I’s got batteries, for when my ideas fail me!

I can beat that! my bench has completely overflowed and is consuming my living room

One last ammo case...

Holy mother of storms - great work and an amazing concept https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=6s&v=WwN0gscOzIE

The display table admin asked me if anyone here would be reserving a table to LSM members, as he doesn’t see us on the reservation list. I’d do it myself except that I won’t be there until Friday and will be paying my registration at the door Is there anyone who will be taking display models along who’d be willing to take on a table reservation?

That’s a beautiful bird! i’ve not Seen the kit in-person, though i’ve heard some of the issues. From where I sit, and issue with the kit is just that a kit problem, not a builder problem. You made a beautiful bit of artwork here - that’s a beautifully-done NMF, and the paint/decals/weathering are spot on. I think it’s on Hobby Boss to fix the wing and other issues - but none of that detracts in any way from the results you achieved i know with utter certainty that i’m Not up to that much bare metal - yet

Now you’re going to make me blush! [tries vainly to shrink head back to normal] i am hoping to get feedback on the live version, taken as a whole. I’d enter it in the contest except that it’s far more wood than plastic, which doesn’t seem to fit a plastic model convention

This is gorgeous work! I’m specifically impressed with your mods to the mods of the original mods...!

This is *very* cool... I love the collaboration that happens between the different companies - it helps to leverage different strengths and we get a better kit overall. i am looking very much forward to that A-20! I’d been watching the slow dribble of hints from HpH. I finally asked them about a timeline and they said that it would be an HGW kit, towards the end of next year - which aligns perfectly with what was mentioned a few posts back. i’ve been looking at that C-47, and trying to figure out if I could convert it to an AC-47... I unfortunately haven’t (yet) found anyone doing the miniguns in 1:32. Everything else, I could scratch

Let’s! who else is bringing goodies?

Awesome approach - I like the way you look for opportunities to play in a bigger sandbox

I’ll have the Picket Boat there, at least by Friday noon-ish. It’s sadly all I’ll have done. If we have enough Display Models between us, it’d be truly fun to have a table.

I can print stickers, but not regular plastic tags

I’m arriving Friday mid-morning (I couldn’t get Wednesday or Thursday off work, dammit!)

Ropes complete and drying in place. I need to add a touch of weight and a bit more solution (diluted gorilla glue, water and Secret Weapon sewer-water wash) to get the detonator line to hang properly, but i have to wait for the coil to dry first. i’ll be loading coal (O-scale coarse model railroad ballast) into some of the scuttles next, while I wrap up the ammo cases. Ammo case and some 3D printed buckets ready for priming and painting...

It’s been quite the journey! Issue 25/25 of the ModelSpace Millennium Falcon landed at my front door about two minutes ago... That’s a bit over two years of wait, lost shipments, replacement of missing shipments, 3 or 4 moves... now I just need to build the thing...

I don’t look anything at all like my profile pic... but I’ll wear a tag with Crazypoet, LSM and one of the stunning LSM Signatures that have been posted over the years

Ha! Yep - first time to this conference. I'm planning to be the worst possible combination of clueless tourist and kid in a candy store!

That interior is stunning!

Need to find some way to identify each-other... Secret handshake? Specific color of shot-glass? LSM Logo on our conference badges?

This looks like a fun conversion! Watching with interest...

I'm still catching up on things after a long break myself - this is gorgeous! I'm happily watching over your shoulder....

Soooo.... I'll be at the Nationals Friday and Saturday. Any plans for getting together as a group for a pub-crawl or some such on Friday night? I look forward to putting faces to names!

That's an awesome Dauntless! Gives me some inspiration - and I look forward to seeing it there

Hmmm... i’m Wondering if their 1:32 turnbuckles could work on a 1:24 boat y’all have given me food for thought!
