Pirates WILL be present-

2 examples of a 75mm kit depicting a 1650's Buccaneer. Same kit tweeked by different talented artists. HA correct? No clue. Edit: My mistake, it's a 54mm kit from Andreas. @ 2" tall.

Wondering how much it would cost to have the inside and rim of a pewter mug Cerakoted in a pewter color? Durability?

I plays a 3/4 12 string guitar and a tiny 6 string gitalele. Prefer old shanties and ballads with simple chords. The fingers ain't never gonna do any super shredder stuff.

Runned across another european company makin' instrument kits. They's more of luthiers kits, still laser cut. In the $350-$400 range depending on the exchange rate. The gurdy looks nice, I could see playin' it without much blowback from the purists. The Nykleharpa seems ok to me untrained eye but CRIKEY its got a lot of finger pedals to fidget with. https://www.nerdygurdy.nl/

A question of technique instead of instrument- Tis possible to play a violin in the manner of the pic? (limited wrist mobility)

Originally built around '09 ish, might be a pic or two somewhere in the Pub archives. Conversion was last September just before the Tucson comic con circus, couldn't have flame and didn't want glass near so many people. Conversion was really easy, bust off the decorative plastic shell, remove the white diffuser tube and drop the whole mess into the hole in the top of the lantern. Az sunlight eats up the little solar panel so a newer unit will last a few hours longer. Brightness is still about 1 candle power. The glazing plastic is 2' x4' sheets for fluorescent shop lighting. Have to experiment with a scrap to see how it looks after sanding and/or a spritz of some narsty solvent.

I like Stynky's etched glass idea, looks better than pebbled plastic. Here be an over the hill lantern converted to solar flickering LED. Lasts about 4-5 hours after a full days sun. Not enough light to read by though.

Perhaps we should be askin' wot sort of modern instruments would be acceptable, or could be retrograded to a reasonable degree.

It's a generic comic con type event. Geeks of all sort will be present.

Megamania, the shortest Con in the southwest happens July 15th at Pima college's downtown campus, Tucson Az (Speedway/Oracle). The Crewe will be aground here from 1-5pm.

Here be the missing link- www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQGgFKdjV_U&t=18s Theres a ton of videos on youtube of it being assembled and or played and upgraded. Wi' a dash of the paint t'would be at home in a steampunk environment or hangin' off the side of an 1800's gypsy vardo. Truth be knowne, if I didn't have so many irons in the fire I'd probably buy one.

I think they advertised parkin on the QM side with a ferry service to the Aquarium side. Not really familiar wi the area as it was all underwater when I was a'growin up there.
