We have one more full day then 2 more nights until Phoenix Festival... Stay Tuned!
 
Hi Gang,

I'd to take the opportunity to thank the men and women of our armed forces. You have my utmost respect. You all have given so much to protect this country. Your courage, bravery and sacrifice will never go unnoticed. And to all those who have paid the ultimate price of our freedoms I will stand in silence for you and your families.

Thank you.
 
This is freakin' insane!! :thumbsup LOVE IT! Disney should hire you and this Falcon for Episode VII! They won't do a better job on this.
 
Thanks so much for the kind words, gang! I hope most you all enjoyed the weekend! Sorry there are no updates this morning. Mind Gear is holding summer classes so I wasn't able to get to anything during the day. By the time the late afternoon rolled around, my tank was running low and I decided to take the night off. But not to worry... I'm headed back this evening. Still lots to do and you know me... ;)
 
Hi Gang,

Some late night updates! Enjoy!

The platform arrived but we're still for those stupid chair plates... we're running out of time!

And then this detail - we sandwiched several layers together

Hi C,

Thanks so much! This was my favorite batch of greeblies so far! I've been dreading how to tackle the radar scope and even though it's temporary, I'm really happy with it. Scott and Jessie were a HUGE help last night!

Even better, I'm looking forward to seeing your MF inspired bed! That will be awesome! :)
