In response to Lawrence, I will try to assemble some armies, I could rustle
up 50-60 Shako at soldiers (15 or so currently aboard an extended and
slightly modified 6285), in addition to a few smaller groups, say dozen or
so wolf men rebels, 20-30 forestmen, 20-30 of varying different castle
figures. I may also get time for some small MOC for use in the diaramas?  -
Overall I like Lawrence's suggestion?

BTW I would also like to see trains, having only been to Tony's fest - it
would be a good opportunity to try out my restored metroliner.

With regard to trade material I have curretly found the following MISB sets:

A few spare UK and US Mcdonalds promo sets
McDonalds restuarant
TWA Plane promo
Legoland California Truck
Legoland yellow truck
various star wars sets
Various Shell UK 98 promo sets
6665
6663

Regards,

Jason

2. What about Castle? Havent seen a good castle display at a UK fest • yet.

CHEEK !!
There was a good display of castles at Redditch and a moderate one at
Southport

Sorry.

I remember seeing a few castles at Redditch, but didnt go to Southport.

I suppose I need to qualify my definition of goodness.
Things I like to see would be
1. MOCS
2. Diaramas, which could be constructed from sets or mocs.

So a good castle display to me would be something like a nicely staged • battle
scene, or a large MOC castle.

I suppose at fests I would like to see something that is difficult, ney
impossible, for the average lego collector to stage at home, such as a • whole
armada of pirate ships, or whole armies of knights in battle, etc

But thats my personal preference.

lawrence

(...) Great. If you noticed on my web page for the fest, the hall is a few hundred yards from the Duke of Wellingtons house. (also near to Sandhurst Miltary college) It would therefore be nice to have a Lego Battle of Waterloo. Some of the pirate (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
