Studio scale at the UK RPF Prop meet!

Simon, thats Guy's Y wing, there is a build thread on her here, keep up buddy lol.
I didnt take any, but im sure somebody photographed her, another great paint up!

Lee

I'd just like to add to this if i may, the Studio Scaled Section of the Prop Party was a massive integral part of the whole weekend it was fantastic to see all the public so facinated buy all of your talents.

I cant believe you guys hide away in this Model section and never venture to other parts of the forum, you have so much to offer this board.

Thank you all som much for getting Involved and coming along, you kept the crowds fully informed and educated.

As you all are aware we have been invited to attend some more Events next year, and i will promise that more space will be given to you and you will be allocated an area of your own which is truly deserved. whoever suggested the Display Island for the scaled models was a genuis

Well done guys and once again thank you.

It was an absolute pleasure Simon, thanks for having us mate. Lets go for double the size next year cos lets be honest in 5 years time it'll be our event instead of Memorabilia.

Yeah I know , but they all look so damn fine on the table together. They look great in that light. Maybe a sexy shot of the Y with the falcon out of focus behind? Anyone? Ooohhh!

Definately mate, the Studio scaled Models were so popular that it has to have a bigger influence next time on the display as a whole.

i just wish that i had more time to take a closer look, take more pictures and get to know you all a little better

Simon got it, this is my first time in the public eye, and im hooked, so im in for the haul now bud, and this time ill be doing whole weekends, was really proud to be an RPF member more than ever this past weekend!

Lee

hats off to you guys..
Guy, your photographs look great (it can be pretty damn hard to focus with that kinda stuff and at a given distance.
Lee, did you have the AT-ST standing there on his bare feet (sans stand)!?!? Are you nutty? I can understand being afraid for the Falcon with everything getting closer, but that chicken coulda took a nose dive.
Guy, ...**slobber** the taun looks sooo damn sweet.
All, looking at the table with ALL the pieces.... the total is more than the sum of its parts. its like looking at a pic at the archives....like a big feast and you don't know where to start (looking) first.

congrats

Great work promoting the interest in the models, they will have brought back a lot of happy memories for the many people who saw them. That Falcon looks like a great centre piece, even amoungst all those other treasures. Got to admire your courage in displaying them in those crowded halls though, should have been put behind bullet proof glass or force shields given the amount of man hours you put in on them. The costumes behind them look superb as well. You almost managed a mini Starwars archive prop show! And without Georges approval.

Thanks Simon, we were all busy boys n girls that day. I did mean buy Our event the whole stand not just Studio scale, between the RPF and the other sites it was a show stopper at the event.

I think we have learned a lot from this show to take into the next one.

Next time we will display the Props and models in a much better way.

No matter how many time's i spoke to the event organisor's about us and the space i initially requested, they just didnt get us !!!
the Owner of the event spent nearly an hour talking with me and admiring the displays, he was over the moon with us and actually apologised for not bowing to my demands for more room, and now they understand the need for more space and to a certian extent more security barrier's.

The next event will be bigger and better and on top of that the organisor's will help us more as they understand what we bring to the Event as a whole.

I did my best for you all and in the end it all come together and worked out better than anyone could have expected

Oh Christ !, please photoshop out that guy with the cake !...he's putting me off my lunch..arrghhh!!

Phil

Hi Lee and Guy,

Some really nice photos of really excellent studio scale models there. It was good to meet you both and hope to see you again at some point in the future. It was a brilliant weekend and a shame you couldn't have been there for Sunday too.

Tony

I was pretty down about it all day to be honest Tony, I really wish I had stayed over. Next year for definite, Glad you kept the Falcon and Phil from any harm, at least we had plenty of weapons at hand should it go pear shaped.

See you soon.

1 for breakfast, 2 for lunch and 1 for afternoon Tea.

Guy's check out the main Event Thread, if you need anymore confirmation on how well you did and how your efforts are going to be rewarded its right there in a post from ther EXPO owner himself

Thanks for the pix Phil. Noice.....
