Been gettn' ready for Rat Plastic Thrash 2007

[flounder]

Well Klowns,

7/28 is getting closer than you fingers to the dremmel blade cutin' on that 1/25 hood ornament in your hand!

I went through the junk to see what I can throw in the pot this year. Don't want to give up the info 'cause this styrene mosh pit is all about instant creativity sponsered by zap a gap.

But it is a pretty big box.

Per Skurvy's most excellent advice, I tried to get as many junk builds with paint and a healthy coat of shelf dust as possible. Still may need to use some rattle can weathering.

It's all about the petina, you Klowns.

Flounder.

A lot of new klowns around here now Flounder, why don't you show them a couple photos of last years one day wounders..?

hizoot ;D

[scurvy]

Speaking of last year's builds, I was thinking about throwing them back into the pile this year - whaddya think?

[flounder]

I know they ain't pretty, but at this point I say save them.

'Course.....If we need the parts, them maybe they can be fair game.

[scurvy]

Fine by me - I just wanted to give some other clowns a chance at my dinghy and Jeff's wing. I've got some partial kits and some built-ups to throw in... I may go buy a couple of inexpensive diecasts and strip their wheels for the parts stash. I think I'll be spending money at Low-Buck Lonnie's table at the Western Scale Classic on the 15th. He's always got cool started kits and built-ups for cheap.

[Brandon]

I'll bring another dingy...

[hizootdklown]

You guys can put my wingy on Brandon's dingy if you want..!

As for Lonnie, I seem to get more excuses out of him than deals these days.

Hold on to the oldies if you can, after all, where else can you get a Dave Marek original..?

Hizoot ;D

[flounder]

I thought about that too, Zoot. Save the Marek original. But then, we have the pics and I been thinking aoout that wild engine and kool rolling stock. I suspect the Brandon the Grail killer will be be eyeing those parts like michelangelo in a marble quarry.

I did throw Dave's aborted Wedgiebird project back into the box for this year's thrash. Lets see if anyone pick it up.

Maybe a wing and dingy is just what it needs.

Take it easy Bud.

ps . I reserved some building time this weekend. Wish me luck. I'll take pics.

[Tim Nolan]

YOU COULD NAME IT "ONE WINGY DINGY"..... ;D

I wish I could be there to hang with you guys!
Beer, tamales, and styrene......Could only be a great day. Have fun guys, and keep us posted!

I'd save those old builds. They're all pretty kool!
