It is close by. Let's see if I can get the missus to have a trip to Antwerp...

Well I've just came back from this event and I am happy to have been there!

I talked to Werner Klocke of freebooter and Adam Clark of Black Scorpion, nice fellars and also it was great to meet Gerrie (Corvus).

I only bought two figs but have could bought much more. Good thing the missus came with me!

did Corvus make pics for us?

I don't know actually.

I came there late in the afternoon (the trip was sort of a late decider. by the missus no less!) and one crappy thing was that I couldn't get into the hall where the painting contest was being held!

Gerrie told me they did the judging behind closed doors this year. We left before they opened up again and pronounced the winners...

I did see lots of camera activity when I glimpsed the hall from outside so I am betting they'll have proper pics for sure.

Oh yeah, I have lots of pics

I'll keep you guys posted.

Sadly I didn't win anything at the painting competition, but I didn't expect anything with my entries so that's fine

Great to have met you and your lovely wife too Skrit, I hope you had a good time and a safe trip back home.

I heard there might be no painting competition on Crisis next year... the reason: it takes too much time to make the computer programme to count the scores. And the programme still didn't work properly. I thought, I'd volunteer for hand-counting the scores

what's wrong with a calculator?

I think the only solution for this to start working with a first-cut way of judging, like you see at all major painting competitions. The problem they have right now is that they judge every figure seperately, even the ones who are unlikely to win a medal.

This way the judging will take up less time.

I also think it's very silly for them to judge behind closed doors, from 13.00 till 17.00, when most of the people are at the event. A painting competition is supposed to attract people to the hobby and inspire them and it's also a way of displaying the quality of an event like this. So why close off the room completely? This way the painting competition is only interesting for the handful of people who participated.
