As the tenth of November gets ever closer the guys at the Ammo Arms continue to make their preparations for the big night, the Ten Year party to celebrate ten years of Ammo forum!
The Angels check the levels for the performance. "You don't think that setting is too high?" asks Kat, "Nah, it's the ten year party! go big, or go home!" giggled Jasmine.
More pics tomorrow, when the doors open for the big night!

Things are already shaping up nicely for what looks to be a memorable event at the venerable AMMO Arms! It’s gonna be a blow-out for the record books!

the patrons are getting really excited now for the party! Joe has had to stock up on extra Atomic Ale! Not all good news though, Joe caught Dr. Diablos trying to sneak in some red bull in coke bottles . Don't worry though, the offending bottles were spotted and seized!

I hope you get as much fun as we do , I love the humour in these , it`s quite a talent to capture this I feel . Poor Bob is the only one who dosn`t seem to be enjoying himself , he too looks very funny in the background , you can imagine what he is thinking to himself .

Fantastic series of action party images, and a fitting tribute to everything that makes the AMMO Forum so much fun!
And wow, World Traveller Willie B fits right in rocking with The Faithless Angels! And his scenes on the stage serve as a visual allegory about all action figures, old and new, being welcome as part of the Action Man Mobile Ops community!
Outstanding sequence! Congratulations on ten successful years to everyone who has worked and played together to make AMMO a success!

Excellent set of photos , I have scrawled through them multiple times and have. Decided the guy in the white jumper on the Mike holding the pint is my favourite ….really like that one…

Cheers Chip! yeah, these shoots are huge fun, if not a little frustrating at times, when figs fall over, but all worth it in the end. It's so cool that you notice the small details of figures in the background doing stuff too. I am just so pleased you guys get a giggle too, really makes my day. Bob, is a good old stick. He quietly goes about his business, sorting out the trouble makers, He is a huge aid to Joe .

Many thanks Dave! I had a feeling these pics would be a big hit with you. I really wanted to try and convey the sense of fun, excitement and togetherness with the crowd in the Arms. I love the analogy about Willie with the Faithless Angels, old and new. That really does sum up Ammo and what we're all about. Sure, there are other forums out here for am and figures, and they all have their merits, but I have always felt that Ammo (We) really do sum up the fun side of figure collecting .

Congratulations on 10 successful years! For some reason it just feels right that my first post on here would be on such a momentous occasion. And man, what a celebration. I don't think I'll ever stop being impressed with the amount of detail in this bar and these scenes. This is the first time I've noticed the coasters on the tables. And the amount of pure joy in each of these shots is infectious. I can practically hear the unlikely combination of Willie and The Faithless Angels set. Truly feels like the perfect, most fitting way to commemorate this milestone. Raise a glass to the next 10 years!
And I have to say, I think Dave's take on Willie and the Angels being the perfect allegory for the diversity of collected eras in this hobby (and it sounds especially so in this community) seems so spot on.

Many thanks Rev for popping in and leaving such an amazing comment . I really did have so much fun putting this all together. It's so cool that you enjoy looking at the shots from the Arms, especially when I am too with your dios and sets . I have to say, the past ten years have been a great source of both joy and inspiration. I have made so many amazing friends and like minded people. this really is a brilliant hobby! I look forward to you sharing your stuff in our next ten years Rev! .

That looks to have been quite a party!!
It was definitely a 'be there or be square' event which is why Cliff has leaked some CCTV footage from his office taken a few days ago...
With Roger and Wolverine at the party it was probably better Hank wasn't there! :lol!:The guys were there in 'spirt' anyway with the 2.0 guys
Well done Dal. 10 years of AMMO, that's quite an achievement. I was actually a latecomer as I didn't join until 14th Nov! Sparklebudge messaged me about a new forum, , and the rest is history!
Here's to the next ten years!
