Next up - talks

We had Mark doing his history of Kubricks

If you aren't familiar with these here are a few that were for sale

Then we had Lee Bullock speaking about 12" collecting. This man is on a mission to have the most complete set of 12" releases

Thanks to Dave Tree for putting this all together. Incredible surprise at the end with this sheet of carbacks :shock:

Jason Joiner came along with a mind blowing selection of MOC's 8)

Got back at 01:30! One of the best days of my life.

Had a tour of JJ's house I don't know if I'm allowed to say what I saw so will keep quiet for now.

Great day out and many thanks to Dave for organising this. Some awesome opportunities for meet-ups are coming soon! :wink:

What was really pleasing was that there were no egos - just a room full of guys discussing Star Wars and sharing knowledge. And nasty beer and curry smells throughout the day :lol:

Too late :lol:

I know not everyone will agree but from what i've seen I think JJ is a stand up bloke. Every credit to him for coming along to FF. Next forum event round at JJ's place? :wink:

Thanks to everyone for making this a memorable weekend

 

[David Tree]

thanks to everyone who came along, I hope everyone enjoyed it and for those that travelled distances it was worthwhile and great to meet up with everyone.
Although great things were on show, I actually think the Saturday night helped kick it off as everyone was relaxed and had fun, I really hope the future shows are more weekenders for folks

I'll be editing pics etc, but if anyone has pictures they are happy to share and allow me to use on the facebook page etc, that would be awesome

All the best,
Dave

Last up, Dave's vintage mystery.

This looks like a big cardback.

It's only a complete print sheet of trilogos!

It was up on the bedroom wall of a kid whose dad worked at a sausage factory.

Dave shows the back showing a printing error that meant the sheet was rejected for use.

One of the print runs is upside down so the whole batch was sent to be used as wrapping for sausages.

Delighted looks from vintage collectors.

A close up of a Jawa.

The distribution of figures is very interesting.

It would make a great vintage podium.

Last shot of the back again.
