501st 4 life, b******!

Yesterday, I attended Collectormania Glasgow, at the Braehead Arena.Basically, I wanted to treat the event like one, big photo shoot - not just a day to meet my idols. It's been a while since I did anything creative.
There were only 14 shots on my camera's internal memory, so I had to make each shot count. An SD card would have used up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much battery power. The camera gobbles them up like nothing else. :)
Anywho.. Technicalities aside, here are a few shots from the day:
I loved these guys. There were black stormtroopers and even a Jango Fett kicking about on the day.
Original shot. This is my favourite pic from the event.
.. Don't get too close to Lord Vader. I can still picture him walking the floor with armed guard looking ominous and superior.
The original Lord Vader. David Prowse. Wonderful gentleman.. He talked about his body building career, and the secrecy/paranoia that surrounded the original Star Wars trilogy.
Peter Davidson. Doctor Who no.5.
Nic Brendon does the Snoopy Dance. xD
The 'itchy foot' shot. He blamed it on his dog.
Shane Rangi. Stuntman and Nazgul Witch King from LOTR. A very warm, cool guy.. I greeted him in maori, and had a few good conversations over the course of the day.
Who you gonna call? Ernie Hudson. Winston Zedmore from Ghostbusters.
Marina Sirtis aka Councillor Deanna Troi from Star Trek TNG.. A very lovely, chatty woman.
Guests and shenanigans aside, I managed to pick up all three issues of 'Better Days.' Woop! Plus, issue one of the original series. (Still need to snag issue three. They're like gold dust.)
