Ah the joys of modern flight . . .
Last month I was enticed to visit Eric and Sue in Illinois! What a great trip! They put me and my travel elves up big time and we spent some time training the Illinois Elves in the ways of Wings Production!
There were awaiting us a box of fresh Shapeways ready to process! A new bottle of Future Wax was produced and the fun began!
Sue found a perfect plastic cup and filled it with Future and the minis were given swimming lessons
A wax paper landing field was set out for them to dry on - later it was switched to foil : )
Sue touches up the drips . . .
Being highly skilled with chop sticks was a great help too!
Resting after the first dip! Two were done, three would be a bit better we discovered.
Now to the painting! Sue has the skills of a fine artist and jewelry maker!
Eric, not so much! But what he lacked in experience he made up for in enthusiasm!
Time for a bite!
Eric discovers he likes purple . . .
A lot he does!
Chicago beckons! Had to take a trip into the city, Eric is a great tour guide - if only the Italians could refrain from using their hands to talk while they are driving!
Book stores! Yeah! Found this series and bought all they had! Color plates and photos galore!
Also a good series I had not seen . .
Time for more food! A tasty Persian place . . . yum!
Saturday we were called to action at the LGS! It was going to be a Zeppelin Mission! What a coincidence!
More on the event in the AAR section - part of the crew, we had a great turnout with lots of new fliers. Eric brought plenty of planes and they needed them. I lost count as the 9th plane fell to the deadly Zeppelin!
Amazing wall paper in the restroom of the game store!
Lego frame on the mirror as well!
Alas the big jet called and I was once again soaring to Arizona, the 110 degree heat wave was hard to endure after the delightful cool and calm of Bloomington and the warm friendship of the troops. Next time I will come equipped with more time, more cash and a few Zeppelin upgrades . . .
Thanks to Eric & Sue and George & Colleen for a great visit! Now back to those pesky Zeppelins . . .
