Steve H. Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I'm treating myself to a mini-vacation and am going to the NNL in Atlanta in a few weeks, flying in from California. Who can I expect to meet there? Regardless, I'm looking forward to a whole new NNL experience... Different people... different models... different attitude! I haven't flown with models in a carry-on since early last year, I hope it hasn't become any more difficult to get past security! Those guys scare me... wanting to reach in and grab my models! See ya on the 11th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintman1968 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Steve, hello my name is Bob and I will be in atlanta this year. I won't be entering anything, just going to enjoy the show and buy as much stuff as the wife will allow. I would not bring anything like glue or paint on the plane. with all the new security I think I would only bring built up kits and try to pack them in a manner that will be easy for security to look at to try to reduce any broken parts. If you need anything (paint-glue) or anything that may cause you airport problems e-mail me and I will try to bring whatever you need as I will be driving in from Knoxville. I'm not hard to find in a crowd 6'1" long haired tattoo coverd freak. we will see you there have a safe trip. just let me know if I can help.

Zoom Zoom Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Home Depot/Lowes carry some really nice metal cases w/foam inners, you cut out the foam blocks and insert your models. Great for carry-on luggage, that's how three of us took our models to the NNL East via Air Tran. No damage at all, no problems w/security. Didn't even have to open any of the cases. We looked sort of like the model geek version of the Blues Brothers. All wearing identical ACME shirts and carrying identical cases 8) We'll have a "Model RX" table at the show for folks who need a place to sit down and repair a model. We'll have simple tools and glues so if you can't bring or forgot your own emergency supply, you should be able to get it presentable.

My stuff always travels in a case thats easily viewable, its just that some TSA chiefs always want to grab! Bob Downie says they'll have a repair table available, so I'll count on that if I need anything. See ya at the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
