I don't know if there have been any "officail" desicions, but May I throw in one more idea?
How about a Vader figure spray painted gold! There are several different versions of him as we all know, but perhaps a suitable version is the one that came with the Capture of the Tantive IV battlepack. He is simply standing with his hands at his hips. Paint him gold, he looks like a trophy! Maybe even glue him onto a little wood base.
Just a thought, but whatever we decide I am cool with!

Ali had the idea of having an actual Vader figure cast in bronze (like baby shoes) and set ontop of a trophy. The trophy is no big deal, but we haven't checked into the bronzing. Would probably either lose detail, or we would have to use a POTF Vader with a stiff vinal cape to hold any shape.

 Here is another ad. Of corse because I sit down to do something on my day off, I get called in to go to work. I'll do more when time permits. |

I really like the gold Lego Vader and "I find your lack of participation disturbing". That really has to be part of the BCA logo! Good work!

AHHH the classic 70's Star Wars deco Van! That is a really cool Ad, DV. I LOVE the Gunship scrap with the Jawas too!

Agree, I love the 70s van! I like the way you have cool items - items that collectors would target - in your ads.
No official decisions yet, DJ! It looks like a fight between gold LEGO minifig Vader, and a 3 3/4" figure (bronzed or spray painted), for the trophy logo. I think we should take a vote so we can then work on the one choice we go with.
Hmmm, I wonder if I can set up one of those cool "Poll" things that Lord Vilgore made? Actually, scratch that - I will wait and see which 3 3/4" Vaders people suggest as good poses for a trophy model before making the poll. DJ121 has already mooted the figure from the Capture of the Tantive IV Battle Pack. Are there other Vaders in good poses?
After we have some suggestions for 3 3/4" Vaders, I'll make up the poll with those as choices along with the LEGO minifg Vader.
Wait, did I say LEGO? I meant LEGO®, of course.

The local trophy shop closed. I guess no one is celebrating economic turmoil.
Anyway I still have no idea if bronzing can even be done to a figure. Havent had the time to search out a new trophy shop.
I have at least one more ad to finish. Has anyone put them up in their blogs or signatures? I personally haven't. Just curious.

Well I think we should only do real statues to give away for the end-of-the-year awards, if at all.
For the logo, can the artistes amongst us possibly make a 'bronzed' figure just with PhotoShop slash Gimp slash MS Paint ? Is that possible?

I've never tried "bronzing" anything before. This is my first attempt(s).  |
