Oh, heavens, no!

They're mostly HO scale model RR figures with added fairy wings.

Congrats on having 7 done Trevor!
I am starting to feel the time pressure.
I have 8 ready (I did have 9 “completed”, but decided to rework one of them)
I have 4 more that I really want to finish for the contest.
2 “just” need to be painted (which I always struggle with)
2 need some significant modifications and then painted as well.

It's just a pleasant "cruise ship" for fairies.

That's wonderful Rocketeer! I have two of my three entries done. I may try to scrounge up a few more entries if I have time between auto repairs.

Well, feeling pretty good at this point. (fingers crossed!)

Seven done and ready for packing, (four for main contest, three for NRA).
And I've got six more in the works that are 80% done or better.
Since I'm taking most of next week off for vacation, things still look pretty promising for a full vehicle load-out for the 2hr drive to Louisville.

Fingers crossed you get them all finished.
Although it's only 2hrs - safe trip dude (for you AND the builds!)

Good luck with finishing more of your kits, and in the contest.

Congrats Trevor and Spark for completing so many kits!
I look forward to seeing all of them.
Good luck to you Spark on finishing even more .
My status:
10 completed (6 of those are packed and ready to travel the 9 hour drive- ugh).
1 painting in progress , that I hopefully can complete.
1 kitbash in progress, but it has 2 large creatures, that I would love to complete, but very doubtful.

10 or 11 finished out of 12 intended is pretty darned impressive!

Thanks Ian!
Yeah, bit of a long ride from VA, so we take 2 days to get there and 2 days to travel back.
Thanks , but I am disappointed that my Minotaur bash will most likely not get finished in time.

9 hr
My drive ranges from 6.5-8 depending on road construction and such.
Luckily I have the timing down now to miss most of the rush hour traffic in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati.
[fingers crossed]
And without the stop at my daughter's now it leans more toward 6.5 hours.
