Well, its less than a week to FigureWorld and the excitement amongst The Basement team has begun to rise to pretty high levels, we are making plans to meet for set up on the day before so we can be all ready for you all when you arrive.
One thing that has been the subject of one or two chats over at TB amongst the team is the display and what it should or shouldn't contain with the aim of the show to bring figure modellers together, so we between us have authored a set of rules to let everyone know whats can be accepted and what can't, the guys in charge of the display area will be able to give you a definitive answer on the day if your unsure of a model, if they says its OK then its OK, if they say the opposite then well I am sure you will understand, especially as we are expecting modellers of all ages.
If you have any questions about the rules then please contact us either through the forum or webzine
The rules are at the end of this mail and on the webzine at http://www.tbfm.co.uk and at the forum on http://www.tbforum.co.uk
We also promised a list of traders on the day so here it is:
Maelstrom Games….their shop is on site and well worth a roam round, you will be surprised at the extent of some of the ranges and they carry extensive basing materials.
ElGreco Miniatures…..Matt and Celine need no introduction to most who are coming, some great models to be had on their stand, some of them from Matt's own hand, they are friendly and always go that extra mile for their customers.
SKMiniatures…a lot of us have known Steve for years as a modeller now he has turned supplier he's got ranges everyone likes to buy, his stand will be worth a visit.
Hawk Miniatures.. Jon stocks a great range of busts and one or two unusual things if your bag is Busts especially First World War then have a look he will have something to tickle your fancy
Victory Miniatures…Great range of large scale figures mainly from the Napoleonic era, these figures look great painted up
MDC. A range of busts that covers from Zombie Romans through to Fantasy and sci-fi pilots with everything in between, with accessories too for your figure building, have a look you just might find that tool your missing.
So lastly we thought we would like to make sure you know a few things, like a reminder of the times, the event is open from 10am to 5pm on the 10th July
Maps and all information such as Hotels are available on the webzine at http://www.tbfm.co.uk, theres a link at the top of the page to FigureWorlds own area.
The last thing is to remind you to bring your figures for display (remember that Bust) and that if you have any question please ask one of the organising team and if they don't know they will quickly find out for you.
Have a safe journey all, make sure you say HI when you get there.
The Basement Team.
Rules For Display Figures
1) The Figures have to be main focus of the piece.
The term figure covers all models depicting either single life forms, or their derivatives, and machines built in their likeness. Figures will be accepted from all genres, Historical, fantasy and Science Fiction.
2) Vehicles... can be displayed as long as they have a relevant number of crew alongside them, causing the crew to be the main feature as per point one.
For instance a Tiger II has a crew of 5... if all 5 are available, and shown in some interaction, replenishing the tank, repairing a track, in essence its a diorama where the crew are shown to be doing an activity etc.. This is allowed
3) Single Person modes of transport, including vehicles, animals etc.
As with the vehicles, the figure has to be the main focus of the piece, the rider can either be off or on the beast/vehicle.
4) Armour, as in suits be they powered or not.... The thing here is that the armour suit has to be a dedicated suit of armour to the person wearing it, its his/its armour....
5) Nudity, - No full nude figures will be allowed, as also no Topless female figures, any figure clothed or not that is deemed to sexually offensive will not be allowed.
6) Horror and Violence, whilst we know that this area is part of the hobby, models accessed as showing either too much violence and or too horrific will not be allowed to be displayed.
