martinfan5 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Uhhh.....can you tighten down the resolution a bit? Dont worry, the resolution will be just in person , it was purposely pixilated Edited March 22, 2016 by martinfan5
Misha Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Thought I was going to miss the event, as we were going to head back to Vancouver Island on the first, yet last night the plans changed ?! The DSC was one of the main reasons. Very happy to be able to attend and meet fellow forum members.Can I still get into the "stinkin'" badge deal?Looking forwards to the show,Cheers Misha
gasser59 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Sure can and glad your plans changed so you can attend.
Bill J Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 AZDeejay Service is going to be debuting something new for the awards part of the show, here is a sneak peak at it It's a big stack of those Asian kits that Jonathan has hoarded....
Randy D Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This is why I look forward to DSC !!!!!!!! Love living in Colorado but some days like today make me wonder 12" inches of snow and 40 mph winds this morning for trip to work. Randy

Danno Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 That SURE looks familiar, Randy! I miss the Rockies, especially Colorado, but I'm glad I had the chance to retire the snow shovel, ice scraper, chains, frozen door locks, and thermal underwear! Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!!
Bill J Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I would take a few more cold days. I have my AC on already because of all the 80 to 90 degree days we've had lately. Hope it is a nice cool day for the DSC.
Danno Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Extended forecast is currently indicating it should be partly cloudy, no rain, and high 83-84 degrees. Right on the avg high for the date. Forecast for the show is "Awesome Event!"

gasser59 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 16 days and counting....tic...tic....tic...tic...tic...tic...
gasser59 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Time is flying by and if you're like me, you've got a build or two you're trying to finish up. Bench time is in high demand.
Danno Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Indeed! And, if y'all think time is FLYING past for those trying to finish up a build . . . you oughta see how fast it flies when you're trying to finish up "building" a major model car and slot car contest/vendor expo/raffle event!! We're getting there, but boy, there are a lot of details! [Brad knows; he's helping a great deal.] I had no idea what I was getting into . . .
blunc Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I have come to the point of not doing the "last minute thrash" for contests, I'd rather have something that I'm satisfied with instead of something I will have to do over after a contest... so, I'll be on the WIP table again. the other "special project" will be completed before the contest.
Danno Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 I agree with you, Mike! Looking forward to seeing you again.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I will be there! Not sure my last couple projects will be done in time, but I will be there with or without them! LOL
