Interest thred for TDH Helmet Workshop at Dallas All-Con

This topic was brought up at lunch after the SciFi Expos Fan day this past weekend. My self, Darth Miller, and SpidyFett all thought this could be allot of fun and worth doing but I wanted to see what others thought before I reserved a room and time for it.

What it would be: Well, in my mind it would be a chance for members new and old on this forum to bring there helmets and I will supply large format Reference pics mounted on boards. We can do walk through on different styles on painting, weathering, and customization. Take questions and even discuss things like the MR vers. fan made and show the differences so far.

Can it be officially named "The Dented Helmet workshop"???
I would hope so but I am just a member on this board and don't want to act like I own a piece of this forum, I am a guest but I am not sure who to ask for permission to officially connect the work shop with this forum.

When can it be???
There is time on Sunday afternoon. I think that would be best. There is time on Sunday during the costume competition but sadly I want to attend that competition so I think I will vote a big no on having it at that time.

Who will do the workshop?
I think if Spidyfett would be willing to speak at it, DarthMiller, I can, and who ever else from this board that is attending All-Con should talk about what they did to there bucket to make it screen accurate or unique.

Just post your thoughts on this and I will take care of the rest!
Thanks
Justin

What weekend is it again??
I think I would be free..

Batninja said he'd like to do something as well on his ammo belts...:thumbsup

yeah, Sunday in Houston would be best!

:)

Its in Dallas TX (Irving actually but thats basicly Dallas)

darn it, foiled again!

sounds great!! count me in!!

Right on!!

Id love to go.....live in illinois though........one of these years......

any room for a total noob? :)

I met a couple of you at the DFW prop party this weekend. And some of you may have seen the Don Post 97 I have been charged with trying to improve. While not the greatest example of a helmet, it's perfect for a beginner to learn on.

If anything I'd just like to meet everyone.

Neil

yes man....we would love to have you show up!!

Thats the enitre point of this work shop, to bring people interested in these props and the things we do to make them better, more screen acurate or just plain cool! An open forum if you will.

I am excited!!

I sent the offical email finalizing the time for 1pm on sunday!

I will be putting together a banner for the All-Con website to promote the workshop.

Continue to post with your ideas, questions and concerns about this work shop between now and March 19th at 1pm!!!

Remeber the event is March 17, 18, 19. The workshop is at 1pm on March 19th.

It's great to see this happening. I'll try to come up with something for 'show and tell'. :)

Kick arse!!! I will be mounting some things to foam core to show examples of the Helmets evelution, and key details. I will also bring my practice bucket to show a before and after on some different things, as well as the printable templates that I have created! If any body has access to THD T-shirts, those would be great to have onhand as well!

What weekend is it again??

well then...I'm in!!!

No need to break the law:lol ...I think I can make it..:thumbsup

**Should we get some approval of some kind from the "DENT" or something though??:?

We only need aproval to call it an "Official THD Workshop" and use there logo. I posted on this thred asking for that and I will email the powers that be.. i.e. the admin but beyond that I am not sure what to do.

I can't remember exactly who, but either DustinCropsBoy, TylerDurden, of one of the mods owns the logo. You may want to PM them, just in case.

I emailed one and PMed the other and also shot them a link to this thred incase they wanted to read what we were thinking.

SO should we assume "They" really don't care and do it anyway?....

I'd like too but since I've decided to take 6 months off work to be at home with Baby and Mom funds are a bit tight. Plus It's been **** cold up here the last couple days! Brrrrrr..

Thats it! THD needs a chater jet. That would solve this! :lol :lol :lol

Man... that is a lot of talent that is going to be present in Dallas! :)

I wish Michigan wasn't so far away! :(

OK, got the final OK from The Dent, I have badges ready to go and be laminated for the event, the banner for it has been sent to All-Con admin for the site. We are a go, I repeat we are a go for launch!!!

SWEET!!!!.....:cheers ...can't wait now.

"Badges??! We don't need no steenking badges!"

Sorry...had to. Couldn't resist. :)

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Man, I wish I could go. I think it's a great idea, a workshop where people can trade ideas and share tips and techniques is awesome. Unfortunately, I live about a thousand miles away.

that is awesome!!

Living in the UK sucks, hence I wont be there :thumbsd On the other hand if we CAN get a charter jet im in.

I may be interested in coming to this. I'd be coming from Buffalo, NY. Two things would really need to happen though for this to become a reality...A) I'd need someplace to stay with someone...B) I'd need someone to meet me at airport to show me around and such (never been to TX. Someone (like DM) PM me and let me know if either of the above two are a reality. I'd really like to meet some of my fellow TDH bros and gain some of their wisdom.:fettesb

I am sure this could be arranged... and most of us will have rooms at the con so that would fix that if you dont mind air matressess.

i could pick you up at the airport. I dont have room at my house but I would be glad to help in any way. I will PM you tomorrow. I am off to a ARENA football game tonight!!

Hey guys...any specifics on this? Where do we meet? or will it be obvious...I've never been to the all-con before. Do I need to buy a ticket for sunday (this is prolly all I'd be going to)

thanks!

Muttley, the workshop has been moved to Saturday afternoon in the House of Commons room at the convention, starting at 1:30PM. It's not a big hotel, so you should be able to find us pretty easy.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Okay, I totally missed that this was on Saturday. Batninja, I wish I woulda read your post sooner...plus I think I've seen Evan's sig picture like a million times...sigh. I'm getting older and the senses are slippin :D

somebody fill me in on the cool stuff that went on...and any door prizes that I missed :(
