Oz Painters

I mentioned this last Saturday but noticed Nic had posted on TMP. I've asked whether they would be interested in a table from Ozpainters and he mentioned it shouldn't be a problem provided they had tables. Is there anyone interested in getting an Ozpainters presence there and perhaps organising a demonstration of what work we've done? Is it worth setting up a demo table and getting some painting happening?

Sounds good to me. What sort of event is it?
A nice display of minis would be fantastic!

Yes, yes, yes, definitely.
It'd be great to get an Ozpainters table happening.
Peter.....any chance of getting a large sign made, not too big, just something that shows or prescence?

No problem. I can do one the same as we had at the first painting day (1m x 320mm). Bigger ones can be done but the cost a few bob as I have to get them done by an external supplier.
I can do more promo flyers and all that sort of gear.

Have to see if we can get a lightweight display cabinet this time. I'll see what I can find so we can get some of the bigger pieces in. I don't think I'll get in in time to see Nick this Saturday though.

I might see if I can get over there to see him Friday afternoon or Saturday, not sure at this stage though.

Funny - I too hope to go and see Nick this sat to go over some greens I want cast.
I may see you there

well Saturday's out for me, gotta go see about hopefully buying a house.
Can you talk to him Peter about the table, etc, and what we would be required to do or provide. Cheers mate

Good luck with the house. ikea have a couple of decent size cabintes for under $200.00. I'll have a look at those and hopefully they'll do to give us a fairly good display.

I may/may not be having a table there to sell some excess figures I have (I really must get around to finding-out about that... ). If not, I'd certainly pop-in for some painting if there's an Ozpainters' Table! Regardless, I'd be happy to paint a figure for display if needed (is that what's being suggested - a collection of OzPainters-Painted figures in a display cabinet?).

I think it would be great to have 3 or 4 of us dressed in our OzPainters shirts with a nice display of painted gear for people to ogle.

I would suggest a display of painted figures teamed with at least two painting stations. If there are a few of us there in uniform (so to speak) with the flyers we can establish a presence, and maybe kick it up to a painting comp next year depending on how we go this year. I would be willing to splash out on the cabinet (one of them was lockable) provided it is portable. Give people something to look at, well painted unusual/old/rare figures.

I spoke with Nick yesterday and he just needs to know what our requirements are. The tables are 6' x 4' so I guess we'd get up to 6 painters to a table.
Power will also be needed - I reckon at least 2 power points. I can provide extension leads and powerboards.
I don't have a shirt must try and organise one for the day.
I would suggest that we have the cabinets with small name tags near the models to show who painted what - that way people could ask about specific models if they wish.

It may pay for us to get together as a group to try and thrash out some of the details so we all know where we stand and who needs to do what. Maybe we can meet at a mutually agreeable location over coffee sometime in the coming weeks.

OzPainters shirts?




Sounds good! I'm in!
