SCI-FI SCARBOROUGH 2015

I grew up watching Gerry Anderson programs with my Grandad, so to see the amazing display of all the puppets was awesome! Especially the Captain Scarlet stuuff, he was always my favourite

I like Droids

I really like Droids

I really, really like Droids!!!

Not sure about this one though, looks a bit gay!

Femi Taylor!!!!! Marco was quite convinced that Femi Taylor (Oola) was infact in love with him, this is inaccurate though, it was obvious that she much preferred me, I mean, just look at the way she's totally checking me out! They say a picture says a thousand words, well this picture says 'Oola thinks I'm more awesome than I think I am..... which is a lot'

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And Oola wasn't the only one after a piece!

A particularly hot Leia Slave Girl indeed, with a very hot Femi Taylor!

Here's our team on the day, Chris, Stef, ~~God~~ Me, Marco & Geoff What a Face

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And here is our display cabinet, This contained a full Kenner run with a couple of variations thrown in, a full set of Ewoks & Droids figures brought by Stef including Vlix of course! A collection of rare Darth Vader variations brought by Chris which included, Glasslite, Taiwan only, Lili Ledy, Top Toys and a Takara thrown in by Stef. Marco provided an amazing set of Lili Ledy VHTF variants, a Jawa, 1978 R2, Burgundy Bib & Squid and an RR Fett which was stood next to my RR Tri-Logo Fett, making this the only place on Earth you could see the two together! I also brought the Luke Bespin collection along and some Mexican Bootlegs

And a few famous faces, me and Marco got to meet David 'Darth Vader' Prowse

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I also got to meet Paul Blake (Greedo) I noticed that he was actually slyly giving me the finger!!!!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I am impressed by Paul's hand gesture!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Final I came up with the highly original idea of shooting him, something I imagine I'm probably the first person to suggest this to him. I was originally planning to have this picture taken with my vintage Han Solo blaster I bought from Clint solely for the purpose of this picture, but like a daft twat, I forgot to bring it
Paul was a top bloke and promised he would spend the tenner I paid for the pics on Alcohol

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Captain Ant! (Self proclaimed Captain) This is the guy who made the giant Darth Vader cake, he modelled his image based loosely on me I think

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I got to hold a few figures that I never thought I would get chance to hold which was nice, I'm still suprised that Stef and Marco haven't realised that they now own repros

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The General got to meet another General..... ZOD!!!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And me and Marco flirted with Super Girl

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I got to meet David Graham as well who did the voice of Parker & Brains in Thunderbirds which was nice

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

We also met Danny John Jules (Cat from Red Dwarf) Although Marco had no idea who he was haha

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the team again!

And for James.......

Until next time.........

I enjoyed the convention very much , the relaxed atmosphere, the cosplay girls, seeing David Prowse and Oola, but most of all it was great meeting Alex, Chris, Stef, Geoff, Laura, and many friends of Alex in real life and having lots of fun.
It was a blast. Sure I will join next year as well. cheers

Cheers
Marco

Excellent pictures Alex. cheers

It was nice to see the Rebel Trooper make a few appearances. clapping

Any boob shots with Oola? What a Face

It looks like everyone was having a great time.

by **General Kahn** Tue Mar 31, 2015 6:23 pm

Forgot to post the autographs I got! I definately wanted David Prowse because I used to have it as a child and no longer do, so needed to get that back! Also, I have James Earl Jones's so thought it would be nice Smile

I also got David Graham's as well because he only wanted a fiver and I just thought it would be nice and I am a huge fan, and wanted to take something home that was Gerry Anderson related Smile

Spock Tribute

Finally got round to uploading this! I was given the amazing chance to make a Leonard Nimoy tribute for the Sci-Fi Scarborough convention that would be played on the big screen above the stage in the grand hall! Quite a daunting task! 50 hours of work went into the 4 minute film I created, something I'm very proud of Smile

After it had finished the orchestra played the Star Trek main theme from the original series.

I know not everyone is on Facebook, so some won't have seen this Smile

by **Dr Dengar** Sat Apr 25, 2015 11:15 am

I saw an announcement on Facebook for Scarborough 2016.

I certainly plan to go there again! Very Happy
