Amazing stuff there for sure...

Are plain black bases the new "vogue" or is it some kind of requirement for Euro?

Tom - Certainly not a requirement but more of a fashion thing and much of the armour and larger vignettes tend to go this way - I think the plain gloss black plinth was first really promoted by the Scandinavian modelers this side of the pond and the fad has crept south

Great pictures Dan - very nice, thanks for posting

I admit, it does look good...but so much for my groundbreaking "original" idea for the base of my wedgie...

Totally amazing works!!

[merseajohn]

Yeah great shots, I don't have any that havnt been shown, and I only had my camera phone anyway. Fantastic work on display but for me though it was meeting up with the guys from here more than the show itself. Thoroughly good fun with a great bunch of guys, I couldn't stop laughing lunchtime saturday on the balcony!

Dan,Tim,those are some fantastic pics .Thanks for sharing.

Excellent time at Euro although not a lot of drunken madness this year.Excellent stuff on show.I was blown away with the figures on display.All categories had mind boggling work in.What can i say guys but a massive thankyou to all that liked my diorama. It was a dream getting gold at Euro and one i didnt really think i would get.smile p

I dont know what happenened but i originally had Silver for the diorama which i was over the moon with and certainly did not complain about. Then i was up on our Milmod stand and Dan B came up to congradulate me on my gold.I dont think so Dan ,its a Silver. Unless i am colour blind Andy its a gold said Dan. As you can imagine i went down to the comp room very slowly to check this out wink 2and yep Gold. I was floored with the news.Thankyou who ever were responsible for upgradeing it.I was called up to the main stage and asked not to leave before the prizegiving by the main judge and he also imformed me that i had been upgraded to gold for an exceptional piece of work.I didnt ask why i just said thank you very much as i was a bit dazzled by it all.
On the prize giving a Korean lad stood next to me won about ten golds.Crazy.

I saw a number of others upgraded also like Robert Doepps awsome diorama to name just one.

I had a wonderfull time at the weekend with all my mates old and new (Mac,Ken,MrsMac,Carl,jackwagon, Chris, John and Rob to name a few. It was great to meet and have long chats with Jamie Haggo and Mac introduced me to Lester Plastkitt. wink 2
My boy Curtis got a highly commended for his war hammer dio aswel.Great pics guys.

[deafpanzer]

Me too!!! I edited and it vanished! Looks like we did it simultaneously. Very sorry! Sent a message to Andy about this...

[AndyArgent]

Thanks mate,that one was for all my mates on here.

[AndyArgent]

A really nice comment to me at Euro was from the great Rob Hendon . He said if someone gave me a few hundred quid to buy one model in the competition room he would buy my Dear John figure.That was brilliant,Thank you Rob.

[AndyArgent]

Great to see you again Rob.Here are some of my pics.
