Yeah, made the reservations a week ago, thankfully at the same hotel the whole she-bang is in...then again, that could be a bad thing LOL?? This will be my first Wonderfest and we're all genuinely excited to go. Not sure if I'll take anything to enter though. I just don't think my stuff's at that level yet. Maybe someday...

My wife is actually excited to go, planning excursions onto some of the river boats and such and then see "The Time Machine" at the 'fest. Never hurts to have a very supportive spouse...

I'll be there with my son, for the third year in a row. Just made our room reservations. For those coming, consider coming a day early and attending Sci-Fi U.... More information available as we get closer to Wonderfest...

I have my reservations! Big Smile [:D]

Now I need to get focused and build some models.

I'll be there! reservations all booked & ready! Year #5 for me & I love going there! A true slice of heaven!

Hopefully I'll have my project finished. Don't really know what to call it, though. Kind of a "What if..." project- "What if Doc Brown didn't have enough money to buy the Delorian?" Confused [%-)]

If all goes well I'll be building one of my original TOS era Trek designs to take, the super tug/freighter, USS Kraken. I might be getting in over my head. I've yet to finish my USS Moscow, and I'll be starting my Avenger class from the Starfleet Museum soon. I'd like to take both of those as well.

It wasn't too bad. The weather was alright - I like it cold, so this was a very nice change from the usual extra hot places I deploy to. Locals that I talked to were great to deal with, tho we didn't get to go off-base. Wouldn't mind going back again sometime.

I'm still undecided. I don't want to commit to something, either, given how little actually FINISHING of models I seem to do.

Sweet! And glad too see you're back home again. My nephew has been informed he'll have at least 1 more tour overseas before he's done. So how was (deleted)?

Jeffery I just had a look through your site. Wow you have all kinds of projects! Looks like you are a fan of the "Starfleet Battles" game. I played SFB for many years and really love the ship designs from the game. You'll have to give me a heads up when you get those Gorn cruisers done.

D'Oh! Somehow, I missed this posting. Sorry, Woody!

I'm not as big an SFB fan as I am FASA. However, I love the Gorn ship designs for SFB, as well as several of those for the Romulans. I've now completed three Gorn DD's (well, one has the "wings" from a Light Cruiser (CL), so I guess that sorta makes it a DH?), one CL and one CH. Rob "Robburrito" Butler, the guy who makes those Gorn ships, also makes an awesome Chandley from the FASA game, as well as just recently finished molding a new Klingon that looks a LOT like it would be from SFB.

I might. I've got several on the backburner that are nearly read, just needing some paint and/or decals. Got a whole lot that are in need of a base coat, but otherwise completed. LOTS of possibilities that I could take.

'Course, I've been saying that I'd finish a model for a couple years now. Still ain't happened.... Confused [%-)]

Wonderfest is a true Mecca for modelers. I can't imagine a year going by without my having been there for the weekend. Ugly shirt Friday? Oh, I think I can dress for that!

Don't forget - Friday afternoon starting at about 3:30pm 'til whenever the Lizard Lounge event starts Friday evening (7pm?) is Ugly Shirt Friday in the hotel lounge (right next to the Lizard Lounge). Look for the folks wearing Hawaiian print shirts to get an early start on the festivities. We might even buy you a drink.... Wink [;)]

Oh, yep, I'm going! Been to four WFs since I first found out about it in '00, with the exception of this year (bad timing). WF '05 falls on the holiday weekend & I can definantly be there, as I also use that time to visit family in nearby Indiana.

It's a killer time if you havn't been there! You practically O.D. on all the resin!

I'm planning on it. It's a five hour drive for me, but I can think on no better way to spend a morning. The day off, money in my pocket, Bob and Tom on the radio...going to Wonderfest: priceless. This btw will be my 11th in a row.
