Hi folks,

during Bricking Bavaria last weekend Goliath dropped backwards onto a window
ledge. It was a complete damage. A lot of the internal frame construction was
torn apart. I decided not to repair it. Today I disassembled what was left and
counted the parts. It were 2259. I hadn’t thought it would be so many.

So here is the last picture of Goliath:


A bit sad

On the plus side that is 2259 reasons to start the bigger, better Goliath Mk II ;)
Tim, that’s right. I’m not sure wether to build a Goliath MkII at the moment.
But I will build a new big Mecha. Could be I try my hand on a civil one. That
would be a real challenge.

   I hope you had fun at BB apart from that sad incident... it’s never nice when your models get broken.

BB was very good. I met Joe Meno and we had a nice talk. A lot of kind
people, fantastic organisation and delicious food! What more do you need?

The audience was quite different from TSL. People were more interested in the
models and building. Everything but “Harry” was shown without any barrier. So
even the kids had a good sight. Nearly nobody tried to touch the models,
nothing got lost.

Goliath has been around for more than one and a half years. I had already
thought of taking him down a few times. But I never have had the heart to do
it. So this accident was kind of helpful in that way.

Marco
