Thats good to know, James, I spoke with him at length about his business and all seems to be good with him getting through his first year, so it can only get better.

Well Andy, you could at least describe the show to us, something like this...

"Hi Everybody!
I went to the MMSI Chicago figure show yesterday and it was amazing. There were lots of really,
really great figures there, but there was this one...oh man it was AWESOME!!! The painting was perfect
and the face, the FACE!!! it looked almost lifelike...you should've seen it..."

Something like that...

Was that not Shep Paine sitting in the last few pics?

 

[moon puppy]

Looks like they gave him a trophy with a cow on it

 

[SA Dave]

That better be an holy cow then - That man is my modeling hero since I was about 11.

 

[AndyFettes]

It certainly is him and one of mine too,...he presents the awards and its a bit good when he calls your name out.

 

[MrT]

Outstanding work!

Thanks Andy!

 

[moon puppy]

I know one thing, I'm glad I didn't have anything to do with judging those.

 

[AndyFettes]

Nerdy I know but I had to do it !!!

 

[jknaus]

Oh you lucky bugger you. I have his book, well worth aquiring I think.
