Who's going to HiEx?

[KingdomOfAdventure]

One more thinks I forgot- Mark and his amazing models! Was there a man in the room who didn't drool over them??

I spent a lot of time pondering how I could convert them into some sort of wargaming rules...

Overall I had a splendid time chatting to various people about my plans to open a comic/games shop in Kirkcaldy.

Specific thanks to Graeme Neil Reid and Jeremy Briggs for letting me babble on about the shop.
Gary Davies from Heroes For Sale for imparting his knowledge onto me.
Gary Erskine for well just for being Gary Erskine.

Plus of course the host and hostess for pulling the whole thing together and actually looking slightly less stressed than they did the previous year.

Oh and if Vicky/Rich need analysis done on the questionnaires (assuming any were filled in?) let me know and we can sort that out like last year.

Cheers,

Dave

Great weekend.
Good to catch up with a few boarders and meet a few more. Those models were the business- now my youngest wants some, though!

Sorry I didn't see you before you left, Proudhuff- I must've missed ye efter the raffle.
Well done, Satchmo!

The talks were great- the zombies one was pretty funny, and the religion/ politics/ comic one was interesting too. I must confess to not being in attendance at the Watchmen one. I suppose I also must confess I've never actually read the comic either!

Big thanks to Rich, Vicky, and everyone who helped make this...

...right on my doorstep!!! ('Pitlochry nice'- erse! Sorry Huff ;D)

That's a bastard about those sketches, Tips. My youngest got a Gary Erskine batman too, and a Leigh Gallacher Hellboy- both top notch, so a big 'thank you' to the pair of 'em! I added a mystery one to his collection (which I'm keeping under wraps for now) and Satchmo did me Mothman vs Chupacabra as well!

Only, my scanner appears to be fucked so I'm struggling to scan them in. I'll try to get them done at work or something.

Any chance of a scan of the Minty sketch...?

Got to admit, I didn't want to let go of it.

I'm not surprised el-lopo its totally spiffy.  Must have been very difficult to let it go.

Tips, I've unpacked all the FQ boxes and there was no extra sketchbook in there. Fingers crossed it turns up.

Permit me to gush like the fanboy I am for a second here, but my Dok, how good is McMahon.  That feels like it has all the precision and accuracy of a Vermeer... but it's a loose, exaggerated caricaturish sketch.  I almost don't understand what I'm looking at.  Amazing.

[Dog Deever]

Love the helmet, Trout! I didn't see it at the weekend, but it looks great in the photies!

[Richmond Clements]

Lovely sketches, guys!

Bou managed to get one over the weekend, while I failed to get my books signed by Mr Quietly.

Still- there's a couple of lots of pics from the event up on the website now: http://www.hi-ex.co.uk/photogal09.htm

Beware though- there are more cute Rose images among them...

My pic of the cosplayers



Judge Rose was my fave too. Loved the Terminator, and Davros (sadly not pictured). On Sunday we briefly had a convincing Randall and Dante in Mooby's get-up that I liked.
