MFCA - Miniature Figure Collectors of America - 2016

[Nicholas Ball]

At least it didn't spoil the show, and the company was great. The most important thing is getting the flat figures noticed.

That said.  BAST**DS

I agree, Kevin. But the last few years' judging have been the same. We need to find out who is judging and have a word with them.

That's fine Kevin! it was a good night!
thanks again for your great hospitality!

Hi Kevin
Didn't enter the comp just put my stuff out for display, so thanks for your kind words!
Nick was  indeed hard done By!!! Judging  Hey! , we both had the greatest time!!
thanks   all involved with the show.  Thanks to the Hawian  Mafia, Great bunch of people! and good friends, where see you again!

[kevind]

While Nick and Jerry are too gentlemanly to raise the issue, they were both hard done by the judges at MFCA. As flat and round painter of many years and  annual participant at MFCA, this years judging was, IMHO, of poor quality for the table that most flats were displayed upon.
Judging is, of course, somewhat subjective but in Nick and Jerrys case, they got it terribly wrong.
On a positive note, it was great fun spending time with Nick and Jerry and i hope they can make it to the Long Island Show.

Just added some new photos to the MFCA 2016 gallery and identified the artist on some of the works where this was not already done.


Thanks to Mark for getting this gallery started and for some really great shots.

I always thought the BFFS was a fun, hard-drinking, carousing lot... if that's not you, then I was partying with someone else!!!


Relax, the boys did not see the inside of any jails or court rooms.

"there will be a town bylaw to prevent this from happening in the future"

Do hope you did not embarrass yourselves as we do have a reputation we as the BFFS stand by hahaha
Good to see you all had a good time and you never know the UK side may again be in the USA, Chicago is next year!!     

 

[PJDeluhery]

Well, the show is over and we had a tremendous time. Nick, Gerry, Mark and I met; and I'm thinking there will be a town bylaw to prevent this from happening in the future.       

There were quite a few flat figure entries and some really outstanding pieces.  I'll be posting pictures shortly.

thanks to all who attending the meeting on Saturday and who stopped by.

Larry, hold your figure out the window on the drive in...the bugs will add some color and texture!
