Iron Joe 2
"Which scene will reign supreme?"

Have you ever seen a diorama at a show and said to yourself, "I can do that!"?

Did you ever catch yourself taking close up shots of show or custom dioramas so you could try to replicate it with your own "twist"?

Ever wonder what it would be like to go toe-to-toe with one of the hobby's finest scale builders?

Well, at JOELANTA 2008, you may get your chance!

Finethy Productions, in conjunction with Joeworld-Online and Cotswold Collectables, is proud to present IRON JOE 2! During the one-hour contest, a lucky contestant will be randomly selected from a blind draw. The selected person will pit their skills against one of the hobby's best set builders. Both the contestant and master will receive a "Secret Accessory" which will need to be incorporated into the diorama. (Previously used accessory was a pair of binoculars.) The contestants will then choose an individual to assist in their build. This can be anyone in the crowd with the exception of the two non-selected masters.

The master builder and contestant will receive an envelope of money to be used on the sales floor to buy figures and accessories of their choosing. Builders will scour the sales floor and scoop up the best deals to best accent their piece.

When time expires the dioramas will be judged by a panel of experts and displayed for show attendees to admire. The winner will be announced after judging is complete.

Building supplies will be provided so all you will need is imagination and a competitive spirit.

So, bring your "A" Game and prepare to get dirty for fun and prizes!
We will be asking for people who are interested in entering the competition on Saturday morning! Be sure to enter for your chance to face one of the Masters!

The one-hour competition is open for all attendees to watch!
Be sure you're there for it!

Can you believe the pieces were found on the sales floor and the
whole diorama was built in about 45 minutes?
