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.
