Hi guys- sorry I've been scarce around here. I did go to Armorcon (the old AMPS East) over the weekend in Danbury, CT, and brought along a trusty build- actually at the encouragement of my awesome and supportive wife (yes, I got one of the really good ones!)- Dragon's 1/35 M2 halftrack. Never competed at AMPS before, so I entered in the intermediate class. Brought home gold.

Nice job, Dave! Danbury...is a pretty nasty hike from up here. I heard the show didn't get out until 6ish, which puts me back at my house at around 2:30 in the morning (assuming I can find coffee at that time of day to get me all the way through). Ouch. That being said, I WILL be at Nationals!  |

Hey Marc- thanks! Yeah I can see where it'd be some serious drive time for you. It's a little ways for us too, and the Mass Pike just ain't friendly westbound in the afternoon. I'm seriously looking at attending the Nats myself |

Good work with the prize! How many models will you enter next year? Only 12 months to go.

Thanks very much for the kind words guys!
John- not sure, I'm a notoriously slow builder....but you never know!
Brian- thanks for the 9.5! No, actually I didn't drill out the .30 cal barrels- that was kit engineering. In my opinion this is one very well engineered and detailed kit. Dragon instructions too, unfortunately, but only a minor goof in one or two spots.
