They posted over the weekend that their room block was sold out.
They were gonna try and get some more rooms, but don't know how successful that will be.

NGL I am very tempted by the oil painting class.
But I really want a lazy Friday.

Liquitex paint has a product called gel retardation ..
It's basically the simple as using oils..
I can get same effect .. without the smell or wait time.
I often wonder over time if oil paint would attack making it sticky..
Googled various articles on oil over acrylic it basically says not good idea.
Can peel rendering acrylics unstable.

More classes need to taught about hand brushing acrylics
Nostalgia can be a bad thing, especially when you are led by it.
L.K . Marks 07.

My Kung Fu is the best..

Blind ignorance can not be solved or stopped for the problem at hand.

That is what the other AFM class is. Hand brushing acrylics.

As to the use of oils. Modelers have been doing it for decades. I am sure if it were a problem there would be tons of horror stories about it.

had any problems.

Glad to see MMR back, as well as Monarch models.
I see Model Club TV has moved over a row as well. They are going to be by the Suite Life guys.

You gotta be #$#$#$# kidding me

Clearly they don't want me and Andreas at the show; stuffing me back down in the alley of the lost again, where noone even knows we are at the show. I guess they don't appreciate someone that has been going as a vendor for at least half the life of their show. Reinforcing what Drew told me during a candid discussion about the future of Wonderfest.

Last year I had the pleasure of being next to Jeff and the Suite Life guys and it was an enjoyable experience with plenty of traffic coming by the table.

Andreas and I are going to need to have a serious discussion about continuing to support them. I really have to learn to take the hint...

I am hoping the Land of the Lost set-up will draw more people back there for you Shane. I think it is going to be a good draw. Lots of people I have talked to are excited to check it out.

We paid for and locked in table 31 in 2019 and have never gotten to set up there. Last year Andreas had to pay for a table and couldn't come. They put me next to Jeff and the crew and it was great.
