    And transport for you is organised as well Beez, as Tyken is keeping his beat up old Datsun for you to use when you get here... ;) So you can get from A to B....

    Just spoke to dad (the other owner operator) of AVS, and he said "Yeah, sure, we'll help out" so looks like we have a sponsor, kind of.

    I have a friend who's husband works for Dulux, I might be able to get some paints cheap....let me ask.

    with the pictures of the trailer I can get an idea of how to design it so we can build it.

    most of the paint will be on the covererings.

    In fact most likely spray paint may work better.

    and doesnt your brother have a flatbed that could tow it.

    we could put one of his cars on it as well.


    for advertising his business.

    LOL!! He just said if he had a flat bed, that's the way he would do it. He just said he's got the spray painting facilities there, (used to be a spray painter) and he will get some pictures asap.

    EDIT: He has asked me to get you lot to find some detailed pictures/drawings of the Sail Barge...he has a project now and is excited about it. Beez start PMing him and work together on this.... ;)

    Then I propose that we give the spectators weapons and allow them to kill each gungan!

    Errr ... advertise?? How about the personals column?

    "SAFF seeks 10 single females partial to metal bikinis for fun and a big haul in November. Must have out of this world personality and enjoy working with shackles and big slugs."

    Something like that ... :p

    Have already offered my car, the numberplates work and happy to have it 'decorated' within reason....

    sneezes I won't drive, and as Tyken will be in costume too, I have asked dad (our dad) if he'd do it and he said yes. ;) I have a tow ball and a V6, sure it can handle a sail barge... ;)

    ok I dont believe your vehicle should tow the sailbarge.

    its possible with fifteen or more people we are looking at over almost two metric tons and thats without the trailer.

    what is the towing capacity.

    Also will the trailer have electric brakes. It helps to to stop with the weight.

    also, the trailer will need to be equipped with exterior lights for taking it to the parade light. not much just temporary lighting we can move.

    but sound will most likely be wanted. We will need an additional battery, most likely a deep cycle battery for a boat. Also a twelve volt power inverter to install someone's sound system that can be moved in a moments notice.


    AD can you get me some pics please.

    Not that many people in it, only 5 or 6 kids! :eek: Not for us adults, only for the kids and the trailer is a 6x4 trailer. Not building anything that grand! Talk to Tyken please, he has ideas and certainly not that huge... Music would be good, but a good boombox would cover that.....our 'pageants' aren't like your 'parades', no security, crowds aren't that huge and the actual area you walk in is only around 15 metres across.

    I can't get pictures right now, I have the flu and it's pouring rain, so I can't be standing in teh rain at his place taking pictures of his trailer...sorry bro. But ask him, he has a digital camera and I believe it's on his front lawn right now. ;)

    [face_tired]Wow that's a lot of info that I've been avoiding to read!

    Oh, I'm not slave Leia-ring, but I do like Mara Jade's dancer-girl costume from when she was undercover as Arica.

    Lookie: [image=http://estore.seetwo.com/prodimages/sw11x14/mcrandle2-signed.jpg]

    I think I'll go for a non-seethrough black leotard though, and make the split not so high.

    I'm also back in the design-artist game, so if you need some help, give me a shout. I'm up for it!
