For those of us who've never done a drop before what does it actually entail?

I'm probably going to be there but having hubby and babs tagging along I'm not sure how long I'll be able to come out and play for.

I'll be up for that if Edward James Olmos is going. Might have to break out my BSG Flightsuit again.

Crash space at G's reserved..

Usual drill is to provide a background while the flashbulbs go off for Abe. Sometimes there is a rebellion and marines go off to find people to take photos of them without an alien in them.

I'm definitely in for this one. Should be special

No prob matey. However, only really space for one more unless you want to get really comfy with Abe or the 'Troon!

And Jon's right; it might be a special drop

Sounds like fun.

I'll have a plastic VP-70 and probably my helmet for the table if you want it.

I can do BIGASS printing as well if you're after banners or whatever.

Now that is a handy thing to know...
We had been looking into banners but they were about 80-110 quid.

I think it's 44" across and however long you want. Normally it would be £40 a metre but I'm sure I can do you a deal.

Paper or vinyl?

Just paper at the moment - matt (42" wide), semi gloss and canvas (which is the £40 a metre stuff).

We're trying to sort out vinyl with our suppliers but I'm not sure how long that's going to take.

i been to london expo a few times, and hotels always sell out months in advance to all the anime lot. so really should book soon.
theres 3 hotels next to the event, the ibis, premier inn, and the custom house. apart from that, its pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

Still a while off yet so you might be able to pick up some more gear ...or even a set of armour by then....

I do actually keep a spare costume set with a flak jacket and shin armour. I can bring this along if wanted
