taz101 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Guys, I am going to start my own Alien poster at LFCC this year. Black just doesn't pop for me and I was thinking of doing white. Question - I know they have a lot of colours at the desk but is white common?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Not white no. Silver is usually present, but for white I guess you'd need to bring one of those paint pens that people have discussed on here a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the signers ok with taking pens from punters I mean will they refuse etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Beaker Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Never had a problem with a guest using my own pens. Ive started bringing my own for auto's as by the end of the day some of those nibs are pretty worn out! Plus I have a poster that has to be signed in a specific shade of blue!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 No they won't have a problem using your pen, you may have trouble getting it back though so make sure you bring a back up if you are getting more than one guest on it. I've lost a couple of pens when the guest has been distracted and and I don't want to say to them 'oi give my pen back' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't framed it yet, was worried that the sunlight or lightbulbs would bleach and fade the poster eventually. Does anyone here use any specialised frames that prevent this?

Looking for recommendations basically... My framers discouraged me from buying UV glass for one poster as he said given the size of it the price would be massive. I just try to keep it out of direct light. Your best bet might be to get quotes from online frame services and you can see what the price is like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for recommendations basically... I can answer this. I am in the process of framing my stuff with custom black wood frames. The glass you need is 'UV Glass'. It's quite a bit more expensive than normal glass but A) it's SUPER clear BB) It protects from sun rays and fading to an extent. Here is my T2 with it. You literally can't even see the glass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot, it was very busy so it was very quick. I was telling him about the picture I got signed as he hadn't seen it before and liked it. I emailed the artist after and told him his work had Benedict's seal of approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tonights Big guest will take a lot to top this for me :-D This is exactly how I feel! Showmasters, well done on getting a fantastic and rare Aliens guest! More please (I'm greedy), you know that they're always popular. For me, William is THE guest of the entire show, I'm so excited that he is coming to LFCC. He did a small show in the Highlands in 2016 and other than that, I can't remember seeing him attending any other UK con in all the time I've been doing them. Does anyone know the last time he was signing at an event prior to the 2016 Scottish one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 And to anyone who may know the answer, please make this a yes/no answer. Please remember the forum rules don't allow discussion of other events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruces Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 At a glance of the guest list, William Hope is the biggest guest at the con. I just wish he was attending Collectormania too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Hi etikut, just an FYI before the mods tell you, if a guest can appear at other events they are usually announced for them at the same time. Whilst it's not impossible guests may be later announced for another event it's best to assume he isn't able to appear at C25. You are welcome to make the suggestion in the suggestion thread of C25 but 'get them for this event as well' posts aren't encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taz101 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hey Guys So I am thinking of doing a Pre Order for William Hope and Lance Hendrickson Few questions: 1) Can I add both to basket and pay then send my poster it and both will get signed that way? 2) I'd like both personalised with character name, is that under "Send your own item, select item closest to what your sending: non of the above personalized, YOU MUST SAY WHAT IN THE COMMENTS BOX"? 3) Can I send a special pen (Neon Blue Sharpie) for them to sign in if I include in the poster tube? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
