Yep, that's me blowing my own horn...I had a banner day at Granitecon this past weekend! Pretty sure it's my best group of results from a show since I started doing shows five years ago.   I thought it was pretty awesome getting the eleven "regular" awards - then the other two came completely out of left field. The Kinal Award is given every year at Granitecon for "best small air force aircraft" (my JAS-39 Gripen) and the show theme award was for the 70th Anniversary of 1944 build (my LVT(A)-4). Pretty stoked all around!  |

Bill is right Dupes! They make awesome bases. If you want to save the plates, slice them off and stick em to the wall...LOL!! Knowing the size of these, they would fit your 1/72 stuff probably spot on!

I was thinking that if I won enough I would try to side an entire shed or something like that with them...this is an even better idea. Now what can I build with all of those plates... |
