Kulmbach 2013

[Brian]

Ed is managing  the BFFS table, so maybe the ideas should be finalised for meeting at the table in the next week or so as Ed will be on his way to Kulmbach, the long way round.
 
We had meeting times in the past but I never go to them as to busy buying figs, badges we did that before to, mine stayed in my pocket, not one for id labels but yep sort it out and see what our secretary comes up with  
It's not long till we go now!!

Hi Eric,
As far as I know Our Secretary, where ever he may be !!!   was getting badges made up, but we must await his return and confirmation on this.
Badges would be good.
 
I am also a newbie Barry to Kulmbach so welcome to the club   and yes take boxes.

Meeting at Kulmbach
It seems that quite a number of us will be there
Some we will know, some others not
May I suggest that :
    We all ware a little homemade badge with the words BFFS-IFFS
    We organise a "rendez-vous" at the table and at a well choosen hour ( no I did'nt say beer time)
What do you think ?
Eric

Hi Barry
My experience says : have a case with you
Some traders have packages but most of them have none
See you there
Eric

[Barry King]

I'm very much looking forward to what will be my first visit to Kulmbach. Long on my list of to-do subjects, this year becomes reality!
As a newbie to this show, and considering I plan to stock up very well with flats galore, do the sellers give the figures in some sort of packaging, or should I plan to box up my spoils with boxes brought from home? I don't want to overpack, but then on the other hand, I don't want to underpack as well!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hope to meet many of the BFFS members at Kulmbach, in a month's time!
Barry

Ive always just taken hand luggage and put my flats in what ever bag or case i take,  saves flaffing about on the baggage  arrivals area at Frankfurt and Heathrow, but also remember to take some empty boxes for all the flats you buy, but i guess travel light, could you make up a special box for transporting your flower Fairies?  that will fit in your case/bag ?  i reckon that's your best bet Nick.

[Nicholas Ball]

I have no idea either what I'm taking or how to get them there!!!

Is it the norm to take a suitcase for the hold of the plane, or just hand luggage?

[gerry Larkin]

Oh Nick You silly **** of course you can show your  winged Friends!
just keep on taking the tablets! But  Seriously mate are you taking them to Kulmbach?    good luck with them    if you do!

[Nicholas Ball]

If we can't have right wings or left wings, does this mean I can't show my fairies???
 

[böckchen]

Hello community,
 soon it will be so far as the suitcase may be packed to travel to Kulmbach.
 As I promised, here is the list of vendors and locations!

Looking forward to it, just noticed it states figures cannot show right wing contents?  doesn't say they cant be left wing

[Nicholas Ball]

You got that Martin,  one label--  Philippe  from Belguim.   another --  Nicholas Ball from England   and finally --Brian Keywood from Biker Grove.

 

I hope these labels are top quality green enamel edged with gold.

[Brian]

Phillippe you make sure you come and have a chat and bring one or two figures for the BFFS table, see you there

[bussy]

In case you have'nt picked it up anywhere else the BFFS is paying for our stand this year and I am hoping to arrange for name badges for everyone who is going so that we all,and that includes all European and US Members actually get to meet and recognise each other!!! If you are going let me know HERE and I will arrange a badge, all I need is name and country of origin. Fairyland is not a country, Nick, you have to be a grown up and bat for England!!!

The test for distinguishing between dioramas and figures is the staging of an imagined space on the one hand and the focus on the design of the single figure or group of figures on the other.
Dioramas, historical or genre-like scenes are placed in a complex relationship context, must meet differentiated conditions, such as the combination of perspective and composition, lighting, depth and historical authenticity, the imagination a relatively wide framework can be plugged.
In the figures, the artisanal / artistic version of the figure and the historical accuracy provide the relevant assessment criteria.
The consignor determines which category to compete in his exhibit.
Brochure can get:
a) individual figures and groups of figures, flat and fully plastic.
b) dioramas, miniatures compositions or scene images with an imagined space and illusionistic background, preferably with its own source of illumination;
