Almost there...

Remember how I said I wanted to finish my model my Friday? Well, that didn't exactly happen. I was working Thursday morning (fantastic weather that day), and at around noon, just as I was about to begin to paint the roofs of the last sixty or so buildings, I received a phone call. "Be ready in ten minutes, cousins from Chicago are here." At first, I was angry because I knew that it would delay my progress, but there is nothing more important than spending time with family, even if they are second cousins once removed.

Even with this enjoyable set back, the model will be done this weekend. As of Friday, just Chase Field needs to to be built, there are just a few sections of the board that need to be painted in, about thirty more roofs to paint, seven complicated buildings that need to be glued together and painted, and then just gluing the buildings to the board and doing some minor touch ups.

From there it should be smooth sailing. Compile some of the research, gather my photos, and make a power point. For any of you who wish to see my model and hear my presentation, you are invited to the Scottsdale Civic Center Public Library Auditorium on Monday, May 21st from 5:15 to 8:45. I will only be presenting for twenty minutes and taking questions for ten, but I highly recommend you stay to see what my fellow classmates have done over their third trimesters.
