Too busy building to write about it.  Early parts of the build are quick, but the later details slow down the apparent progress. Mike Mangus and I are in a race to get the next designation number.  I had a month head start, but Mike works on his tank until 1AM.   If he wants it that bad,

I decided I was spending to much time with WOT and unloaded from my PC. Started fleshing out a design for a T-70 light in my head and on the computer. Trying to think of a way to do a TTS kit in laser-cut ply. Starting to work on my Mogador warship again. Looking for a decent house to buy

 That show and tell is for the upcoming October boat battle in Statesboro.  :)    What I am thinking is a tank battle scheduled for 2012 late spring or early summer before the summer heat gets going, or sometime in the fall (September'ish?) after the heat breaks.  A few of us down here are

Always comes down to where, when and how many locals will show up. If only 1 or 2 locals battle, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have the majority of people traveling in that direction. For maximum attendance I'll throw out the suggestion of meeting half-way, somewhere near the Virginia/NC

   Good policy.  :)    Got to admit, if I had known about that I would have commited to the October battle sooner.  When the battle was annouced, I didn't even consider driving 11+ hours one-way for a single day battle.  But then Bill said he was going and I could hardly complain about a 11+

Well, I have to say that this is probably the most productive discussion in months. And it all started from just a simple statement. For myself, a southern battle would be fine, but would need advanced notice of a few moths to arrange time off . Look forward to meeting you both later this month.
