Cannot believe I did it, lol

[Jon LeGrand]

Had a great time and my first Jerseyfest, I posted something on the forum over there, but wanted to show you guys a photo of the stuff I jammed into my mini van (much like playing Tetris) and got it back! The crazy part was I drove from New Jersey back to Omaha without stopping except for fluid exchanges and snacks and a couple quick catnaps! 24 hours on the road.
Anyway, the kaiju were abundant, I picked up 2 kong kits, a Resin chef Mothra, a Pao Angurus, and a new resin Rodan 56. I also traded a build up for a KOC GMK Godzilla 30 cm resin and I scored a Joe Laudati release the Kraken diorama kit! Amazing that I was able to get it all home. I met some friends and one gave me a sweet Baragon hat too! (He is my favorite)
Here is the photo, everything to the right of Robert's cool King G is mine!

I can't believe you did it either. I can't believe you even considered doing it! I am sure you inspired a few people with your display though.

I had some minor breakage affecting about 7 of them, one sculpt I did may be beyond repair. But I am glad if people enjoyed seeing them.

It was by far one of the coolest exhibits I have ever seen. It was an incredibly impressive display and thank you so much for bringing it.

Two very nice kits from the not so distant past.

Yeah! Tell, me, what is the best forum to post Kong kits at?

this was an awesome thing you did for our east coast brethren!

no matter how many times i see your kits whether pixxx or in person, i'm blown away as though it was the first time viewing...love your work and your passion for the hobby & kaiju, my brother!

[raydrz]

you can post them kongs here or in 'the garage'...either way is fine

Thanks John, I really appreciate that! Wish you could have been there too, but looks like Robert put your Varan in the exhibit so you were there in spirit!

Good to know! Looks like someone moved it to model museum or something..

It was the most impressive and largest display of kaiju I ever remember seeing in one place! Beautiful work all around! Jon, you should get an award just for the herculean effort of packing the stuff, making the drive, unload the stuff, pack it back up, make the long drive home and unpack it all again. All in the space of only several days!

haha, yeah I know! I was so wiped out when I arrived home, (I really should have stopped over for the night somewhere, but I just wanted to be home sooner. I pretty much was a lump for the next few days, and it was depressing finding damage on the kits as I unpacked, but now the "Godzilla Room" looks better than ever and I am back to making more stuff!:)

Did you clean things up while the kits were packed and out of the way?

Yes, I did! I dusted the shelves good and I also reorganized supplies and I ended up putting most of my WIP stiff in a bin in storage in the basement until I get to it.

I think the deal is that it's great that it survived the trip with no breakage!

Well, actually I had about 8 pieces break, but all but one can be repaired. I glued everything but I still need to putty and paint them, but my Rodan sculpture is broken beyond repair I think...

Awe.
Bummer.
