I'm excited because Dan is taking our four Tommies on the Somme vignette.
I wish he was taking me with it

'morning Roger
excellent, i didn't konw that a part of you is there so.
Is it for the contest or just to show it ?

PS: are you ready for the crunch ?

Bonjour Seb, to tell the truth I don't know if Dan is entering it into the competition or just displaying it. Just that it is there is enough for me.

I'm ready for the crunch, I just hope the England team are.

Just got back home from chicago.What a show.I think there were way more
entries this year. Seeing peoples work in person vs.photos is mind blowing.
Photography does not capture people's style as does seeing it in person.
Steven Mallia and Jay Hollopeter are the 2 that come to mind.Dan Tisconcik
was the Chicago Medal winner and Mike Blank was Best of Show.Chris Mrosko's Saturdat seminar on armor weathering was informative and entertaining.Who would guess a weathering techique would be "nose grease"
The weakness of the US dollar was really apparent with the vendor prices,but
I bought some great items

Just pulled in last night at about 10 PM. What a great time! I was especially excited about meeting some of the great folks from here on the Planet. Jay, it was a pleasure, sorry I got dragged away, next time we'll have to talk some more. I met Wendy, Steven Malia, John Bowery, Glen Hamilton, I'm sure I've missed some, but all were a an absolute pleasure to meet and talk with! Thanks guys for the opportunity to talk figure with you all!

It was a great show with many entries, and as Jay mentioned, all the entries look so much better in person. The quality of the show was quite good. I was impressed with the high standard of Ordinance entries especially. I'm with Jay on the prices in the vendors area, but was able to pick up a couple beauties to bring home and work on, as well as some of those absolutely beautiful Thomas Art bases to put them on. Chicago is a great show and what a fantastic town it is as well. Good food, good hopitality and over all a real fun time! I have over 300 pictures to sort through, I'll see about getting them up as soon as possible!
