My show report 2022

[tay666]

I probably missed it somewhere, but who's produced the Elric?

I think it was Resin Dust.
There was also a single bust of Thulsa Doom that was gone on my 2nd pass.

And that display of the Elric wasn't there at all on Sunday either.

Well, I came close to being done, but not quite.
For now, if you want the dealers room pics - http://www.tylisaari.com/models/shows/wf2022/dealer.htm
And if you want the contest pics - http://www.tylisaari.com/models/shows/w ... ontest.htm
Still have to do the page for the miniatures in the contest. Then my kits, purchases, and review of the show.
But I got most of the 450 pics I ended up with on pages.

• I've been cheating over the last week by using your 2021 URL's and tweaking them . . . all to no avail
  I'll start perusing your hard work tomorrow.
  Good luck with the rest - and (in advance) - much appreciated

Looks like some of the ones you said were "still to do's" are now available.

• • I didn't spot anything I wanted from the dealers tables (other than the 2-year-old Pumpkinhead wallhanger that others took pics of but I didn't spot in yours).
  • There were plenty of people I recognised that I'd one day love to meet though
  • Tons of exceptional stuff in the contest & displays areas - the 4 I kept coming back to were the floaty female grim reaper, the brood Wolverine, the spider battle diorama and the "2nd form" shin godzilla diorama.
  • Your "experiences" page is always the section I enjoy most - so I'm still looking forward to that once you have chance to get it sorted (the link on your main 2022 page currently points to the 2021 details).

Great pics Trev - thanks for all the time & effort so far

My personal favorites from the contest
(which should be obvious from the number of pics I took of them)

Any ETA on your 2022 "OUR WONDERFEST EXPERIENCE" bud?


.

[tay666]

Hopefully by the end of the weekend.
It is in progress. Thur is done, Fri is more than half complete. The page for the painting class is started and about 1/3 done.

The weather here has been nice the last few days, so I have been sidetracked by outdoor activities.
Supposed to start heating up again tomorrow, so I'll probably be in the house most of the weekend, and can finish things up.

Good to hear - it'll be ready when it's ready - no point rushing

Yeah...heaven forbid YOU got out & do some much needed yard work!!

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Yeah...heaven forbid YOU got out & do some much needed yard work!!

I treat yard work like exercise - I can watch people doing it for hours. Besides - not doing it is a great way of annoying the snotty neighbours

[tay666]

That's the great thing about this current house, the yard work isn't bad at all.
About 15 minutes to mow. Very few branches to pick up.

I've actually been out doing stuff.
Sanded and painted the basement hatch last weekend.
Took the dog down to the lake for a couple hours on Wed.
And I have been working on a few kits.

Ah - deadlines - don'tcha just love the "whooshing" noise they make as they fly by?

Well-done Trev - just clearing out some client work and I'll use this as relaxation later this-evening.

Thanks bud

Just a heads-up . . . pics 8 & 9 on your "Saturday" page link to pic 6.

Where are you in the group photo? - I remember the times when we used to add all the names - happy memories

Loved reading that . . . not too detailed, with just the right amount of info to make me feel like I was there (if only!)

Seriously - I really appreciate the effort . . . thanks for all the material & pics you collected and then painstakingly shared . . . you allow us to attend virtually/vicariously

• • (* PS: What's with the elevator complaints? - don't they have stairs in that hotel? *)

Right half of the phote, the guy with the yellow shirt. If you look over his shoulder, that is me throwing back a Molson.

• • (* PS: What's with the elevator complaints? - don't they have stairs in that hotel? *)

There are stairs to the 2nd floor right near the elevators. Other than that, there are only the emergency stairs way down at the far end of either hallway.

Should have guessed - "face obscured by beer - not unusual" - you should add that to the text

Trevor -D-U-D-E!

That was YOUR spider! (I was really diggin' it at the show this year).

Also, congratulations! of the awards you won!

[tay666]

Thank you.

Yes that was my spider. My first toe-dip into the miniature world.
That was the kit at mostly complete. I still have plans to do a diorama base for it, and once I have it situated, add some more highlights and shadows to the spider to make it fit a bit better.
I didn't want to add the highlights while is was sitting flat like that, as I plan to have it coming down a tree so the lighting direction is going to be completely different.

Great summary Trevor. I hope next year to be able to spend my normal time - we didnt get there till Friday afternoon and had to leave Sunday at noon.

[tay666]

We did that our first year, and it sucked having to leave that early.

Hope you can get the full show experience next year.
