Does anyone have any information as to who makes the Pirate Girl kit seen in the contest?

Unless I'm mistaken, the Pirate Girl is called Belladonna, and she's one of "Filmy's Girls" produced by Marc Havican at Space City Models.

Stormheart- Thanks very much for the information, I appreciate it.

Sent you a PM

Many thanks for the links to all the wonderful builds in the competition area, some incredible talent and skill on display there.
Does anyone have pics of the dealer tables, I always love seeing these as it helps keep up to speed with what's out there

Cheers,
Paul

I have a bunch of dealer table pics, will post as soon as I get them sorted out.

Ok, so I did some looking around on YouTube.
Found a few videos from the show.

This is a walk around the dealers room, though it is a little zoomed in, so it's hard to follow sometimes, or see stuff

Another look at the contest room with a nice blend of video footage and still images

He also has other videos that seem to be more hardware oriented from the show, so I didn't watch them.

Oh yeah. While working on photos, I found this one that Spike might be interested in

That looks nice. Small scale I'm guessing?

Thank-you kind Sir! - and to the video takers & uploaders of course! ( © BucWheat 2022 )

Currently wading through them . . .

• • That 1st one is a bit hard on the eyes (close-up and a bit blurry) - but I still appreciate the effort.
  
  • The 2nd one is 23 mins long (competition room starts at 2:43) but is excellent quality & REALLY shows the displays at their best (nice relaxing music too).
  
  • The 3rd one was uploaded by the same person who did the 1st, and he captured a few pieces that were not in the 2nd vid.
  
  • The 4th one - This one filled in a few more gaps. Jason/Scott/GreyT cameo at 3:37 and possibly the back of Shane 3 seconds later? Recognised a few others too.

The level of talent on display was phenomenal, there were quite a few pieces that I wish the camera had dwelled longer on. Amazing stuff.

Yeah, it's one of Black Heart's small scale pieces.

BTW - I still find it kind of humorous that George either does the full sized wall-hangers / busts, or he does the miniature stuff.

I watched CG Blade video I got see what I wanted.
Strange, that person selling those grey zone alien , predator and drac skull
never seems to sell them .. I saw them last year..
Probably asking too much..

[tay666]

Yeah, I don't know what his prices were, but I've seen them a few years in a row now.

[tay666]

FYI - I am now about half way through my pics. Got about 450 left to go through in the contest.
So, unless something goes horribly wrong, I should have the website updated by Sunday night.

Geez that's a lot of photos!

Ah - but how many in focus? . . . for therein lies the riddle of zeal

A surprisingly large percentage.
Seems I figured out the problem. Mainly, not being used to lithium batteries. If I leave the camera on too long, the battery heats up, which slows the camera down, and causes the blurry images. This year, I picked up a spare battery and would swap them out every so often. Thus allowing the battery to cool down.

Spare lithium battery swaps are tight!

That fourth link was from 2019. i kept trying to think when I had spoken to the people at the front table on sunday without losing my #$#$#$# on them and noticed that it was from 3 years ago.

[tay666]

Thanks for catching that shane. I only briefly browsed it.
