mrbuddylee Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I was lucky enough to go to Gencon in Indy this year and I took a lot of pictures and talked to quite a few people there. I also dropped way too much money at the Reaper booth (but man, they had so many minis I needed). Anyways, this report covers most of the metal miniature companies, if you want to read my take on the con and the companies that attended, please check it out! http://www.displacedminiatures.com/gencon/index.htm Thanks! -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricBoogaloo Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Awesome report. The people at the reaper booth where awesome. Even helped me find the silver paints since I couldn't see them at all. (They where right in front of me ) The people at the Darkage booth where really cool too, as well as the Magnificent Egos booth. I am slightly disapointed no one was carrying freebooter miniatures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks for the info! The best ten minutes so far today. How big was the bug on the left? Looks like a size of a football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbuddylee Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 That guy was huge. It's not an illusion, he really is about the size of a football. I'm pretty sure he's a plastic or resin model, but I don't think he's really that expensive, maybe $50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricBoogaloo Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yeah from the lack of bubbles and the overall texture I'm guessing he was hollow plastic from an injection mold. I don't know if that will be the case for the production mini though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vutpakdi Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 A very good report! And, I agree with you: the best product in the show that I picked up was the Slip Grip Mat. I actually got two: the large version for my home work surface and the smaller one for when I travel. I should have thought to pick up one as a place mat for my preschooler though!

Shakandara Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Almost made me feel like I was there for the event. Way to go with the numerous pics and detailed write-ups, Brad! ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 you didnt happen to get more pictures of the table set ups did you? I always love looking at the well done game demo tables.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 the mat does look like a great item to pick up, pretty much a given that I'll smack something & knock it over (thou, with dropper bottles that part has been curbed thou) nice reviews & nice pics, also nice to see some faces from Rcon (like Sandra & Michael Brower (one sculptor I got to talk to & none of the conversation pertained to sculpting, ha ha) seen the photos, really makes me want to go next year!!
