Got back in from the AMPS Nationals in Atlanta last night. I had the chance to spend a couple of hours in the show room, lots of nice work on display there. Took a bunch of photos (230) with the smartphone, they are available here in a zip file if you would like to peruse at your leisure. AMPS Photos Had a great time, met in person some people I'd 'known' online for a while, great conversations and experience in general. My only wish is that I could have made the Ft. Benning tour but that will have to remain unchecked on the Bucket List for now.  |

Glad you had great times. Same here... visiting Ft. Benning is on my list but should not be a problem since my deaf brother is moving to GA this summer. I'd love to look at the pictures but am afraid the link is dead. Assuming you had one too many beer?  |

Great set of pics there Bill!! Looks like it was a great show!! Did you hook up with Iain, Ken and Rick at the show? Thinking I need to start setting aside some funds for the next one!!!
Andy...the link is a .zip Let me know if you run into an issue. If Bill doesn't mind I could upload them to the PB and try and get them posted!

Great to see you had a great time Bill. I really wanted to go, but didn't have the extra funds.
I didn't have any problems downloading the pics. Thanks for sharing!

I did get a chance to meet all the AK guys as well as Ken Abrams and Scott Girvan. Wish I could've attended Rick's seminar as well but had to be content with watching them work on stuff at their tables in the vendor area instead. No problem with you uploading the photos to PB if you're so inclined T. At 230 photos, it was too much to post them here individually for obvious reasons. |

It worked... I missed Bill's comment about the zip file. LOL! Little sleep for last few days. Great pictures! I recognized several builds that were posted here earlier...

Hey Bill, glad to see you made the journey home safely. It was great talking to you at the show. Ditto Bob! Loved seeing your Stug and other pieces in the flesh. How'd you end up in the judging? |

I screwed up, Bill, and won a gold with the StuG. That moved me up to the Advanced category .... guess I can't sandbag anymore!  The other two took silvers, though strangely, the ST-1 outscored the Tiger(P). -------------------------------------------------------- Multicam, from what I've heard it's going to be April 3rd - 5th in Fredericksburg, Va. |

If it is in Fredericksburg, it'll be more centrally located on the east coast and should draw a pretty good crowd. I've already got it pencilled in on the calendar since it's only about a 4 hour hop for me. |
