Cheers Dave thanks for the support mate , im currently getting a 1/6 kit sculpted, hopefully get it cast up in time.
Hopefully it will not be far away like London.
This is going to be a big event and can't wait.
See you all there with or wothout my new sculpt.
It is more of a personel sculpt as i love the caracter and hoefully i can sell enough to get my money back.
I will be posting pics up in the sculptor's forum with progress shots and see if you can recognize who it is.

If we get as many their as the weekend, it should be a good show. We need to get flyers out when we attend memro.

No way was it well advertised as wolfy said no one knew about it.
The least they could have done was put it up on the club house.
Just sellfish i guess.
No wonder the garage kit in the Uk is not amazingly popular this show could get people in the Uk more intrested in the hobby , but if no one bothers to advertise then no one will know.

So please don't get carried away in a stream of bad posts.
This was also posted on the thread regarding the UK recaster. Don't have the link but I can find it later.
We on the SFM:UK stand won "Best club display" in the competition.It was the first time we had ever come together as a group and entered a show.
