Hi Anthony and Marc

Thanks a lot guys, I was damn lucky, I came away with a full rack of awards, Commended, Highly commended, 2 Bronze, a silver and my first Gold, well chuffed.

I think Edward got himself a Highly Commended and a Silver for his hard work.

It was a damn good show, and well worth the effort of painting my nuts off...

thanks again

Dave

Thanks a lot guys!

I got a silver for my pilot and 2 commendeds for my hussar and James Bond figure which I'm absolutely thrilled about.

Now what do you make of this? - I had my Latorre Punjab cavalry figure in class 2 which had highly commended on the slip underneath. When I went to collect it I gave the steward my half of the slip in order to collect the slip underneath the model. When I got this back I was shocked to see it wasn't mine - it belonged to another Punjab cavalry figure by someone else. I told the steward who was also shocked and blamed it on photographers. First I was told I couldn't collect my figure as my name wasn't on the slip underneath - this was sorted out quickly. Then they checked the official prize list for class 2 and it turns out that my name had a silver beside it???

Thanks everyone.

Dave, although my name's on the list I'm still not sure it was my Punjab fella that was actually awarded silver! It's a mystery! Congratulations on your awards though, you really deserved them. Hope to see you soon.

There were so many amazing pieces there. Marijn's new Beligan hunter figure was spectacular - one of the most inspiring figures I've seen. I thought Gianfranco Speranza's civil war figure on the rearing horse was awesome too. The large scale German paratrooper (by Calvin Tan?) and an Irish Brigade standard bearer in class 1 really stood out for me too. And the best of show was superb - tanks aren't my cup of tea but I loved this piece of work.

 

[Marijn Van Gils]

Thanks guys!

I finally got some pics of that one now, so I'll post it soon.

The paratrooper was by Jaume Ortiz and truly fantastic. One of the best paintjobs in show, and a great setting also!

Congrats to everyone who entered!
