This is only supprising because I don't consider Dave a Train Head, so for a
non-train head to win a train award is pretty darn good. Train Heads can be
fierce when it comes to detail which just shows how good Dave's Green line is.

Well if I knew he was bringing it to the fest and I were a betting man I would
have bet on this one. The AT-AT is increadible and one of the best LEGO MOC's
I have seen to date. I am sure competition was fierce here too but hey when
your good your good and when your Dave your Increadibly good.

Hey he is 2 for 2 now. I still can't believe neither Dave or Shaun's AT-ATs
fell during Mindfest.

Wait... Dave didn't win a Castle award... Man now I am disappointed.
Anyway we will have to see how my calander falls and what my Wife thinks about
going next year. I would like to go but when you have family etc. to consider
it can be tough if they arn't into LEGO... Yet... I am sure once I can
introduce Zack to LEGO I will be able to take the family down.

Ugh! Ummm... Ahhh... Geeesh... Anyway I am sure most of us that didn't go were
missed. Hey maybe someday we could charter a bus and go down as a group.
