Another great show! Andy, Nate, Clint, Bruce and I had a great time. Nate has the mug shots of the bunch. I saw the elusive DUKW!  Perhaps it was being chased by this giant fish  I bought few things  Won some swag at the raffle   Most of all I enjoyed this!  Andy took home so much gongage that he had a hard time getting it all paced away! I'll let him post up all his winnings and swag from the raffle. All in all another great show with good friends! |

Congrats John. I have to say it… I told you! haha. Great job. Hey guys. I too had a great time in Indy yesterday. It was great to see these guys again….  Left to Right: Nate (Multicam), Ethan (my son), John (ogre john), Andy (Deafpanzer), Clint (Ironhand6), and Bruce (vipbruce) It was my son's first modeling show and he had a ball. He had the chance to go with mom and do other stuff, but he chose to stay at the show all day with me. He picked up a couple of kits and was so inspired, when we got home, he built one:). I did well in the comp too. I entered my t34/76 in a tough field and didn't place. But I did come home with two gongs for the shelf:) I got first place for my rusty Cat D8H in the commercial and emergency vehicle category.  and I got third in the auto diorama category with my "A German in Paris" Porsche 356B and Paris street scene.  model in foreground and my son enjoying himself in the background:) All in all a good day out! |

My haul from the show... surprised I didn't buy a kit this time. I was more picky since I have too many in my stash. Only wanted one or two kits but they were not at the show...  I was thrilled to find those DAK figures from Alpine & Tank as it has been hard getting them lately. NAM figure sets will be for my "future" Huey and Pibber patrol boat builds... But yet I managed to bring home lots of kits... thanks to raffle I bought $20 worth of tickets. LOL I will only keep the Ti-67 if its any good and maybe the Hellcat too. Of course that Star Trek kit will be given to our very sci-fi geek friend here at MSC. Others will be donated to the deaf school as I was asked few days ago before the show if I can teach boys who stays at the dorm after school. I think it was fate or karma waiting to happen because I told them I'd be more than happy to teach deaf boys about modeling.  It was a great day! More pictures to come... |

Here's my haul from the show but nothing beats seeing buddies and being asked to help with the judging at the show. It was a great experience and I hope to do it again. It has made me more determined to be more involved at the local club more than ever...  |

I got there in the early afternoon (almost forgot about, and got tanked the night before anyway). Was mostly looking for 1/72 Fujimi jets, and saw nothing. I did pick up a Tasca Firefly ($47), the rest of the parts for the small turret Panther build ($15), and a 7/2 PAK 43 ($30). All kits were new in the box except for the Pz.Kw. IV H. It lacks instructions. I did get to test drive the Grex Airbrushes! Got good coaching from Crazy Don. Now I just got to have one!! In 90 seconds I was painting little lines about .06" wide just as pretty as it got.

Gary! Where were you?!?!? Was hoping we'd get to meet finally. I really liked those ABs from Grex too... I was literally just in there and outta there. Been sick for about six weeks now (you'd never know it if you saw me), but walking around there with a jacket on was about to kill me. Something happened last night, and got up this morning feeling 50% better! (must have been the beer last night) I think that other than Crazy Don and the air brush salesman, I didn't talk to anybody other than vendors collecting money from me. I do think I'm getting better, so the alcohol must be winning! gary |

Gary- Glad you are starting to feel better... please do not hesitate to look for us next year. OK?
Pete- Hell yeah! if you ever do, please let me know so I can make an effort to meet you there. Maybe at one of national shows or biggest one in New England area. Easy! Make it a fishing trip in USA!

I know when I left it was colder than my ex wife's breath in court! gary |

Bruce, I am glad you posted those pictures because I didn't take pic of that bust that won 1st place gong in Busts category. I thought it was a great piece work especially that its base was made of castle.

I could never be a judge at one of these. Too many emotions on what I like, what looks great that I could never be fair. So many fantastic looking armor pieces and of course, there's a DUCK in there too! Jeff |

I was very disappointed they didn't have animal category!!! Should I contact PETA about this? LOL Thanks for looking. Like I said the show was great despite fewer model entrees this year.
