Congrats to your daughter. So now you're technically speaking the father of the bride?

NEAT! Don't know how I missed the start of this.
Glad to see your tracks held their shape - I've had issues with a couple of DML's sets in this scale.

Lui, you know something? The more I think about it the more I think you are absolutely right Leon, most gracious Sir. Hopefully with a little bit of a wash and stuff they'll look suitably worn and wood-ish Dupes, Really? The tracks are made of a softer plastic than the rest of the kit, so I could see how that could happen. Lucked out I guess.

I am glad you have your priorities in right order!!! LOL Hope we can get together while I am in town but I completely understand if your schedule is hectic as I still remember how things were crazy for my wedding 18 years ago.
Will talk with you via email from now on.

Hang in there Jeff, 12 days of insanity will culminate in one of the (hopefully) best memory days of your life.

I seemed to miss this too....Nice one Jeff!! Looks a bit familiar!! LOL!! Off to a great start!! As for the 1/350, there are some out there. HOLY MOLY! I would loose something that size easily! And here I thought my 1/144 pull chains were small! And nice work Jeff! Congrats on your Daughters wedding too. I know that set you back plenty in modeling dollars, huh! Jeff

Luckily, the stash fund has not been raided yet. It's basically non existent anyway so it doesn't get much notice.

Oh, this is going to be COOL. That flatbed looks excellent!
Side note - I'm at work, so I just typed "flatbread" instead of "flatbed". Getting hungry yet?

Looking great!!! Just in time you get to work on it before the big weekend. Sorry we could not meet... conference schedule was pretty tight with only couple of half days off. I am now in Massachusetts bound for Armorcon. I loved Maine so much that I want to return with my family one summer...
