I ask because I just found out that I need to take an ethics exam for law school (don't laugh) on the 10th, so I need to find someone who can run my stall at the Vendor's Hall in Lancaster. Forward March Studios will be there, by hook or by crook, but it unfortunately I won't be able to be there in person.

I am sorry for you, Druid. Lancaster, PA. is the Lancaster he is talking about. It's the wargaming mecca for the USA. (But you already knew that, I am sure!) I was hoping to see some 2mm represented there. Just today, I was talking with John Zabawa (Gettysburg Miniature Soldiers in Gettysburg) and was showing him some of my 2mm Irregular figs. He had only heard about 2mm but had not seen any till today. I will mail him a few of the Irregular ACW I have here. Am currently waiting on a rather large order from Ian for 2mm SYW and SYW from Pendraken for some 10mm ones.
The HMGS cons can sure use some 2-10mm vendors. Since I have been back in the USA from Germany, I have only seen Old Glory with their 10mm offerings. really, not bad figs but just once, I saw some 3mm types from Odzal. So smaller scales are really under represented here. Interest is growing but without magazine support and even fewer online actively searching, they remain solely a "European" scale(s). Sure hope to see you there, Zack. WOuld be happy to help you convert a few of the masses at your booth (after my recon of the dealer's area). Heck, I'd even buy you a beer or coffee just to get to talk this stuff with you!

Good to hear it, Tom. Unfortunately, it looks like I can't be there personally. I thought I was going to be able to do it, but I just realized I have a big exam that day that I can't get out of. But, FMS will be there; I'm from that area, although I live in California now. I'll find someone to set up my stuff and run the stand, just to get the word out. But I won't be able to be there in person. Maybe for Cold War? I don't know. But that said, I am expecting the range to attract a lot of attention one way or the other. They're pretty impressive in person. I'll be mailing my entire Leipzig (or the Southern part at least) Back East to get set-up. That's the set-up you see in the banner at the top of these forums. It's pretty disappointing actually, because I was really looking forward to being there. I even have a long weekend; but there's no way I can get out of it. It's an ethics test I need to pass in order to take the Bar next summer. So, no way out of it.
Now that said, I'll be around here, available to discuss all the ins and outs of 3D printing with anyone who wants.
I'm also probably going to set-up a Skype or video-conference thing at my table on Friday, so I'll be available to take questions. It should be pretty interesting. I'm really leveraging technology across the board...

Good luck on your Ethics Exam. Sorry to miss you but will definately stop by the booth and grip and grin with whomever mans it for you. Will some of yjose buildings be on sale there? Am really liking them and could use a few more in that scale. As yoy probably know, Historican 2019 will be downtown Lancaster at the Convention Center. Not sure where Cold Wars will be held. I really like the Host...warts and all! My first encounter there was back in '92 with Stone Mountain Minis....when the Distlefink was the dealer's area.
Will sit back and watch for a while. Not yet taken the plunge into 3D printing. As a "metal man", it has great potential for prototyping then vulcanized molds for mass production. I have seen some really great things at Aberdeen Proving Ground involving new materials and rapid prototyping but remain a willing sideline participant. Hope to see you (via VTC/Skype) on Saturday, if you are on. "I" must work that Friday at APG.
Again, glad to see your devotion to having a badly needed presence there and hoping your Ethics Exam is easy for you. Thanks for the add!
v/r Tom
