I just wanted to thank Brad and Shelly for being wonderful hosts. This was my first LUG meeting ever, and it was a fantastic experience. It makes such a difference to see models in person. I'm a big mecha fan, but I was VERY impressed with the detail and creativity expressed in Brad's city. One could spend hours admiring all that was going on. And Dan's carrier was awesome! I just couldn't get over the detail and care with which his spacecraft were built. He put a lot of thought into how spacecraft might appear given their methods of propulsion, whether or not they were atmospheric re-entry vehicles or not, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if sci-fi movie makers asked him to do some consulting after seeing his models... As for the mecha, well I was in awe of being confronted by these models who's pictures I had gawked over for years. It really makes a difference in seeing them in person and feeling how they work. There was detail in Mark's mecha that I never noticed in photographs; his engines for his Helldog II were unbelievable! As for Bryce, if you haven't seen his mecha in person, then you really haven't seen them. If you're a mecha fan, and your ever in California, you've got to these things! One thing about his mecha that you'll never get out of the pictures - they take a pounding! I could pick up and handle Big Blue without fear. There was way too much going on for me to describe, or even process. I was EXTREMELY honored to be in the presence of such talented builders from all over the country. It will take me weeks to digest everything that I saw... Thanks again to Brad and Shelly for hosting such a wonderful event. I would also like to thank Bryce and Dan for their hospitality. I don't think I would have made it down without Bryce's encouragement. Christopher
