| Finally I can use a typeface other than Comic Sans MS. Since this page is really an add on and not part of rest of my site. I've even stolen the background and music from my Saucermen page, which by the way won second place at the show, in the Sci Fi figure category. Thanks for picking me, it's my first win, and that means allot. Really I was disappointed because I was hoping to be acknowledged for my original work with the Cyclops model, but only Scully from the Clubhouse noticed it at all. Thanks Scully! Scully's work was brilliant and beautiful, taking the classic Frankenstein movie and building a scene from his head, which would have fit so well with the original flick. It won three awards,two in first place, Scully called it, " Trapped at the Mill". Scully also won the award of Grand Poobah, knowing him, the little I do, the man is well worth it by far. Now back to me. One of the fellows, running the contest, later came to me and told me that I shouldn't only use gloss paint on my models. That using flat and gloss where necessary would give a more natural look to the piece. Great observation, exactly why I came! My other disappointment with the contest, beside from, no one noticing my Cyclops, was the poor turn out of modelers and their models at the contest itself. Only about thirty models in all. Still it was good to see all the work that was their! The professional work was really up their and awe inspiring in every way. The kids work was true to heart and all the kids who did enter were awarded a certificate of praise! Everyone was friendly, non competitive and appreciative to be their. For that I'm grateful that I came! On the Expo itself, it was an outrageous show, as well it should be. I spent most of my shots shooting the models at our contest and ran out of disk space on my camera as soon as I decided to take pictures of the people themselves. Everyone seemed very comfortable in their own skin. Which in turn made me feel comfortable in mine! They tell me the show to see is the Expo at Halloween! I believe that to be truth! I hope to work on my own models and by then have some new pieces that will really be more appreciated in the judges eyes. I love a challenge! The vendors were pleasant and easy to bargain with, and the people were not pushy or nasty in any way, not like the usual N Y street fair. I think by now you all get the just of the Expo. If you've never gone you should treat yourself to one sometime, because until you've experience it yourself, you don't know what your missing! Oh, and your can get an autograph from a star, like I did from Soupy Sales! And running into David Headison in the hallway, he graciously gave me his for free! I almost got the signature of the midget from Auston Powers, but the guard who was running him to the signing tent got mad at me for chasing him down for a picture! That's it from your roving reporter of that day. I hope you enjoyed my story and hope that I was detailed enough that now you know what its all about. And here are the pictures . . . |
