Here’s a link to our Flickr album of photos from the ODO a couple of weeks ago. First model show we’ve been to since the Reagan administration. Photos are in no particular order, subject-wise. Just the order in which we walked around the show.
This is my haul:
The XB-70 is going to be pure torture.
I’ve been a few times but haven’t went the last few years.
Congrads on some nice finds there and I’ll look though your photos this weekend.
Thanks for linking them!!!

Good thing you didn’t come this year. Your archenemy Godzilla was there. He said to say, “Skreeeeeeeahhhhhrrrrrr!!!”
Godzilla is a pretty good guy when you get to know him. Just don’t bring up his deadbeat son though- he’s got a bit of a sore spot there.
A question for the ages: Is Godzilla actually a female who laid Baby Godzilla as an egg that was fertilized by some other (stupider) creature?
It’s hard to tell- Big G would go off on these crazy drinking sprees and wake up God knows where. Hard to tell who or what he may have fathered…
Those are some really nice photos… thanks for sharing them with us. So far I had to go through them twice and I think another time will be needed.
Glad you had a great time, nice haul too… the XB-70 looks real nice once built, but it will also take some putty or sprue goo. I ended up using a chiseled lead tip artist pencil to add the panel lines on mine. I also remember building the 917K. The tube chassis is really neat, but I had a fit issue between the body and engine cover. Other than that, it builds up very nice too.
That B52 / X-15 set looks super sweet.
Thanks once again…

Hi,P.G.
I like that you sent a pic. I must say the Atlantis kit and the Testor kit would be my faves.
