Excellent. I love Saul's kits. I have them all except for the new one he announced for Jerseyfest Dave

Don't care Richard. History doesn't interest me in the least about that kind accuracy so no worries. Parade is just fine Dave Dave

2019. And yes they have announced a hotel and I am sure the web site will be open soon. Not sure what hotel was noted Dave

FWIW, one reason that the board wanted to go multiple years was that, as a former board member, it was gut wrenching to have three good bids in one year and only pick one. Groups spent a lot of time preparing them and rejecting good bids was really tough. I do like the idea of planning out further too Dave

2030 is San Marco's TX, Dave

Really nice. Love the paint job Dave

Dave Must say I disagree on the bust. It takes as much skill to use a sculpting program such as Zbrush and get the figure right, printed correctly and then cast, built and painted as it does to sculpt one from clay. Great series of articles in Amazing Figure Modeler on the whole subject the last 2-3 issues. Really digs into the issue Dave

FWIW, this will happen much sooner than later as many figure kits are already 3D sculpted and printed and then casat in resin. Or ytou can buy and opwn you own kit. Here's some examples: https://www.gambody.com/ Dave

FWIW, its that way with razor blades and cold medicine. We have such a meth problem around us that the local stores lock up the chemicals and the razor blades due to them being stolen and sold for money. Sad state of affairs Dave

I just checked and it opened (7:30AM EST) Dave

Great looking color scheme. Nice Dave

Nice. I saw a guy in Amazing Figure Modeler do that for a Godzilla diorama and it was spectacular Dave

No problem at all. I have two moldings of the early version (with the 4 bladed props) and one later with the "blender" props. If I can help with markings, let me know as I have most of the Bingo Decals sheets for these and I am only doing ones that were stationed on the USS Carl Vinson Dave
