Reason 9 or maybe not !
 
The Demonstrators.

 No, not a group of people with placards complaining about something; not that at all.

 No, our Demonstrators are the helpful type, people who come along to share with you, the visitor, their years of knowledge and expertise. And this year weve got some that return for yet another session of showing exactly that can be done, alongside a couple of new chaps ready and willing to give their time freely to you the visitors.

 Situated for easier access in the refreshments room  yes, you can have a cuppa and a snack whilst you quiz them on that nugget of information you need to get the effect you really need, but havent nailed yet !

 So, who do we have ?

 Well, returning for a third time is the superb Dave Maddox  both a talented sculptor as well as a master with airbrush and conventional bristled brushes, Dave has garnered Gold Medals at Euro Militaire, SCHAMMS along with many Best of Show awards in the UK. and is a noted judge at several prestigious shows including Darlington, Welling and Euro Militaire. Also of note are Daves articles  several of which have appeared in Military Modelling magazine over the years.

 New to the seated panel this year is Conrad Mynett ( Prawnpower )  again a multiple medal winner at Euro Militaire for his fantasy pieces, but also winner of Best of Show at Salute last year, which took him across the Atlantic to enter in the Crystal brush awards. Here he received several medals recognising his fine work. Like Dave, Conrad has established himself at the UK shows with several Best of Show awards and also Conrad has enjoyed success at the French Golden Demon awards  last year picking up a demon for one of his entries.

 Also joining the demonstration panel this year is Nick Ball, a painter noted for his flat figures and who has gained Gold Medal status at Euro Militaire, several Best of Show medals on the UK circuit and is very quickly becoming the leading light of flat figure painting within the UK.

 Together, these three fellows have more than enough knowledge of painting techniques to furnish you with answers to any questions you may have. Theyll have a selection of examples of their superb work on show, and as has been said many times before, reading about how to do something can be very informative; but its nowhere near as good as having the expert right there to talk you through and possible even show you how a particular technique is achieved.

 So, Reason number 9 for coming to FigureWorld 2013. The Demonstrators. Because not only do they represent Championship quality and skill, theyre some of the most pleasant and enthusiastic figure painters youre likely to meet.

 The show is still being held on Saturday the 20th of July 2013 at Oundle School, Oundle, Near Peterborough. PE8 4GH.

 Opening times for the Saturday will be 9:30am until 16:30pm.

 And dont forget the Paintathon on the Sunday: - 9:30am until 14:30pm

Err! yes don't know where 6 is but this last one is actually reason number 8!!!
The usual suspect are the guys from the old basement, and yes Nick is the only one with the body nearly to match the photo the rest of us are much better, full of life's experiences and not just looking in the mirror ;D

The Ideas

 They say that there’s nothing new under the sun…….they also say that I began Reason 7  in exactly the same way last year…..and they’d be absolutely right.

 But if you’ve got a winning team, with a great product……well why change ?

 So, the ideas.

 Yes, there’s so many models to see at FigureWorld, you’ve be hard pressed not to have that eureka moment hit you at some point during the show.

 With all the different people present at the show, there’s bound to be plenty of help in bringing your new ideas into reality, the encouragement of fellow modellers, and not to mention the variety and depth of their skills, all so easily tapped, simply be turning round and chatting to the folk around you.

 With modelling seeming to advance at such a pace over the past couple of years, surely the best place to be to improve, or even to just discuss new projects is in a room full of like minded souls.

 And that’s what we’re aiming for – cross pollination of ideas it’s called these days. We just think it’s a darn fine excuse to get away for a weekend and meet with old friends.

 So there you are, Reason 7 – the ideas and enthusiasm – we’re doing it just for you !

 The show is being held on Saturday the 20th of July 2013 at Oundle School, Oundle, Near Peterborough. PE8 4GH.

 Opening times for the Saturday will be 9:30am until 16:30pm.

 And don’t forget the Paintathon on the Sunday: - 9:30am until 14:30pm

Chippendales, that used to be our evening job before we found out how to use paint brushes.
Mind you that's before we found beer. ;D
