UK Mini painting organisation

[Roger Bunting]

Okay, I must apologise at not saying Hi to people on Liz\'s behalf. I guess that means a trip to the Freak Bar basement for me then.

@Squig. The shop closed at 4 but Bugman\'s was still open. We passed you on the way to the train station. Just where did your parents park the car, or were you walking all the way back to London?

for me its slightly expensive to get to WW, maby try some thing a little more south, say london, thats easy to get to, i\'ve only been to WW three times, and it took two year no pocket money to pay back..

As as been mentioned chief there will be a gathering at Games Day but also no doubt Salute .. and others around the country so hopefully you should be able to get along.

@darklord . Thanks a ton for the lift you are one of lifes Gentlemen...

@gobboteef.. That\'s who you were .. although to be honest if you\'d told me your username was Gobbo teef I still wouldn\'t have been clear on who you were .. I\'m a bit of a brick like that.

@sg2009 Sam You should have given me a slap on the head or a shout or something matey .. The first event where I actually managed to get there and we still didn\'t have a chat..

At times I\'ll be honest it got a bit confusing who was at the event and who was a WW customer who had been drawn towards the eye candy....

Yo! it was great to meet alot of the guys and gals, I wish id get their earlier but delays set me back an hour and it took me 5 (yes 5!) hours to get home, 9 hours travel total, who\'d though Liverpool was so far away lol

thanks to all for brining all some fantastic minis down and thanks to all for the kind words i received about my stuff! :beer:

also who made the free magic sculpt offer to me? am so crap with names! lol

 

[Roger Bunting]

Are you on any of the photos? I didn\'t speak to you so I don\'t know who you were.

Have to agre it did feel like that at times
It was still a great day though, just wish it could have been a lot cooler in the hall.

@As for extracting the Micheal out of the photos of Nigel, for those that missed it think yourself lucky you didn\'t see him handling his own figures...I didn\'t know whether to cry or hit him when he picked his demon up by the wing and handed it to me as if it was a biscuit.

@Mike where did you get that other photo of Squig from??? the resemblance is amazing lol

Have to admit though he is a talented little devil and if he is intending to enter unbloods this year then stand by for his head to swell even more.

I\'ll post a few more photos of other peoples stuff a bit later right now I need to sort out the GIMP Article and get that posted as it is proving to big a file to post to people so I am going to put it into the articles section here

 

[Darkmessiah]

big guy, yellow t-shirt, ginger beard (as mr poleaxe inadvertently pointed out ) i had my stuff right next to tim cook\'s and the delightful amazon warrior and i had my spartan and true scale sculpt with some orks anime girl and a few other bits

Well then, I did see you, as I was standing right next to you at times. lol In fact my 4 grey knights and a mini of Fieldarchy\'s (the waggameuff) I brought along were on the same table, next to Amazon Warrior\'s.

i did think you were going to have a heart attack when he grabbed that deamon by the wings!!

@rob, no problem mate, was worth it to pick your brain!!

 

[Talonicus]

I am SO sad not to have been there, spent most of the day being beaten up by 2 year olds (like I was attacked by a tribe of Nigel\'s) at my god-daughters b\'day party.

Good do! Feel like I missed an important event.

 

[Roger Bunting]

It was good and I think it will get even better as more people get to know each other and the word spreads.

A shame you couldn\'t make it but one day I will add you to the list of folks in the mini-painting world that I will have spoken to.

 

[Undave]

I\'ve been talking to OrkyDave and Andy the GW Cov manager today and he\'s going to get in touch with the manager of the Sutton Coldfield battle bunker and see if we can arrange a local West Mids meetup in a few months time. We\'ll see if we can get a few more of the locals on board, there must be some good painters in and around Brum.


And if there aren\'t, there will be when we get finished with them

 

[War Griffon]

Well for those that are after the GIMP article it is now done and awaiting the attention of a moderator as after saving it I can\'t find a button to upload it so I am presuming it gets flagged at this point to a moderator who then approves it

I have also finished adjusting the rest of the photos that I took, some I am happy with a few of Mike\'s I am not so I won\'t show the ones I am not happy with

Anyway here are the others from those that brought figures to me to photograph

 

[squidders]

THAT BLOODY BIG GREEN DEMON... It\'s always there to rub my nose in it! lol

The Event was brilliant, great fun to meet all the people and have a chat. And the standard of painting was incredibly high.
UNDERSTATEMENT of the Year!
Even Dragonsreach, although he and his mustache scare me, I am utterly conviced that it is sentient and leads a life of it\'s own. Dammit Mike I like my fingers!
I\'ll have you know that there\'s nothing wrong with my \'tache.
Ok granted it\'s ten years older than Freakinacage, but so what...
As for your fingers well.....time and GamesDay will tell :evil::twisted:

*Edit* P.P.S Mike (Dragonsreach) you git!
I don\'t know what you mean..:innocent:

Surely not this photgraph of you and your twin. :innocent:
