http://chucks888.freeservers.com/gallery/weta/detail/ORC05.htmlLet me know if the thumbnails don't work. Got good pics of the two statues probably most requested for pics- Sauron and Eowyn. Sauron ones came out really clear considering I didn't use flash. As before, certain pics are heavily watermarked to prevent ebay use. As far as the star pics, they are blurry- my camera wasn't designed to take pics from the distance although I was pretty close to the stage (4th row). Flash was worthless from this distance, so there it is! Will write a detailed write-up when the entire weekend is through. Dead tired, bring on tomorrow (and the unveiling of the new Pippin statue!)

Phenomenal pics Chucks - even on 56k connection What did you mean by that? Are they too large? I tried to keep the filesizes smaller this time, hopefully that worked!  Yeah I also won a few busts- will type up a full report when all said and done. |

Lol ok good, I'm on cable so yeah I don't have much trouble with loading pics, but I try to keep 56ker's in mind  Yeah the busts- first I don't know how many people to show up there got a free smeagol bust, and a raffle ticket. If you won, you got an overseer bust, which I did! |

Those were great! I especially liked the Eowyn piece as it seems to capture her 'essence' best out of a lot of things I've seen done. And Sauron ... 'WOW' is all I can say! We'll all be interested to hear the goings-on and any juicy tid-bits from the stars themselves. Roz ~ don't be mean and let the poor chap get some rest!  |

My pleasure guys- Day 3 photos up. Roz, if you have any inkling that you may want Pip, you better order it! It will not last long I suspect at that edition size. Personally, well, "I'm getting one!" |

Crickey .... the Eowyn piece has sold out already!! Roz ~ if you want the Pippin statue then I'd pre-order pdq! Now all I need to do is to find a Minas Morgul piece without mortgaging my house! Thanks once again Chuck! |

You're welcome Nienna I've finally put up my long report of the convention hereClearly labled in sections so you can skip to whichever your're most interested in. Caution, the "star" portion of the report is a bit more casual and not anything like a transcript of exactly what they said, what they did etc. I figured there would be plenty of other people who could provide that so why waste the energy eh? Highlight of the event bar none, was chatting it up with Dan Falconer. Not only because I am a big art guy but just because of his genuine and kind demeanor. And you can also see my most treasured prize from the entire weekend which was a sketch from Daniel. Here's a pic of it framed, next to it's companion, a Alan Lee Treebeard sketch!  Cheers Chuck |

Wow - very cool (am off to read your report in a mo). But ... did you originally have Alan Lee sketch in the book? Did you cut it out to frame it ? |

Roz: Nope, I brought my sketch pad in both cases. I like this much better as I can admire them every day just by looking on the wall! There's no real practical way to display a sketch in a book I don't think. Savage: Thanks a lot! Very kind of you! |
