Heat wasn't really a hassle in costume, yes it was hot, but it's always hot when you wear one. We were stationed right by the restaurant which was pumping out heat like no one's business, so we just took regular breaks outside in the cold to drum up business and to appreciate the warmth a bit more :)

I know the Olympia Italian Jobsworth guy had a go at me for putting a sign up on a wall and told me to take them down. I have no doubt he was on a mission and a potential cause of missing informational posters.

I must admit I was a little disappointed with the Cosplay turn out, I'm guessing it was the weather but the place seemed really drab without the dressers uppers (if that's a word). So to all the people I recognised: Catwoman (Emme/Wonderwoman from LFCC) Multiple Man Rogue & her entourage (She was at LFCC) Starfleet officer All the Doctor Whos Arnie (Who I ended up having a drink with in the end) Cloud Stryfe Ghostbusters The Furries The Manga people I just never recognise Terminator biker lady (How can i forget that finger?) Thanks for dressing up!

Yeah, he confirmed it to me when I looked at him, though I was wearing a helmet and holding a gun at the time :) It was clever, though I bet the cut out was getting tiresome to hold after a while.

I'll say in Showmasters' defence, there were a lot of things that were out of their control at the event. I was witness to several examples of Olympia events staff undermining the work that Showmasters staff had set out. There was one particular Italian sounding gentleman who loved to throw his weight around in a Jobsworthy way.

All three Fetts would be awesome at the event, the ever loveable Jeremy Bulloch, LFCC Fan favorite Daniel Logan and Jango Fett Temuera Morrison :) Jeremy told me at LFCC that he only lives 10 mins away from Earls Court.

What would also be nice is to have a tardis installation, LFCC was full to the eyeballs of Doctor Who Cosplayers, so to have a meeting point/photo thing would be quite cool :)

No problem ^^ your armour was amazing! Ta muchly, built the helmet myself :) If you are serious about making some armour, try typing Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club into a search engine, join the forum and my name (Saz) is the same there and we'll help you out.

Heh! That's me! Is it ok if I use that photo for the Mandalorian Mercs UK website?

I stayed at the Oxford and it was £70 a night there, it was clean, if a bit pokey and the breakfast was a little sparse, however, it did the job really, which was a place for me to put my head down, a shower and a little bit of space to hang my armour. My only issue was that my room was right under the 24 hour reception, so on the friday night I was woken up by the guy at the desk tramping around a lot, though I must admit, I'm sure it was partial excitement as well.

Nothing of the sort, we just interacted with people in the queue giving out wanted posters to people to look out for famous rebel star wars characters. People were in the queues for over 20 minutes and we just went out to split up the waiting time, I think only one person didn't want to know and I left them alone immediately. For example there was a princess peach and I asked her if she'd seen Princess Leia because: "you know, you royalty stick together and such!" :) Though I must admit, I tend to go towards the people who look at you from the side and pretend to ignore you in the hopes that you don't spot them. That sort of body language actually screams "look at me!"

More like a lot of photos in quick succession, but someone's managed to capture my stand out moment of LFCC :)

Heh! I remember her, she was one of my queue "victims"!!

Just noticed the Tardis 2 lot were there, odd I didn't see them at LFCC or I would have said "hi", we were chasing them around at CM16 for their Youtube vid. :)

Well, let me be the first to apologise for not appreciating the view, it was hot enough in my helmet as it was Man card has been handed in...
