Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!

Got two of the pieces so far from PCS who do PHENOMENAL WORK, and a nifty flush cut "Japanese saw" on the suggestion of Mike Reis!

Rick, you're coming to WF right? I should have a blimp form to "debut" for the show... I might have to sleep with it to keep people like you and George from plying it from my hands, heh. Of course, as you know, it's just the tip of the iceberg for building this sucker. I'll meet with the photoetch guy there, with any luck, too... and my lighting guy will be there!

Yeah. those Japanese saws are terrific. I have a couple, and I use them all the time.

This is an awesome project, Jason. It'll be great to see both you and the WIP blimp form at this year's `fest.

Hope "Muffin" can make it too.

Jason,

Out of this Frakkin' World! I am so down for a kit - my business needs the blimp to attract new customers (settlers) to our office (OffWorld).

Man, I love this.

Between your blimp and Randy's Spinner this is shaping up to be a good year for Blade Runner modelers.

Wouldn't miss it.

I tried to talk Kozicki into going, but having never experienced the goodness of the muffins he doesn't know what he's missing.
