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!) :D
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.

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 :o

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.
