From the convention Center .. I asked them Hi William 🙂 We are only two floors, the first level and second level. We do have a passenger elevator that is located behind the Sales & Event Planning offices and in the alcove that the ATM is also located on the first floor. On the second floor it is located just to the right of the escalator as you are facing the escalator. Both are marked with ample signage as well as for our events we have Host that can direct you to where ever you intend to go 🙂 The Hilton Hotel that is physically attached to the Grand Wayne Center's building and is all "one building" inside has its own elevator bank that serves the hotel to their sleeping rooms and meeting rooms on their side of the building (or east end of building facing Calhoun Street) and are located just past the front desk in the hotel. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Stacey Paunovich | Assistant Business Manager main: 260.426.4100 | spaunovich@grandwayne.com | grandwayne.com 120 W.

Added wine lead for seatbelts and a rudimentary photo-etched Hud and some mirrors Microscope decals found last year (after long look time) Modified the tailplanes to reflect their motion capabilities and added brass rod thru fuselage to support them.

End of 2024 1/350 USS Johnston was one of the destroyer escorts for Taffy 3 . Infamous for the Battle off Samar 25 October 1944. Fantastic story and heroic actions by the destroyers versus a much larger Japanese force. Ship was painted in Measure 21 which was mostly Naval Blue and Deck Blue Uschi rigging,3d Printed weapons, Brass mainmast and yardarms and numerous other features added to this ship. This is the Tamiya Fletcher ship model with quite a few changes for late war outfitting. Starting with a 3d printed Square Bridge which I added a tarp surrounded upper railing and photo-etched doors. I also used the Trumpeter USS The Sullivans for numerous items such as the center section and the aft gun platform for the 20 mm Toms Modelworks Fletcher Photo-etch was used throughout ,including railings ,depth-charge racks and radars. 1/2"Brass Gun Barrels from L'ARSENAL Thanks for Looking Comments Always welcome Cheers Bill D
