on and on.

There were TONS of the monster, girly & other figure kits that were stunning too. All of our Jon's work of course included, and that Babylon 5 Shadow alien was awesome!

As regards prospective purchases, I may end up getting that Pumpkinhead wall-hanger and a few of MVT/Paul's busts. I wish I was more into the genre's that Jesse releases, because his stuff is of such an OTT standard I could just stare at unbuilt sculpts!

There were a few faces I didn't see - but LOTS I recognised :D



Big thanks to the latest folks that took the time to take all the photos and post them for us all to see:
    • Rodger (very nice to scroll through)

      Steven (now photos of you are not so rare - GREAT to see your face again even if I wasn't there to meet you)

      Paul (post some more Bro!!)

      Jesse (geez dude - that's a LOT of photos - GREAT job man!)

      Trev (most WERE in focus :) )

      Buc (for adding the latest batch of links to his page (as long as you don't use Firefox :P ) - along with those that posted the original albums Buc links to

Not as good as being there - meeting you folks would have been so special - but it got me part of the way towards feeling like I was there.

Was Marc there this year? - I can't remember if I saw his tables in any of the photos. There were a few other faces I didn't see - but LOTS I recognised :D .
Yes, he was there, with his normal stellar pieces.
Sadly, that section of the dealers room didn't really come out for me in photos this year.
I only ended up with 8 in-focus pics from that whole middle right section of the room.
(tables 98-116)
Think maybe I had had the camera on too long so it was lagging a bit when shooting, which would cause the blur.

This was the only one from Marc's table

Many thanks for the amazing images, it's great to get a flavour of the whole event! For us modellers in the UK that can't get there it's a real treat to get blasted with the eye candy of dealers room and contest builds. Looks an awesome show and on the bucket list to get there one day!

Cheers,
Paul

This cracks me up...of the 3 full size kits (including this years release of “Charge!) and 4 busts for sale on Marc’s table, the only picture is of a Walter White bust (that wasn’t even produced by Marc) from his personal stash that he had for sale.
And BTW, that’s my son Robert in the picture with his head in his hand...

You need to have an intervention for him Randy - that's the biggest cup of coffee I've ever seen :shock: :)

Buc's added Norbert's link to his "Past Shows", so I've copied it here for y'all :arrow: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124306931 ... 024943706/ (370 awesome pics)

Getting closer to having my contest pics done. Hopefully by the weekend.
I've whittled down the 560 raw pics to just 170 left to go through.

Now I just have to get the display photos done, and it should be a wrap.

"Preston" is one of the Seattle guys. Every year he spends Sunday morning taking pictures; this year he had a bit of trouble with focus, but managed to save about 400 pics, which I posted on my Flickr account for the edification of the general public. ;)

No problem. Just glad I got them all done in a reasonable amount of time this year :D

Now if I could just say the same for all the other photos waiting on my harddrive to eventually go on my website.
