    I don't see any reason why I have to be the one that sends it to be honest.

    I'm appointing you TimBolton, to be my offical represntitive on the Jedi Council. You shall be the eyes and voice of the Welsh Forum.

    :)

    And be sure that you do try harder, or i'll tell Jairen on you. And I think you'll find that he is not as forgiving as me.

    Cropped images from the banner have been sent to Phill via email. I have also placed them online for you to view here - http://www.timbolton.freeserve.co.uk/ffuk_wales_banner/

    I have put them together so you can see them as complete here - http://www.timbolton.freeserve.co.uk/ffuk_wales_banner/fit_test.html

    And with a border round the main banner parts here - http://www.timbolton.freeserve.co.uk/ffuk_wales_banner/fit_test_border.html - so you can see how each image fits.

    I am not 100% sure about the top two parts where they meet. I'll have a think today and see how I can make them smoother. The left part will be the only part seen if a monitor is set to 800 x 600 or below.

    So that's your banner, been a pleasure, thanks for all the comments and support, was much appreciated :D

    -- Tim

    Well, you said that north Wales isn't well represented in the FF, and Ynys Môn has always had a magical attraction for me, so how about there? I'll have to visit my new domain next year now lol, incentive to take some pics and post em here.

    I'm a happy bunny!

    Yay! Great way to start the new year, our very own banner!

    Now I will be forever remembered as the guy fighting with lightsabers on the Welsh banner.

    Great work TimBolton.

    Wizzard!

    Thanks!

    It was a team effort, but with every team there comes a time when the most powerful and gifted individual casts off the dead weight and claims all the credit....

    :)

    Only joking. TaffBolton did a wonderful job.

    But I did help with some of the pics. ;)

    It's so much better than the new London one, it should be illegal!

    Arises as TaffBolton!
    What is your bidding my master :p

    I keep looking at the banner and thinking "I need to alter this ... and this" lol, please just take me away!

    As for inter-chapter rivalry ...

    [Obi to Palps]My dear RSA, chapter disputes are my speciality :D [/Obi smirks]

    J/k :p

    We were adding famous Welshmen - ie

    Christian Bale - BATMAN

    John Rees Davies - Gimili

    ;)
    I tried to make the whole Batman thing feel like Vader with the Imps, Gimli is wearing an Imp costume.

    Wow!! An incredible magnum opus, master timbolton sir, worthy of recognition in the archives of the jedi order!

    Three cheers and many beers to you, for your kind work!

    I helped....

    Where's my recognition?

    I swear, you people don't appreciate me and you'll all miss me when i'm gone!

    I'm suprised that you didn't know who all those Welsh actors were Iceman?

    Ecspecially since we've been talking about it and planning it for a few months.

    No matter. The banner rocks, that's all that matters.

    And as for interforum wars! It wouldn't be a war, more a slaughter! Those soft London ladies wouldn't know what hit them.

    Welshguy for the most part was the brains behind the banner, I was the paintbrush (and copy/paster) in PhotoShop, though the wiley Welshman had some secret PS skills hidden under that woolen sleeves of his too :p

    Glad the final banner is appreciated, I still keep looking at it and thinking ...


    :p

    The banners superb dude, stop nit picking. ;)

    And ignore some of the comments about it not being SW enough. I think it is a lot more SW themed than most of the banners around theforce.net

    It would be nice if we could have a sticky thread explaining the banner and why the pictures were included and what they mean, but in my view, it's pretty self explanitory.

    So are you working on any other banners?

    I believe the North one will be going up soon, I just need to email the bits and bobs to Phill, I may have a dabble at the general FFUK one, and I am going to start work on the Scotland trial one as soon as I have got the other workload done. I am doing a FF-UK: North T-shirt for myself to wear at the G-Mex Collectormania too :D

    I'll have to see if I can come to a Wales meet sometime this year ;)

    Oh, I almost forgot, do you use MSN at all? Recently we have been having a few "chats" enmasse via MSN, thought of you and if you want, PM me the msn and I can add you in on them. They tend to end up usually very random and confusing lol.
