QMHE

Very nice

A quick update on the figures...
I've cast around 100 torsos and heads so far and I'm working on the arms and legs now. Hopefully I'll start sending out figures to you guys for painting around this time next week.
I'm not sure 100 will fill out the dio so if any of you have painted figures you can bring along it'd help out a lot.
The figures I'm using are Tamiya Campus Friends and Fujimi Mechanics. It's not easy converying a handful of figures into dozens of different looking figures but it's getting there.

Chris.

Your a machine chris the effort your putting into them will be greatly appreciated, thanks champ.
The ideas and effort everyone is making is incredible I can't wait til we put all this together on the weekend.
I was thinking of increasing the size and get more tables and a second club stand just fit all this in, a full 1/25 scale drag strip anyone. lmao.

If you increase the size mate I'll have you shot!
I'd love to have made up enough figures to cover the whole starting line (2-300) but there's just not enough time and resin. I might just keep the molds going after QMHE 'til they fall apart. They can always be used in the clubs future projects...
You're right Trent- I'm a machine. Pity most of the rods are bent......it'd also explain why I'm shitting nuts and bolts....

Chris.

Flasher circuit for the christmas tree staging lights is made and tested ok. Just need to build the tree now.. Is anyone already making a staging light beam box? If not it would be handy to incorporate that into the tree so i can hide the circuit board...

Rocket, or anyone else involved in the club display table.
I am trying to get up to QMHE this year and wondering if you needed any more nostalgia drag cars for the display or do you have plenty already ?
I will probably enter a few as well .
Cheers Peter.

Bring em up Peter, looking at around 40-50 cars on the display so plenty of room, would be happy to have them.

That sounds good i will bring up about 6.
Cheers peter.

Looking forward very much.to this display.
Is there any other things that need to be done. detail things or whatever smaller things for me Im a bit slow with the models but want to contribute. (so far I have a workshop ute, trailer & 'race' car

still haven't heard about figure painting either?

Chris is doing the figures but has been a bit crook, I'm sure he will let everyone know when he is ready to go.
What about a BBQ or 2 for the pit carpark? How are you with signage, need a banner for the carshow, maybe something along the lines of "The Shelby Car Owners Club Show and Shine" as I Shelby's are the feature. If not let us know so someone else can get onto them. Do you have any suggestions?
Cheers
Kirk

Thanks Kirk.
Yeah, I've not been too well lately and I'm behind schedule. I've got a handful finished and ready for paint so far and I have mountains of bodies, arms and legs that I'm piecing together right now. I'm priming 'em as I go so they should be right to paint as soon as you get 'em.
I know I'm pushing friendships here and leaving not much time for you guys to paint 'em but I'll do my best to get 'em out to you ASAP....

Chris.

I still reckon your a legend Chris! Hats off to ya!

No worries. I'll channel the old games workshop days and paint 5-19 figures in one hit production line style

yeah cool i can have a crack might be an idea to get at least someelse building one just in case it falls through. bbq just like a feed or fundraising style?


Banner im ok with ms paint but some of the other guys have photoshop experience and maybe better suited. I'll play round with ideas anyway.

Other details

Can't scroll on phone damit
other details could be ice cream/coffee van, program stand umm refueling area (jerry cans/fire extinguisher) I'll have a think about some more

I can make a banner for yas. I finally got photoshop workin.

Maybe a few old garbage bins? Just cut down 44s full of rubbish..?

Chris.

Banner is done,

What took you so long, have to feed the bub at the same time? Bloody awesome dude.

Well now that you've made one for yas, can you now make one for the stand. lol

Just got a reply back from Gasser Gav from Cruzin mag, he is in town that weekend and keen to come along, wasn't sure which day though, I said we would be there all weekend. Woohoo.

Do you many some cars with figures in them driving into the event or whatever. there not show stoppers but was looking at some of my models which would suit (other then the workshop ute towing the race car (galant gto)




Not sure if I'll get to the bbq I'll still try, the figures are on the way and i need to.build a shed (1:1) for all my crap

Cars with drivers would be great Brendon!! It'd really help with the dio!
I'll be sending you the first batch of figures tomorrow along with a second batch to Fred.
Any more takers?

Chris.

Gees Brendon I don't know if the Dodge will pass
scrutineering with all that smoke in the back.
Hey Chris, I got a bit of time to paint some figures
between changing nappies. if you want to chuck some my way!

.....that's what happens when you breathe on a Dodge throttle pedal- tyre smoke....

No worries Shoey- thanks mate.
It could be Mon or Tues before I have a third batch ready. I'll PM you when I'm ready to post them off if that's cool.

Chris.
