Sorry Everyone,
I've been a bit busy and haven't had a chance to download these and share. Enjoy.

IPMS Seattle's Spring show was great. I managed to win a few ribbons.
1st Place – Egyptian Camel Corps (Scout)
Honorable Mention – Der Werwolf Diorama

Here is the link to my photo bucket photos:

North Olympic Peninsula Modeling Society's contest. (A little smaller than usual, but it was
Fathers day weekend and there were a lot of graduations going on in the area). I almost
didn't get to go myself.

Again I did well.

1st Place – Whidbey Island Zombie Hunters
2nd Place – Death on the Eastern Front (collection)
2nd Place – French 75mm Gun (Atlantic Wall)
2nd Place – Chi-Ha Type 97 (Homeland Defense)
3rd Place – Egyptian Camel Corps (Supply Caravan)
3rd Place – Egyptian Camel Corps (Scout)
3rd Place – African Militia

Here is the link to my photos from that contest too:

But as always I did really well in the raffles at both contests. And as always I shared most
of my raffle winnings with fellow modelers.

Thanks for the congrats...
T Seattle show is really big and has lots of really great models.
The Port Townsend (NOPMS) show is a bit smaller and has that small town appeal. It was smaller
than usual this year, but there were some outstanding models there anyways.
Dicky, thanks for adding the bling. LOL
Bill, glad you like the photos...
As I said, I always do good at the Raffles, I won 15 at the Seattle show and 19 at the NOPMS show.
I guess I can't complain right? LOL Some of the winners from both contests are headed off to as
far away as Hawaii to a model buddy of mine over there. So life is good when you can help a fellow
model out (or at least I think so). I think I kept a total of 3 from Seattle and 3 from NOPMS.
But since I always spend $60.00 on raffle tickets and the 1st kit I usually win is a $60.00 kit,
I guess it's pretty good since the rest of the winners are free.
Just my way of thinking?
Again, thanks for the congrats.
Shawn
