Union of the Force Convention
« on: December 23, 2014, 04:29:34 AM »
The UotF Con will be held on 7 February 2015 in Herne, Germany.
It may not be the largest Star Wars Con in Germany, but I'm sure, it will be a cool one.

Shipyard members Iron Panda, his Secret Apprentice and I, supported by two prime prop builders will exhibit our Star Wars-related customs, models and props as Imperial Shipyards - Chapter Rheinland (thanks, Tamer!).

If you happen to be in the area, why not come and see us?

Of course, we will take some pics for the other Yarders to enjoy!

Herne is close to Essen, less than 90 minutes from where I live. I might just drive down there and drop by and say hi :)

Here's the front and rear of the Convention T-Shirts we had made up for the Occasion.
Since Tamer requested one for himself, we were all too happy to oblige:





Tamer, we hope you like your Shirt. PM me your address and I'll have it out to you within the next few days.

In fact that was Andy's and Stefan's magic.
I'm just the messenger they though you'd shoot if you didn't like the shirt...

Okay, we're back from the Union of the Force Convention.
The Chapter Germany of the Imperial Shipyards had a pretty good turnout with 9 People, not counting Art de Whill to kinda participated in absence.
You'll see what I mean when you look at the pics.

Although the rooms looked a lot larger on the floor plan and we could easily have used another table or two to better display our customs, models and props, we did the best we could to present the quality you find at the Yards.

Now, let's have a look at the first Batch of photos courtesy of yours truly:

IronPanda Setting up his models:


 
IronPanda's modelling madness:








Kurgan's Customs:




Ralf's 1:1 scale props:






Stefan's (IronPanda's Secret Apprentice) first diorama:




The whole display including sales corner (with a critical Kurgan_Jr. surveying the show):




All age groups were present:
