Rapid inflation has been a problem in the United States for more than two years, but the tide appears to be turning. Annual inflation is now less than half of what it was last summer.

A 5-Foot Star Wars Rebel Blockade Runner Model:
.
We just got back from WonderFest, an annual scale modeling convention, where we met John Sabean and his five-foot long Rebel Blockade Runner model! This build, which took the better part of a decade to complete, recreates the massive studio scale model that ILM built for the opening sequence of Star Wars. John and his collaborators meticulously recreated the miniature using as many original kitbashed parts as possible, and updating it to take advantage of modern electronics and 3D printing.
