FIGZ 2017

[Dad's Army]

Well guys yesterday it was FIGZ day, and I hope you all did wear your FIGZ shirt all over the world...
It was a nice day, temperature was good, I saw only happy faces.
And even if the organization was in the end a bit stressful, it turned out well.
I would like to thank all the members who did come to FIGZ to join the fun, it was good to see you all again.

Some pictures from me (and what I found on internet so far):

Martin and his shop


on the right of this foto you see the extra light for the groupbuild (and in the back forthe PC)


I tried to get one long picture of the GB, but it was to long....

I will not post pictures of the GB, cause other members made much better ones.

okay, one part from BB...


But light was perfect!


And inspected by Peter and Jan


Here a view from the other side:


Das Dirch making production here:


The master peace from Erik-Jan (with working smoke


Pieter tries to impress Benno with his perfect looking table

Some fantastic work from Michael:





And the boats from Mr.Cryns where a lust for the eye


I did join the first part of his workshop and learned a lot...
Here a small part of the workshop, thank Mr.Cryns for this great contribution!

First the test working with the material (here you see my work)

Sweat for all the hard working people:

Pictures of what everybody did make, they will upload them self (I hope)

The parking place was at one moment all full, never happend before


The stupid part is, I didn't take pictures of Peter or his work...
But want to show you all what his son did make for us, shown here by our FIGZ model... thank you Christophe!


Well that was my short impression..

2) make something for the Painting Competition, no time to make picture, but lost agan...
3) suprise Peter by paintin 100 Romain solders from the Asterix bubble gum series, and i made it (103)

It was a honor to see again our French member Michael Roberts, who drove 6 and half hour to join us, also a great thanks to Jan who did a great job on de Group Build, Mr.Cryns who did a fantastic workshop, and all members who did join again. The help with building up FIGZ, as well the help cleaning up at the end, thanks all!!!

[Das_Dirch]

Thanks to Remco, Benno and Kristina for another nice FIGZ.

Thanks to Mr.Cryns for his Demonstration. I´ve learned a lot and get some insperations.

I was pleased to see so many members again.

My special thanks goes to Jan. His idea for the parade was once again great. Thanks to all who worked with.

Konrad and Sascha we have had missed you.

[Cryns]

I like to thank Dad, Benno, Kristina, MABO, Martin and all other people who helped Dad organizing Figz 2017.

Also I like to thank all participators of the Foam House Cutting workshop for joining us. We had no accidents with knives and fingers . It was my pleasure to have such a mixed group of ladies, children and some very funny gentlemen all together. They worked very hard.

It was my pleasure too to meet new members like DasDirch, Erik Jan, Mr. Andrea and of course to meet the many others I already met before.

I like to congratulate Pieter because he was one of the WINNERS of the painting competition. Pieter I saw your home-sculpted pot- and foodcollection on a picture posted by a Murphy's Heroes member. Please post such a picture somewhere in our forum.

Peter thanks for the Vlaai. Was your son at the show too?

[Dad's Army]

Mr. Cryns,

The foam house workshop was suberb, I learned there a new way of working with foam.
Maybe I will order a matras as well
Your students made some nice houses, and also learned a lot.
Here at home I found my bag with tools, stupid me

Ohw and no, Peter his son wasn't there, but made it especially for us.
In my mail contact with Peter, he showed me a picture when it was almost ready.
His son makes beautiful objects with this methode, and I am glad our FIGZ mascotte is one of them!

[MABO]

And Remco: Please post your fantastic entry for the competition!

[Cryns]

Please post your fantastic entry for the competition!

Yes exactly, somebody told me to look at Dads entry but I could not find it

[MABO]

It was the one with the name "Remco" on the entry note

[Cryns]

Yes MABO. Until so far it was clear to me.
But I could not find one with that name.

[MABO]

[Pieter]

Hi everyone;

It has been great participating in FIGZ this year and I would like to thank everyone who made it possible!
Pictures by Remco and Murphysheroes summ it up pretty well I think;
A great day to meet lots of nice people and see loads of pretty stuff...

I enjoyed very much meeting you all in person and got home with a heart full of inspiration and a head full off new ideas!

I've got no pictures to post for the moment but hope to see some more of the event sometime here...

Thanks again for a fun day!

Pieter and Bregje

[MABO]

I was also happy to see you and Bregje in person and I hope that we all see more pitctures of your cool works here in the forum.

[Cryns]

post it on the HäT forum for the good advertisement I have done with it

What is going on between Jan and the Hät forum?

[MABO]

Nothing, but it is not interesting, that is all. And Remco made good advertisment, because his figure has little HäT boxes in his hand.

[Cryns]

his figure has little HäT boxes in his hand.

I am getting even more curious now

[MABO]

And therefor I posted my demand at Remco!
