Hey guys,

Yesterday my son Christian and I were at Epcot Disney (Florida) and in the Canada section of the park they've got that 360 degree movie theater.   Any of you guys seen this?  The movie's name was "O Canada" I think, pretty cool with the movie screens all the way around the room.  It was hosted/narrated by Martin Short who apparently was born in Hamilton (reminded me of you guys).  It showed some other actors from Canada like Michael J Fox and William Shatner (didn't know that). 

Any of you guys seen this?

Speaking of my son, you guys may remember he was the one conked out asleep on the floor at the 2010 con while I was digging in Nova's accessory bins!  Mike took a picture and included it in the newsletter.  He has been recently diagnosed with a life threatening heart condition, we are praying for a miracle and asking God to lead us in making the right decisions.  The doctors are wanting to put in a difibulator.  I read that there was a new procedure done in Canada that seemed better (less invasive).  Anybody know anything about this?

Well, it's not a chrome SNAKE or MMS, but here's a little project I liked.  Dive team from the cartoon, Duke, Scarlett, bearded guy (there were actually two in the episode with the tube worms), and regular joe.  Oh yeah, and Shipwreck, remember that one in the closing credits?

I had these guys on my work table when the announcement came that they were going to be the con exclusives, so I decided to finish them up and post them.

Here they are!

Anybody reading the Hama continuation of the Marvel run?  I just read number 161 today and there were a number of interesting things in this one.  

*SPOILER ALERT*

For one, this issue is jam packed with characters and vehicles from the 80's in their classic looks.  With some notable and interesting exceptions, one of which was the new POC hisstank!  It wasn't just drawn in, it was mentioned in the dialogue as the "new hisstank."  Also, the careful look can spot the ROC Rhino (beside what I think is ironically the Mauler).  The 25th got some nods as well, the classic vamp is shown with the cables on the gun that were added for the 25th version, and Mainframe has the 25th style upper thigh with the knife sheath.  The cartoon got some play time also, which really surprised me.  Doc's reflective mirrors are shown in the pitt and Lady Jaye has the cartoon style (and 25th style) javelin backpack.  In a departure from all things previous, she fires the javelin like a missile launcher.  You can surely tell the artist knows joe, from POC to 25th and classic looks to the cartoon.  Toxo viper version 1 even makes and appearance!

Shimik and those other guys need some competition!

Hey guys, it's late and time for me to hit the sack, but I wanted to share a little of a project I've been working on.  Stargate SG-1 customs using joe parts.
