ARMADACON 2019

This Friday I shall be travelling down to Plymouth to attend Amadacon, held at the Futures Inn, it was orginally called the smallest con in the country ( by them) with an attendance under double figures. It was basically a group of people who loved Sci-Fi and fantasy in all forms, and has grown from there.
I haven't been for a few years as they moved their date to the same weekend as Crisis in Antwerp, as I will no longer be going to Crisis I am going back to Armadacon.
Each year I make them a coaster which they give out as thank you's to people who help make the event.

Last year they asked for a figure to help celebrate their anniversary, so I built them and cast up a number of Gary the Orc, beneath his picture is the art he was based on.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up, but have managed to get all the beds done for Michael before going, and even got them up and available on the website.

Doing this bit for Michael and helping with his project was very rewarding, and was happy to help out.
That's all for this post and will try and catch up with everyone's blogs when I'm back home on Monday, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

    I hope the trip goes well Dave, spent a lovely year in Plymouth many moons ago! The beds look amazing Dave and can't wait to get them in my grubby hands. Thank you again so very much for helping with this.

    Those beds are so generic they could be used in many a setting. Good work, Dave.

      Thank you Iain, he was a challenge to build to get the caricature style to the sculpt.

      Thank you Simon, he was auctioned off at Armadacon, and went for £20 which all the money raised goes to charity.
