That's a cool assortment of goodies right there.. I've been meaning to ask, are your helmets made out of the softer "rubber" like plastic, or that hard stuff like, say the same as the backpack is made out of?
The resin is a harder material, Joe. It doesn't have much, if any, flex to it at all. It can be reshaped if heated though.

I can't tell you guys how much I look forard to the end of this so we can see the dioramas,   I know I have been hard at work on mine for the last 4 days, I just hope I don't run out of time,

I really wish I had read this series much sooner, as I have a fantastic idea in mind that I'd love to take a crack at, but I do not have the time or materials necessary to get them done.  I may still do it in the future though...

Hit me up if you need a hand with items, I read all of these multiple times and am willing to brainstorm and send over any supplies you may need if I have some laying around.

I'd need 4 Republic Commandos right off the bat, and then have to troll for some model trees and grass, a sizeable rock, and a female I can use for parts...

We can chat after our meeting on the 15th,  I may have a few things,  Don't tell me what your making, just tell me if you need parts,  this is a no spoiler deal ;)

Will there be future contests? I love participating in stuff like this because I get to see everyone else's astonishing work, and I get to make something new to add to my collection. I haven't read those novels though, and don't really have the time since I'm back in school now and have to study for ACTs.

on the topic of future contests,

Yes,  between the site sponsored contests and member run contests, I would say it is safe to assume there will almost always be something underway

I guess, I'm about 50% finished.

Man, I can't wait to see these dios!  I still may make one in the future, but obviously not for this contest
