First off, thanks folks for the invite! Chuffed...... sunny

Seeing the member list, I think I've met 7 of you, which isn't bad at all.......

Name: Rob Herring
Date of Birth: 7th of January 1968
Place of Birth: Lowestoft, Suffolk, England
Other interesting things: Got a girlfriend, Clare, and our son Dylan, who's 9 years old. I live in Bedford in England now, not the best place but it's OK (and I can walk to work....10 minutes!!!)
Started painting: probably 1978 when I "saw the light" and realised what was possible after seeing the work of Francois Verlinden in a Tamiya catalogue
Sources of Inspiration: Verlinden followed by Shep Paine originally; Not much going on in the fantasy field back then. Nearly stopped the hobby until I saw Bill Horan's work in the late 1980's......and have been mainly involved in the historical miniature world ever since, but never taking my eye of Sci-Fi as I've been reading 2000AD comic for years and years....
These days, the WWW is too full of amazing works although I'm enjoying the 2D digital art world for ideas for possible futire scratchbuilds...

so there you have it!!!!

hi Rob! I think I was just simultaniously mentioning we needed to get you posting as you put this up. Welcome! Really enjoy your stuff Smile

Hi and welcome here, Rob! Nice to have you aboard... cheers

Feel free to share photos of stuff you're working on (even if they're supposed to be secret... we're not telling anyone! Wink

)

Welcome aboard Rob!

When you have time, take a little look at this thread, you're much awaited for the event Wink

Well it was great meeting you last year at GD......what we all need is a longer event than that, one that lasts a few days! Very Happy

Three days in Paris? Sounds better than 6 hours at a convention centre outside Birmingham (3 of which were spent in hotel bar with Sven and Adrian Bay and a few others)

of course, the events around a world expo can go on for a week!!! but that's over a year away!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as far as I remember. The minis can be brought on Saturday or Sunday morning (not sure, but it'll be in this year's rules).

Plus the Open takes place during a games convention so there will also be plenty of other things to see; and it's in Paris Razz
