Will there be a WIP/Primer category at the DSC? ?

Thanks, Misha

[gasser59]

There is always a Projects table and along with that, as I understand it, there is a Display area as well.

Bring 'em along.

[Danno]

Yes, Misha, there is.

Looks like I'm gonna miss it this year. Things just aren't going right. Work is slow and a baby at home, gotta take care of him first. Maybe next year.

That's awesome, Chris!   Just to know that ~ after ALL THESE YEARS ~ it may only be a year away!     Kewl!

 

I better get in as much teasing as I can over the next 370 days!  

 

PS:  No pigeons.  You'll have to bring your own.

 If you're interested in a MCM badge, it just might be too late to sign up. If you're coming and haven't mentioned so in this thread, go ahead and do so - we'll see what can be done. No promises though.

I think I mentioned earlier I would be attending, but cannot remember if I did. Did I? If not I be there, getting ready to leave NoCal Friday morning.

[gasser59]

Yes you did Curt. You're all set.

[russosborne]

If we register at the door can we still attend the bbq?

Not sure if I will, but thinking about it. Honestly I'd be registering just so I could go to the bbq. My in progress build would be a sealed box at the moment. Nothing close to built. I had one kit I wanted to do a quickie build just to have an entry,  but it didn't happen. Too much real life happening.

Thanks,

Russ

[Danno]

Russ,  C'mon down!  You are welcome, it's not a problem.  

As a current member of Moonlight Modelers, you've got skin in the game!

Thanks, Dan.

I just lost my job today, probably won't make it Saturday.

Russ

[Danno]

Sorry to hear that, Russ.  

But, hey ~  Stop by any way.  It costs NOTHING to get in, lots of great models to ogle and plenty of friends to visit with, lots of Forum members to meet and greet, and it costs nothing to hang out among kindred spirits for awhile!  

We'll leave the porch light on for you . . .   

 

[Greg Myers]

Take yer mind off things. Who knows, maybe a job prospect will pop up.

Those of us who are graphic artists by training cheat ....... and make our own badges. Alas, can't stay all day, must depart before noon due to standard weekend elderly parent care obligation.
