Kits for the show

[TAY666]

Ok. Less than 3 months until the show.
Time to start firming up the list of who can bring what kits to see what we can do. And what we need to track down to do what we hope to.
I checked, I don't have any original kits that aren't in some stage of building / painting. So I can't help out with an unpainted layout.
I have several kits that I know I am bringing, and a couple I could bring if I need too, but would prefer to use someone elses.

So, if you know for sure you are going to the show.
And are willing to bring a kit to display. Time to start speaking up.

Anyone else want to step up and commit to bringing kits for the display?

[TAY666]

We're getting closer.
Need

and hopefully someone else to step up for the Giant Bird and Cave.

I have a Tar Pit and a Giant Bird I could bring - I would have to finish them up though, They are both at about the 25% done stage.
Steve Cooke

[TAY666]

Well, keep us posted.
If you get them done, I'd love to put them on the table.

I'm trying to get as much participation from as many people as possible.
That way, it is more of a group project, and a chance to show off different styles and approaches to these kits.

[scooke123]

Looks like I will have the Giant Bird ready to go- should finish up the paintwork by this weekend. After getting kit out it was missing 1 egg, the chick, the leaves (#23) and the nameplate. Is it still ok to bring or do you need it 100% complete?
Unfortunately I couldnt find a wing and the meat hunk for the Vulture in the Tar Pit so that will be a no- show.
Steve

[TAY666]

That will be fine.
100% is the best. But most of the kit is better than no kit.
Since I won't have to drag that one out (mine is a built-up I bought on ebay a long time ago. It isn't bad, but the bird has been disassembled and would need put back together)
I think I will go ahead and bring part of the swamp.
I can't see any easy way to display the whole thing anyway without something to mount the trees and other stuff to, so it won't fall over.

Will update the maps and tables this weekend.

[scooke123]

I got the Giant Bird all done, found other egg and made the leaves. Hopefully I can locate someone who has the babt chick and a nameplate before the show. When I get some time I will take a few photos of it and post them.
Steve

[TAY666]

Cool.
Can't wait to see it.

[scooke123]

I have 1 picture in the Memgers collection section under Steve's Giant Bird- could only get the 1 to load. Can you only do 1 picture per post? I will try to get the other pictures on tomorrow. Hopefully you can see what it looks like with the 1 so far and if you think its good enough to put on the table.
Thanks, Steve

[TAY666]

Actually, if you want. Email them to me, and I can throw a page together for you.
Tomorrow night is kind of open for me, and I plan on working on the gallery anyway. (got some other pages I'm really behind on making)

[TAY666]

Ok. Finally updated the picture and the table.

Still looking for someone to bring
Cave
Sailback
Swamp
Tar Pit

I can bring the swamp and cave, and if I can't find any takers, I'm going to slap together a sailback and tar pit before the show.

[TAY666]

Ok, I started building and painting my sailback for the show.
Dug out my Tar Pit, with was a build-up I got off ebay years ago. Looks presentable enough. I washed it off and the paint look ok. I need to touch up a couple chips and glue some parts back on, but it looks good to go.
Got the Swamp covered as well.

Will update the map pic eventually.

Anyone out there want to volunteer to bring a Cave or Flying reptile?

[desslock]

did you ultimately decide to just go with a set of the build-up kits, or are you also doing an unbuilt set (and if so, just originals, or also re-releases)? Take lots of pics, very curious!

[TAY666]

Just bui;d-ups. Couldn't get anyone to bring unpainted ones.
Maybe next year we can do both. Would be interesting to see the contrast.

[scooke123]

I may be able to bring the Cave - I'll pull mine out tonite and see what condition its in, if not too bad I might be able to get it displayable in time for the show. I will let you know tomorrow.
Steve

[TAY666]

Cool.
thanks.

[scooke123]

Got the Cave out - mostly all there, missing a couple spears and the rock table. Will need to fix the paintjob on it but I will have it ready and will bring it to the show along with the Giant Bird.
