I know exactly what you meen Andrez, I've just painted four and I'm not that happy with any of them. Still with a bit of tidying up here and there and a steady hand I'm still hopeful of an acceptable result.

If it's any consolation, mine's coming along brilliantly!

Good idea Andrez. I'll think on it!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 02-18-2018 14:45

You could always have them as crashed....hides a plethora of mistakes.

**Marechallannes** · 02-19-2018 08:41

Finished mine today.

Andrzej, I know how you feel. Unfotunately, masking bad details with branches and leaves doesn't help in air vehicles (I have some great botanic Pz.jagers, though

).

**Hogey62** · 02-21-2018 09:40

As Hotel Mars is fully booked during the period, is the Slavia Hotel a viable accomodation in the near neighborhood ?
Other suggestions welcome !
How is the parking situation in Prague / near the premises ?

What material should we bring for the missions / campaigns ?

Cheers,
Hogey

A short note, Thomas: try different hotel operators. I tried roomdi and they had rooms available, while booking showed "fully booked", which was not true.
In front of Mars Hotel there is a large parking area; Prague is a difficult place to park a car, however.
Czech colleagues will surely help you further.

Hi all,
does anybody know why Dan-Sam nor Kubajs are not around on this thread ? I asked them a question by PM but got no reply. On this thread I asked them to check their PM, again no reply ?
Makes one wonder ....

cheers,
Guus

**Пилот** · 02-21-2018 13:51

They decided to cancel Con... I knew it will happen

**Aardvark1430** · 02-21-2018 14:12

Ah Nemanja, i think your calender has the wrong date ... it's not April Fools Day yet

cheers,
Guus

**Marechallannes** · 02-22-2018 04:45

I think they‘ll have a Meeting 1st March.

**Пилот** · 02-23-2018 13:55

Guys, are we going to continue good tradition of Con Food Festival?

**Rebel** · 02-23-2018 15:28

I hope so as I already have planned for what I will bring. If not I will just have to scoff them all by myself.

**Nightbomber** · 02-24-2018 02:57

I am all for that! Must think what to bring this time to catch up with your declicious foods, chaps!

**Nightbomber** · 02-25-2018 04:15

The crisis is over. a total overpaint made the minis look far, far better!

Oh Yeah!

Ah, the classic English cuisine - pickled eggs!

...or whatever delicacies Marks and Sparks on Wenceslas Square can offer

**Aardvark1430** · 02-25-2018 07:12

I don't think Marks and Sparks is still there ...
cheers,
Guus

Have they been Brexited

**tikkifriend** · 02-25-2018 07:19

Don't suppose Les escargot would go down too well so it will have to be Andouille from Guemene

**Пилот** · 02-25-2018 10:21

We'll bring ajvar and sudžuk for sure, and we'll see what to bring with that.

**Guntruck** · 02-25-2018 10:27

The end of civilisation as we know it!

Actually, it is still showing on the M&S website, and besides there are a couple of other branches in the town.

**Aardvark1430** · 02-26-2018 03:53

Steve, you're right, it's still there, HURRAY !

cheers,
guus

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-26-2018 11:48

I hope so Guus I did my shopping there this morning, but not the Wenceslas Square branch .

Rob.

**Dan-Sam** · 03-01-2018 15:32

OK, we're back! Tomorrow I'll update the participant list and also begin with Campaign. We have pretty clear idea and we'll see who'll join this commemorative party

Stay tunned.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-02-2018 00:22

Eileen and I are unfortunately going to have to miss this year yet again owing to a family commitment which I fully expected to have been sorted out by now.
Sorry chaps.
Rob.

**tikkifriend** · 03-02-2018 00:26

Oh sorry to hear that Rob, was looking forward to watch your planes light up in combat

**Guntruck** · 03-02-2018 01:36

Bad luck Rob. We will drink on your behalf

Bitter, Sweet & Very British as usual, Paul!

Yes, very sorry to hear that, dear Rob. Life comes across to often these days.

**Dan-Sam** · 03-02-2018 02:22

OK, it is the time to explain what happend during last quarter of year.
There is a group of people who organize a big PragueCon 2018 convention for aprox. 70 000 visitors. They registered trademark for words "Prague"+"Con" used together last April and pushed us to discard our name because Google finds it on top positions. Their CEO was not open to discussion (and to be honest, me neither) and it looked that we should do what they want. Kubajs had a meeting with their lawyer yesterday and not it seems that they can not ask us about this because they must respect users of trademarked words who used them before their registration. The only sacrifice is my idea to slowly move the name from "Prague Summer Con" to "Prague Con" (because April date), but this is something that we can live with really easy

They are on the move now and we will see if they will offer us something interesting that could bring something positive into our event or if they will realize that we are 1000× smaller then their estimation and let us go. Anyway, please clap to Kubajs and his diplomatic skill

**Aardvark1430** · 03-03-2018 00:33

Thanks for the update Dan-Sam and well done Kubasj

Glad to hear the Con is definitely on, you guys had me worried a bit with this radio silence.
cheers,
Guus

**Пилот** · 03-03-2018 08:49
