You can either buy the polymer clay and make one ... or get someone to sculpt one for you :lol: :wink: :lol:Originally Posted by alexaff

They are Oddfae by Dawn Schiller :) Not cheap, but each one is individually crafted so you can request features etc
When I get more time I'll be doing my own versions but these two are special as they were Father's Day presents from my two youngest sons :)
I do sculpt a bit when I have the time...
This one's actually luminous so glows in the dark and took about five minutes. The guys in the pocket watches will take me considerably longer :?
At least the polymer clay is a heckovalot easier to work with than the stone I started with :blackeye:
My first attempt
Second go - the curly bits on the side of the head are horns - can't really see them in this pic
Please excuse my boastfulness but I am quite proud of them - the little blighters took ages and I nealry lost a thumb :)

Looks like a good time was had, well done guys, sorry i missed it.
Thought they'd be more watches!
Also, whoever owns the black case can you pm me with your thoughts on it please..
Your forthcoming one was much mentioned Minkle. Everyone is looking forward to it; TZ and TWF/RLT. Should be a good turnout. I suspect I'm away then but if not, see you there.

Not as good as your GTG's Mike. Wasn't keen on the "open air" venue or moreso the seating arrangents. Sloped off after just over an hour whereas I'm usually good for a 4hr session with you. ;)
Fair point about the venue; will bear it in mind if we have another (and if I'm still required to sort it out). We had a cosy indoors area reserved for us but the ones who arrived on time held a straw poll and accepted the management's offer of an outdoor balcony due to the oppressive heat.
Others found it a bit out-of-town, so all things to be borne in mind.
4 of us pitched more watches at Leeds ! :D
You're welcome, thanks for the kind words :)Originally Posted by dreamboat10
I've actually been asked in a couple of threads and had numerous PMs about them

It was a good GTG, a nice mix of new and vintage pieces.
Could we have another one soon? :D
2am tomorrow inside Watches of Switzerland, then Goldmanns then maybe The Arndale Centre. I'll Blackberry all my mates and the regulars.

I'd be up for one, but probably not until mid-October.
Listening to comments after the last one:
Located not quite so out-of-town?
Preferably a more secure room? (TBH we were due to have our own indoor little out-of-the-way alcove last time, but the unexpected appearance of a fine sunny day lured us out onto the balcony after a straw poll of those attending.)
Sunday lunchtime OK?
So- who is up for organising?
And all wearing hoodies :DOriginally Posted by unclealec
I'll be up for it for mid-October as the baby should arrive any day now....scaaaary.
23rd of October (Sunday) any good?
Should I change the poll? Actually I will do it now and see what happens....
Might I suggest another thread Michael?
And best of luck to you & especially your wife (do I recall her as being named Ali? I was too charmed to pay attention to details).
Hi Alec, thanks :)
No problem with the new thread, good idea.. ...I will leave this one to die off
