Figure World 2013

[Deleted]

Hi Guys,

Some info for you,

Show name – Figure world

Date – Saturday 20th July 2013

Venue – Oundle School Great Hall, New Street, Oundle ( near Peterborough ), PE8 4GH



Over 20 traders attended in 2012, serving everything the figure modeller could want or need. There is a display area for clubs and individuals to display their models which must focus on figure subjects – historical, fantasy or sci-fi.

No competition is planned, the idea of the show being to get figure modellers together to chat, display their models and share ideas in a relaxed atmosphere.

Club displays featured in the past include The White Rose Society, British Model Soldier Society, British Flat Figure Society, Platoon Brittanica, WAMP and The Basement.

Individual displays from modellers are also encouraged, and small groupings of anything from a single figure through to twenty models are commonly seen.

Total models on display in 2012 was approximately 600 pieces with displays from beginners right up to some of the top names from within the British hobby.

Opening times 9:30 until 16:00

Entry into show £3 per person ( £1.50 concessions )

Display space is free of charge, and whilst any pieces larger than 450mm square will be welcome, the organisers would appreciate modellers contacting them prior to the show so that space can be assigned more easily.

Club displays contact – [e-mail]

If Your thinking of coming drop me a line I'll buy the coffee

And i'll see you on the door.

Latest mail out for the Figure World show,





FigureWorld 2013

What, they’re going to do it again ?

Oh no they’re not !

Oh YES they are !

Look, pantomime season may well be long gone, but there’s no reason not to hark back to the freezing days of winter…..or was that last week……Still, it’s nearly Spring, but I digress

So; FigureWorld; same place, same time of year, same people running it.

And yes, yet again it’s going to be brilliant…….Just like it was in previous years !

We’re already beginning to organise this, and just so you can pencil the date into your diary, it’s going to be on Saturday the 20th of July 2013 at Oundle School, Oundle, Near Peterborough. PE8 4GH.

Times for the show will be the same as last year – 9:30am until 16:30pm.

And just like last year there’s a good amount of free parking. There will be a stall with refreshments, lots of traders and enough displays of model figures to please even the most jaded modeller. Yet again there’s no competition to worry about and simply loads of figure modellers in attendance to chat about your favourite hobby with.

So there you go, early warning and “Reason Number One” for returning to FigureWorld in 2013 –

See, even now, we’re just thinking of you !

More info is available on the figureworld website.

The Paintathon.

Yes, we’re doing this again on the Sunday, and hopefully you’ll be able to join us at the FigureWorld venue with some paints, putty or just for a chat.

There isn’t any entrance fee for the Paintathon, the idea being to offer the space for people to come along and paint or sculpt in a group, rather than as individuals at home.

Last year a lot of ideas seemed to get passed around, and different techniques were seen in use – far easier to actually see something done, than trying to explain it to someone in a “Step by Step article.

As we said last time, if you’re travelling down to Oundle, why not make a weekend of it and come along to the Paintathon on the Sunday.

“Reason Number Two” for coming to FigureWorld in 2013 – Look at some models, buy some models, and even get chance to get started on something before leaving for home.

Here's the latest mail out guys,

The Displays

Let’s face it, these are the stars of the show, the whole reason FigureWorld began !

In fact, we think it’s why FigureWorld continues to attract new friends every year.

No competition, no pressure, no judging gaffes; just lots of space to display your models and be able to discuss them and other people’s work with……well…. Other people.

The Basement’s whole idea behind FigureWorld is to get modellers together and talking. To see what each of us does, to talk about why we do it and how we do it, and perhaps to give each other ideas about new projects or types of figure we’d like to tackle in the future.

Struggling with that latest project ?

Can’t quite get the effect you want ?

Just plain difficult to find the motivation to paint ?

All good reasons to chat to people who do what you do – they’ve probably been there before and very probably have a good solution for it.

Obviously we’re contacting the same clubs and forums as last year to support the display area:-
The White Rose Society.
The British Model Soldier Society
The British Flat Figure Society.
Darlington Model Club
Platoon Brittanica
Jolly Bodgers
SouthWest Figure Modellers

But what about those folk from The Basement – now the forum’s closed its doors. Well, that’s no problem, simply because there’s still the same amount of space, and if you’re not a member of one of the above clubs or forums, then you’re welcome to join the main “open” display space – which is part of where the guys running the show will be displaying their models..

So, just like last year, you’re still invited to come along and put on a display of figures, because that’s what Figureworld’s all about.

If you’re a club that’s not been mentioned above, but would like to have space allocated for a figure display, then please contact Robert Lane at [e-mail]

The show is still being held on Saturday the 20th July 2013 at Oundle School, Oundle, Near Peterborough. PE8 4GH.

Opening times for the Saturday will be 9:30am until 16:30pm.

And don’t forget the Paintathon on the Sunday: - 9:30am until 14:30pm

So there you go, “Reason Number Four” for returning to FigureWorld in 2013 – Not only are you worth it, your models are too !
