Hrm, looks like I was wrong about the Duke parts.

Still curious where this torso and upper arms, and Snake-Bite's lower arms and legs are from.

I like how you modded the Para-Viper's rig. Can't help but wonder now, if the AVAC helmet is hollowed out, or an interchangeable head.

Two more guests.  Nice!  Are there any more guests to be announced?  Sienna Miller?

Great Newsletter as usual.  I loved the story about Japan and the bootlegs.  Great work on the guests, it should make it a great CON for sure.

After missing the last two months I'm just glad I could finally get back into the news letter. I had fun writting the bootleg story.

Heh. As the con is pretty much done "at cost" - we'd need a few THOUSAND more attendees to afford Sienna.

Woah, you got some cool guests and interviewees, guys!  Hope you had a great time in Japan!

One last thing: I don't mean to sound like a hater, but for the photos from page 13 one, please please please turn off the flash next time.  Light the area well, white balance the camera, put it on a tripod, and enable Macro mode (the one with the flower icon) if you're for close-up detail shots of small things.

I work with what I got. Besides, my wife took the pics for me this month. I had some other things going on at home at the time. We tried macro and no flash but it didn't work and I don't have a tripod for this wee camera.

Donations for new camera equipment can be sent to my paypal account: Morgardee.  :wink:

Don't worry about the equipment, Mors!  You can make it worth with a little bit of MacGuyvering.  Rest the camera on a pile of books or something and light the area with desk lamps, for example.

Best issue yet.
Canuckleheads was awesome. Subtle humour, well laid out. Liked the coffee cup and the ending.
While I'm not usually a fan of Evil Empire, I liked it this month, even if it was a variation on the old lawyer theme.
Good articles about Bootlegs and Japan. Liked the interview with the voice of Shipwreck. Was that a second option because he wasn't able to attend?

Neil Ross was invited; nice guy. But he had a prior commitment that weekend and would make more doing it then he would flying to Canada. ;-)

First chance I have had to read through the entire newsletter and I must say, this was a fantastic read.  I"m not just saying that because I wrote a small piece for it.  Seriously, the love of Joe is in full display in this issue.  Seeing stuff like this really gets me excited about the hobby.  Great job to everyone!

I'm thinking Snowbank has dark brown hair in this comic strip.  I'm about to paint my 25th custom's hair so I wanted to make sure...
