It will be a few days before it is back up. I took it down due to technical issues.

Cool Not sure that I like that it is trying to gazump Auto Assembly's usual slot though, that seems uncool. EDIT: Paul Cannon's site says it is April, which is far better. So not sure which one is right. I sure don't want to see two UK cons fighting each other! transforce.blog.co.uk/2010/03/09/new-uk-transformers-convention-8148543/ |

The video says 16th April, but the info bar on the side says 13th August D:
An April con would be cool though!

Graham,
Slagacon is my answer to the Mid-west's drought of TF conventions. Botcon was founded by two people from Indiana. I guess you might say Indiana was pampered to some great conventions. The last two years and even before that, I have not been able to go to Botcon, so I decided to have my own. My goal with Slagacon is to make a convention that is not only fun and enjoyable but also affordable. The prices for Slagacon are very reasonable. It is free to kids 10 and under, 11 to 15 years old is only $1.00 and anyone 16 or older is only $2.00. We are going to have a dealer's room and six different contests. These contests include: Art, Kitbash, Costume; G1 knowledge, Timed Combiner Assembly as well as a TF karaoke contest. These contests do cost a little extra $3.00 per entrant per event. Every attendee will be able to place their votes on the art, kitbash and costume contest. We will also be giving away door prizes every 30 minutes. Just a little info and there will be more info to come as the convention draws closer.

Sounds like a fun day, and ideal for those local and not able to get to the likes of Botcon. Best of luck with it all!

"Timed Combiner Assembly"
I love that idea! What combiners are you thinking of using? Devastator would be a bugger to do quickly.

I hope Gregg gets involved in TF Prime for doing a character.
But those profile look good - at least we dont have the DW nick your purse pose.

I've just finished the most complicated page. How does this panel look, it took a ridiculously long time, but I'm still not 100% sure.  |

Thanks. I was worried it was too dark, but then I'm never really sure how to do night-time colouring. (It is my fault for setting most of it at night!)
