Hi all; After six years of loyal patronage, I canceled my reservation at the Westgate Hotel, which is a relatively short walk to the convention center. I always felt I would rather pay the full night's room rate and be close to the convention, than pay a discounted convention rate and be stuck...

San Diego Comic-con online EPIC REGISTRATION is an EPIC FAIL. The best part of buying for next year was waiting on line for hours or even almost a day. The online preregistration system has taken an arduous, physically taxing but a great communal bonding event and turned it into a cold...

Re: 1st look @ Factory Entertainment CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON fossil hand Just placed my order. Oh well, no installment plans on this one. Plenty of time to skip a few lunches

Re: 1st look @ Factory Entertainment CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON fossil hand A photo in black and white would make your "goofing around" a dead ringer for the original. Waiting for Factory Entertainment to get back to me about their installment pay plans. Been waiting a long time for this...

I really think the judges over at Weta really have their work cut out for them. Each time I check in, the imagination and quality just keeps increasing at the speed of light. Can you imagine what it would've been like if all entries got in by the deadline?

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Just checked out your website and album. I've added you to my contacts. Love the headgear and creatures. Hope to place an order or two for some of your works.

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Even though I just squeaked under the wire with my completed entry, I still have plans on adding a dueling case with accessories to compliment the conversion. Just doesn't really feel Grordbort without it...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS I wasn't sure exactly what 3/4 view meant. I'm guessing that it means kind of from above? This is the first time I think I've finished a project in so short a time. Looking forward to other Grorbort inspired...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Finally recovered from Comic-Con. Getting ready for final coat of paint,a little rust and dust. Imaginations really ran wild with this contest. I highly recommend Grordbort fans get the Weta Collectors guide...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Can't wait to see how he looks from the neck up. Here's to an arsenal of fantastic weaponry to equip a world filled with Scientific Adventure Violence for Young Men & Literate Women.

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Lets see how well this ships. Keeping my fingers crossed, see ya at ComicCon.

Thanks for confirming the info. Price hike? Steep. but rumor mill last year was the xtra cash was to help pay for Convention Center expansion. Registration relocation; Get directions and a map. Three hour window; If you get there before the sun comes up and hopefully registering for 2012 is...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Just found out (and I should've remembered from past experience) lacquer based paints don't react as well with rubber. Which is what the little squiggly piece is on the main body. It is drying though.Just a...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Well, the Rust-oleum spray works on all types of plastics. Takes a good 24 hours before its tack free. Found a coat hook to finish the look of the beast. Now that it's been primed in an anodized bronze, I can...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Just did a test spraying of Rustolium "Brushed Nickel" to see how well it dries on the pieces that fit around the clear tube on the gun barrel underside. I would hope the R & D labs could come up with a paint...
