Awful news for our American friends, BBC news is reporting the bad weather this morning. I hope those who do make the journey, do so safely. If the UK got hit like you guys it would take an age to recover. Let's hope the snow ploughs can get the roads open on Thursday onwards. |

The Storm has taken a wider track than expected resulting in much smaller accumulations than originally expected. "Snowmageddon" never materialized… once the roads are cleared by the end of today it will be time to get ready to load up and head to Lancaster. I'm looking forward to trying out one of the newly renovated rooms at the Host… provided the hotel doesn't slide off its faulty foundation and disappear into a massive sinkhole…😏 See you there! TRU |

Snow day from work. Preparation is now an absolute breeze. |

Holien, we Colonials have gotten used to the brutal environment here, having been cast out of thar Garden of Eden knowne as Olde Englande (tm, pst. pending). Afew feet of snow, howling winds, wild beasts devouring our women and children, it's all part of living in this land of freedom. |

Here's what I've been working on. All was going well until I poured the resin. It's not curing the way it should. Looks great but still tacky. Ugh!

The French will have to wait just a bit longer to introduce themselves to the Viet Minh. ; ) |

Don, This looks really great! Bummer about the resin not curing. Not familiar with any tricks to overcome the tacky resin. I might try a new fresh batch of resin on top in attempt to seal it? Just spitballing… maybe someone else has a tip or two… TRU |
Cardinal Ximenez | 15 Mar 2017 10:25 a.m. PST |
I'll let it sit for a few days so it won't make it to CW. It's a bummer. |

I wouldn't recommend Quick Water from Michaels. First time I've used it and it's the first time I've had any problems. |

Don Manser. Great looking board. Hope to see it live at some point. Can I ask what you use for the foliage? Thanks, George |

Don, Your Vietnam terrain looks better than the nine inches of snow in my driveway and front yard. Nice work. Remember those "Move Historicon Now" buttons? Don't be surprised if some people show up with "Move Cold Wars to April--Now!" signs at the Membership meeting Friday night. We'll see. |

Not tacky at all,Don. Here's tacky:
Look for me in this Saturday. |

Don, Try setting up a Hair Dryer, or small desk top Room Heater to blow warm air across the surface of the resin areas! Again, set it up so the air blows across the surface, and not directly upon the resin surfaces! It should dry it out in a couple of hours or so tops!! |

We got the truck loaded up and full of minis and other great stuff tonight. Covert Intervention Games launches our journey first thing in the morning to get there. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Stop by and say hello to Reid and Rachel. :) |

GW, It's a 10" x 10" square from Michaels cut down into strips. The tag says Floral Accents Greenhouse Market. The tag name is Moss Mat and it's plastic. The coloration is as you see it on the board. |
