I'll certainly be there Andy. Don't know yet if I'm going to enter anything or not.

I've marked this weekend as my personal deadline to deal with tax BS...but I dunno...maybe Indy isn't that far of a drive? I could use a kit or two  Anything to procrastinate  Hope it's a good show for you! Wish it was a little closer |

was a great show as usual. I spent too much money as usual, but left sorta happy. Ran out of cash way too soon, when I ran into the Pace spray booth special! Saw no Fujimi F14's, and that alone was disappointing (I want two more). I did see a fellow with a bunch of Formations armor for Shermans. I came home with one kit even though I wanted five of them! Kevin at Impact Decals had his sheets for eight bucks a piece, and I bought three of them. Even though I was running out of cash. He makes some of the very best Vietnam era Navy and Marine decals money can buy. They need an ATM machine at the show!

I took many pictures and posted on my Facebook. My photo bucket is almost full that I can not upload too many pictures. Maybe I need to clean it up and get rid of past shows folders.
You can hook up with me on Facebook... Andy Leffler of Carmel, Indiana if you want to see many pictures.

The show was great as usual! There was a total of 398 entrees which is slight lower than last year but it was still great for a local club show.  I was told there was more than 78 vendors! Unfortunately I didn't have much time shopping this time as the club kept me busy at the registration desk and judging. Maybe it was a good thing!
 It was great seeing many friends... Bruce, David, and John Hale as shown in the picture below taken after the show.  How did I do? I was pleased that I did well at the show.  I will post more pictures tomorrow. |

I didn't even see "Crazy Don" this year, unless he was at the both near the front door. Guy kinda looked like him, now that I think about it. You gotta start wearing dayglow orange. Sure would have loved to walked out with that spray booth! now I have to find an older Tamiya M4 Sherman kit to go with the Formations kit. I took it out of the bag awhile ago, and was I impressed! Not the exact kit I was after, but close. Plan on using Tasca suspension parts instead of the Formation parts. Will need some gun barrels and better tracks. Try to build it this winter if time allows. I did find the third and seemingly elusive M102 howitzer, so it's also time to start planning that build (three guns)as well. gary |

I had a good time, it was great to see Andy again! Also ran into orgejohn, it was great meeting you! I also saw vlpbruce’s katy, but didn’t know that was his. I didn’t spend too much time in the vending area but did manage to find a few things.
I took home two first place awards for two shermans. A first place for “The Duke” figure, and my King Tiger brought home a second. A friend of Andy’s and mine accused us of taking home all the awards.

Not surprising to see the hardware collection grown once more Andy! Good to see the Little Bird in particular take home a 1st. |

I'm going to try to get down to that one this year (about 100 miles south east of me). I'll bring "The Devine Ms G", That way she can pretty much buy out Jungle Jim's while she's there. gary |
