2025 Legacy Crew Market Day wrap up

[Citizen Sade]

Time for the group photos (taken from a few different angles to get everyone in).







Kudos to all the participants, the organising crew (symphonicpoet essentially) and those who cheered people on. Special thanks to our lovely assistant @Eric who'll be running a live draw for the winner tonight at 18:00 GMT. Good luck!

A breakdown of who's who and who's whose to help with identification and tonight's draw.

 

[Eric]

The Draw will take place at 18:00 UTC today live in some online role-play software I have a licence for. If anyone cares to join me to watch the wonders of polyhedral plastic physics you are most welcome to register an account and login. Registration takes but a second (you're not obliged to, but I guess using the same username as the forum probably makes identification easier!). The software is totally browser based, so any modern browser should be fine. Video/Audio streaming if you want to enable such things and say hello! The room should be accessible now and I'll aim to be around a little before the roll. Obviously I might be overselling the excitement of watching a die roll, but with such an awesome prize at stake maybe not...

Hopefully catch a few folk a little later ...

We'll be rolling a D10 and re-rolling 0s for this crew selection!

This was a lot of fun. I enjoyed painting 🎨 my model. And more so seeing everyone else's. The dwarf with the cards is my favourite, but they are all pretty awesome and look great together.

That's 6pm GMT ^_^

I suppose that and "Eric how do you tell me you work with computers without telling me you work with computers". 1972 was when poor old GMT got booted out by UTC, sad times.

A six was rolled meaning you are a winner. @The Serene Badger! Congratulations.

Congrats to @The Serene Badger

 

[ManicMan]

I missed the roll ^_^ well done Badger... wait.. well done isn't right.. erm.. whatever ^_^

 

[The Serene Badger]

Oh wow! That's made my day that has! I shall have to move up getting that display cabinet, and sort out some market day scenery 😁

 

[symphonicpoet]

Congratulations Serene Badger! You've got a lovely fair coming your way! And Citizen Sade, thank you for gathering everyone together and properly documenting this spectacle! Wonderful stuff!

getting that display cabinet

Whilst very much not the cheapest option (and a fair bit more than when I bought mine years ago) I very much like my acrylic wall hung display cases: https://www.acrylicdisplaycases.co....splay-case-for-143-model-cars-with-8-shelves/

They do look good

 

[Citizen Sade]

@Eric How have they held up? All acrylic seems like a great option for old lead display/storage.

Lovely vibrant troupe. Well done everyone.

@Citizen Sade - very well, I've had them 4-5 years now. No signs of yellowing. In essence it's one large cover that lifts off - leaving the shelves and backboard in place. So it's quite good for keeping dust out. When you're first getting used to them you have to be careful lifting the covers off and putting them back on to ensure you don't accidentally catch and lift the bottom shelf when taking it off or knocking any miniatures on the top shelf when putting the case back on. Now I'm familiar with doing it it's not a problem.

I've got three of the one I linked to and one of these https://www.acrylicdisplaycases.co....l-display-case-for-176-model-buses-6-shelves/ which has the same outer dimensions but fewer shelves which allows for some of the taller models and banners.

 

[Michael Stockin]

If you have an antiques centre near where you it may be worth checking that for display cases.
You may well find something viable for a similar price or less, and it will look nicer ? and be more environmentally sound?

Congratulation Serene Badger hope to see your market when you get it ready

 

[Citizen Sade]

@Eric 👍 Any issues with the acrylic getting scratched?

@Michael Stockin Nice thoughts, but I'm somewhat reluctant to mix old lead and wood.
