Some great stuff shown there. Thank you.
Really love that Cheshire Cat, gonna have to find out who makes that kit.

Those definitely look like Andy Cope's work. I love his take on subjects.
This reminds me that I need to look him up on FB again, I haven't seen much of his work in my feed lately, so I need to go [like] a bunch of his posts to reset the algorithm again.

Glad you enjoy the pictures, it's a small but growing scene over here. We have some very talented sculptors and producers over here and I felt the standard of painting on display was very high.
The Cheshire cat is still available from Dave Nicholson at KillerKits/ Creature Features and I believe the Blues Brothers is indeed by the hand of Andy Cope

It was a great day, the only dedicated event of its kind for our hobby in the UK. Lots of super and inspiring work to be seen, along with the latest and up and coming releases. It was the first time I've had a display table and taken my efforts to a show like this and it was great to get feedback and put faces to names. The icing on the cake, I scored a vintage kit from the dealer next to me, released by JayDee back in the mid 90's.

Johnathan Dewar was one of the UK's pioneer sculptors, casting his own kits as well I believe. This one is of George Clooney as Seth Gecko in Dusk till Dawn, armed with his vampire drill seen in the final battle, a great likeness and pose and very good casting for its day. Coming to the workbench soon!

JayDee is still sculpting, with the focus on his own designs, beautiful work. Often mythical women, he's like another Michaelangelo, check out his work on his Facebook page if you aren't familiar with it.

Cheers,
Paul
