morslaA very blurry work-in-progress picture of the State of Origin trophy piece from Arcanacon... (shown here at about 200% of the actual size)
I really need to set up a proper photo rig, instead of taking handheld shots at the kitchen table...
I still need to finish sculpting it, and then cut the top off the metal disc (it's not centred at the moment). This will be painted and attached to the State of Origin trophy, which tracks the winning state from any Warmachine or Hordes tournaments with significant numbers of interstate players... South Australia convincingly won it at Arc this year. The next title will probably be at GenCon Oz.
Speaking of which, who else is going? If hotel rates are putting you off, try the Quest apartments - you can fit a few people in (we have four in a two-bedroom place), and they have a full kitchen (handy for saving money instead of eating out for every meal). For half the cost of a hotel, we're staying 5min from the convention, two blocks from the Botannic Gardens.
