Thanks!
About 4 of us from over at the U of A (Arkansas) built it up in a weekend. Our next step is to Put small soft LED in the frame to give a little bit of flash.
Washington County, Arkansas? Have our groups crossed paths before?

Well done on putting something that looks so good together so quickly!

I think we probably both know Grady?

To date, my "group" consists of myself and one other guy. :) We get together roughly once a month to play at Gamer Utopia in Rogers. All historical stuff, so far, though I've done a bit of 15mm sci-fi and 28mm fantasy on my own.

I've got a blog if you want to check out what we've been up to. arkiegamer.wordpress.com

Grady is kind of a landmark in this area. Our group has strong ties to his group. I have traveled to conventions with both he and his son Shelby. We're the side faction that is less historical more Sci-Fi/Pirate/Wild West. You can reach me through his (grady's) mailing list or one of the following blogs:
Beaverlick.blogspot.com (The West Gone Wild)
Fistfullofseamen.blogspot.com (Pirates)
Wingnutscockpit.blogspot.com (Sci-Fi)

Stay in touch, there about 30 of us between Springdale and Fayetteville that meet in and around the U of A.
