Pinewood Derby Update!

Well, my son's car is much better than we ever could have hoped! It still hasn't lost a race - first place every time down the track!

He flat-out won the Pack races two weeks ago. Today was the District race. His car took second overall! The district race keeps track of cumulative time, four trips down the track. He (and the rest of us) were ecstatic!

Something Different

No game posts lately... duh. Last weekend I was very tied up with other (non work) things and this week I've been working on Pinewood Derby cars in the evenings, not your usual wargames stuff. My 8-year old is in Cub Scouts and their Pack PWD is in a couple of weeks. My wife and I also have cars for the "Outlaw" Division so the kids won't all the fun for themselves.

 The Pink Cadillac, the Red Dragon and Super Duck!

My car - the Super Duck. The head is insulation foam. I hollowed it out a bit and filled it with BBs and glue to give it some good weight.

Cameron's car. The design was all him. It was a good bit of work with the bandsaw but we're both happy.

My bride's racer. I think she's going to have at least one Lego minifig along for the ride.

Zig and I are going to try to get in a StarDust Ground Gnomecon scenario playtest this Saturday. We haven't thrown dice in quite a while. I think the Robots will be making an appearance.
