Thank you all so much for the final comments and for pushing me to get 'er done and for following along on the insane journey.  This was wrapped up about 2 AM the night before the show.  Too tired hat night to posts and way too tired when I finally got home last night.

To keep it "official", here are the final photos of what was on the table.

To all the kudos above, Me too;  and good luck on snagging a trophy or two or..... 

Superbly done!

Marc,looking forward to seeing this gem in person this afternoon

Marc,good luck this weekend.I would love to see this in person. Post up all your trophies!!!!

John

very nice loved watching it come togeather

Wow. That is some awesome work and I can't blame you for not wanting to paint this. This is so cool.

Be safe , i want to see you at the Steel Cats build Marc  .

Outstanding.....I'm speechless

Hi, Marc, just stunning work there man, simply stunning, the first word that came to mind was faberge, so intricate.

Terry.

Marc-I hope you are taking a trailer to bring back all of the trophies....really, that is an outstanding build...the skill & quality of your build leaves me speechless.

Outstanding work.

Thanks Bill.  But you know how kids get on a long rides.  And when these kids gets loud and rambunctious, it's not just annoying... it's deadly.

Clay, that's made with wire and aluminum tubing I keep handy for just such an occasion.

DANG Marc what a build did that antenna and wire come in that kit or is that your own builds?? and that's the only way for the guns very nice.

Clay

Very cool Marc! Have fun at the show! Ma and the kids will keep you company on the drive I"m sure.

Clay, sorry for the late response but thanks.  Yes this set is pretty darn nice I have to say.  A few "Dragonesque" drawings but if you pay attention (oops) shouldn;t be too much of a problem.

Less than 24 hour sand there is a glimmer of hope of getting this done to the point if something is missing maybe it can be attributed to, "Oh that...it fell off in battle and haven't had time to bolt on a new one."

Here's what maybe the last update before the long drive up to CT.

Stowage strapped to the front fender and the anti-ditching roller (curious how that works) got new springs.

More stowage tied to racks for the back

Scratched the antenna mount

And last but not least... Ma and the kids.

GOOD LORD Marc man your really going all out. i've used lion mark up date sets and griffons but this is the TOP of the line when it comes to PE sets just BEAUTIFULL.

Clay

Thanks guys.  Wow Mike, you really nailed that description.  I would rather assembly a mile of indy links than play around with these little buggers.

Completion by the deadline has been put in to doubt.  I am likely going to lose a full day of bench time.  When ya only got 3 left taking out 33% hurts.

I apologize if I have missed this part... are you using CA or acrylic glue like Gator for those small pieces?   Hang in there you will be one real proud modeler at the end...

Phew .................i give up already ...............and i'm not even building this !
