Jerseyfest Show News - Lorne Peterson & More !

[moonlightdrive2]

Hey guys:

I don't think I could possibly have more exciting news for our show...

We are honored to have Lorne Peterson attending as one of our special guests at the Jerseyfest Model Kit & Statue Fair in September in New Jersey. Not only will attendees be able to meet Lorne, but he'll also be doing presentations on his past model making at ILM Studios, which of course includes Star Wars, plus his current and future projects, and his terrific book "Sculpting a Galaxy - Inside the Star Wars Model Shop". I know the large majority of you know very well who Lorne is and what his legendary accomplishments are, but I still would like to share some background information on him:

Our show has grown tremendously in the "Sci-Fi vehicle models" area this year, and will continue to grow in the coming months. I will be posting big announcements soon about numerous show activities that will be occurring all weekend long. They include involvement from elite artists and companies that many of you know, some of which are members of this forum. We are going "top shelf" for this show so that all who attend will have a great time and have the opportunity to see and buy great models, supplies and collectibles, as well as learn from other great artists.

As with all shows, vendors and artists are subject to change.

Much more info to come. Love this hobby!

The Jerseyfest Model & Art Contest will feature a very special award called the "Lorne Peterson Best Star Wars Kit" award. Lorne will be at our show all weekend long and will be picking out the winning kit, which can be any completed Star Wars vehicle model kit (resin, plastic, scratch built, diorama, etc.) entered in the contest. The award is a beautiful, big, vertical standing plaque with a shimmering blue tint, which will be autographed by Lorne. He will announce the winner and hand the person the plaque during the Jerseyfest Contest Awards Ceremony. We will take a photo of Lorne handing the award to the winner so that the special moment can be captured for a lifetime for that person. The contest and Awards Ceremony will be held during the vendor show on Saturday, September 14th, and will feature many other awards and prizes, including numerous awards for vehicles and mecha models. More info about the contest will be posted in the coming weeks - see all the latest here: Model & Art Contests & Exhibits » JerseyFestFair

Great show guys. Thanks to Dave and the team!

Definitely a great time. I particularly enjoyed being able to finally meet and talk with Frank (Moebius Models), Drew (Crows Nest Models), Alfred Wong and so many others that I've come to know through the boards and our hobby. this is as close to Wonderfest I've ever gotten and it's humbling to see the talent out there. Kudos to everyone involved. Can't wait until next year.
