Down to the wire…

It’s almost here.  The Big Show is this weekend, and I’ve been working non-stop to get ready.  I’ve managed to finish two last-minute buildups of new kits from 2 Fat Guys so we have some display pieces to show off at the Lizard Lounge, and despite my blowing up the lighting system-twice-on my Seaview build, I’m optimistic that it will be ready for display Saturday morning - even if it means re-soldering the lighting system in the hotel Thursday night. (Yeah, I’ll be there Thursday. I’m attending Kitbuilder’s U on Friday, before the official happenings get underway. So if you’re an early arriver, too, look for me in the Exec Inn bar. Just find the big bald guy with the beard and the glass of bourbon in his hand…) There’s two other projects that I was hoping to have, but I just ran out of time. One’s a definite for next year, the other’s a 1/6 scale bust that I might bring along and try to work on. Who knows? It might even be finished (but wet and tacky) in time to put it on the contest table. if not, I can always show it off at the SSM (Not-at-the-)Pool Party Saturday evening…

I’m looking forward to hooking up with Terry Webb and David Fisher again this year - we have something planned (if it works out) that should make for a killer podcast. Stay tuned…
