International Small Scale Convention 07.09.2013

[Das_Dirch]

For me, the event was a great day.
Thanks to Benno, Remco, Old Wolf, MABO, ZED1, Konrad, Ralf and visitors for your supports to promot the forum. Congratulation to ZED1 for his price by the competition.
Did not take any photos, had forgotten my camera .
I think there will follow some.

As a taster here is a report from a local newspaper (in German).

By the way does anyone known the guy on the photo?

Am already looking forward to next year and of course the FIGZ.
greetings
Dirk

Hello at all,

it was a pleasure for me to meet some faces behind the names, like Benno, Konrad and so on
Writing in a forum is good but its allways better to talk eye to eye some times !
See you next at Figz 2014
Cheers

Thanks to you to Dirk, you done a good job again!

About the guy in the newspaper, no we don't know him, hahahaha
And pictures, I can see someone is working on them

[MABO]

Yes, thank you Dirk, for organizing us and the presentation. It was nice meeting all of you. And it was fine that our Master of Disaster from the Baltic State was present as well!

[Zed1]

You guys wanna have photos, ha?
Okay - me first!

Bennos' brushbrothers:




Lots of nice work:































Michels carribean fortress, surely worth two dozends of photos:












Planes, planes, planes:



















Walking on the moon...






...curiosity killed the cat... and now tries to hide it behind the stones.




Wanna buy some wood?




Photos from the competition tables:
























BTW - that's what they put into "beginners' contest" these days at Heiden. I should reconsider the cathegory to enter my own stuff...




In addition, I noticed a lot more birds this year...






This here won the special price from Benno's forum, didn't it?

Thanks a lot for the Pictures and the kind Words about my Fortress, Sascha...!

So, since Benno tried to talk me into registering on Saturday (I was the guy with the grey Addidas shirt - so it's your own fault Benno! ) I wanted to make a small comment on this one ...

BTW - that's what they put into "beginners' contest" these days at Heiden. I should reconsider the cathegory to enter my own stuff...

Well, in hindsight I should have entered the standard category but I had pre-registered over the internet and since that was only my eighth figure I ever finished in that scale I thought the beginner's category would be a wiser choice. Next time I'll enter the standard category, I promise.

[GumSmith]

Hi csThor,
that is no good idea:

Next time I'll enter the standard category,

I am not good enough to flee to the master class...
cheers GumSmith

[Kekso]

Great photos Sacha... tanks

[Zed1]

No problem with that. I always wondered if my work is good enough for the standard cathegory - especially when I see what's on the contest table everytime.

But after what I have seen, I know a no-failure way to win a gold medal without a question: enter "Fantasy figure, Beginner". Gosh - I bet that was a mistake... (for all who don't understand the joke: there were cathegories without any entries... )

[Kekso]

Yeah I know what are you talking about. Once, I've won gold medal just because I was only one in that category.

[GumSmith]

Hi Zed1,

But after what I have seen, I know a no-failure way to win a gold medal without a question: enter "Fantasy figure, Beginner". Gosh - I bet that was a mistake... (for all who don't understand the joke: there were cathegories without any entries... )

That don`t works on I S S C or even E M E, Heiden as they use international pointing system for the competition. If you don`t get enough points you won`t win, even if you are alone in your class.
And especially in the figure categories most of the judges have international experiance as judges, like Karsten Pöpping from the AGMF.

cheers oke

Thanks for sharing these pictures with us

So, since Benno tried to talk me into registering on Saturday (I was the guy with the grey Addidas shirt - so it's your own fault Benno! ) I wanted to make a small comment on this one ...

Seems I was successful at it! Welcome to the forum.
