I agree as well. Again, this is the problem you get when a couple
spaceheads run a display ;) It'd be nice to have some train models,
because the train layout is going to be right across the tent from us.

99% of the time. We're going to strongly prefer that an LDrawn model
has a physical representation - but there is one instance I'm making
an exception for - Tom McDonald's Hangar 33, with a special (funny)
scene we're arranging in it. The rest will have physical
representations as well as virtual models. We can show the design
process of each, and have also high quality printouts for display on
our display boards. Terry and I talked about that on the phone last
night, we're getting some 'art gallery' -ish display walls for the
area around our booth.

It would be nice, but it shouldn't be absolutely required for each.
It would be cool because then we could show people how the model was
actually put together in the software. Which models are you referring
to of yours? Your SW and cars one? We can feature that if you like -
do you have physical models of that (which won't be running on the
layout, or could be taken off temporarily??)

I'm going to Colorado early tomorrow morning, won't be back till
Friday evening. More to follow then, its looking good!
As far as the CD goes, we're going to TRY to get pressed copies by
then, but at the very least we'll have a master. If we don't/can't
have them there to sell, we can advertise a website from where they
can be bought. The master will be used on our demonstration
equipment, and if a few of you at the train club want copies, I'm sure
we can give ya an advance ;)
I'll be posting later this evening regarding CD funds and further
travel arrangements.
Gotta go to work now...
