Anybody else planning to go? Yo, Joe Simon! Are you coming, and what are you bringing? Hope to see you there.
As for myself, I'm currently at work on a collection of six 1/700 scale US Navy ships to be in a display.
USS Freedom LCS
USS Independence LCS
USS Zumwalt DDG-1000
USS Arleigh Burke
USS San Antonio LPD
USS Seawolf SSN-21

The first three are done except for decals which still need to be added. The Burke is 98% done. Next will be the San Antonio, then the Seawolf.

I am going and plan to bring my daughter's build and a submarine. There is also a prior gold winners category so I may bring some items for that. Looking forward to seeing you!
