I did manage to take a few pics of some of the models on the Saturday morning, most were still being registered or judged so this is just a few of the 200+ models entered.
Shots of the display and vendor rooms.
Talking plastic ??
Just some of the awesome models entered in the show.
Like I said this is just some of the models at the show, wish I had the time to take a pic of every model there.
Congrats once again to the FSM crew for their well deserved wins.
Cheers
Rob
Wow great models, they look like gold winners. And is that the vendor! How many!? And for how much!? Aww i should’ve been there![bgr]
Looks like you had a great time scratchmod!H]
Especially love the Vietnam gun truck, neat since I have pics of an exact replica of another one, “Wild Thing.”
Thanks for the pics Rob. There were a LOT of great models there, weren’t they? And congratulations to you…you deserved the multiple awards that you are too modest to show in this post.
Yep…there were alot…over 200 total entries…thats a lot of armor in one place!!
Rob - Nice pics…& congrats
Rounds Complete!!
Glad everyone had a good weekend!
Its hard to get decent pictures under sodium industrial lighting, the yellow gives it away. Some digital cameras have a setting to help with this, I never tried on mine but it is there.
Thanks for posting the pictures of really amazing & inspirational work!
Thanks guys and it was great to see you all again. I had a great time and got to spend time talking to all of you. Mike it was a pleasure to talk, and drink a few beers [B] with you.
I left the show with only two small things [:(], this is thanks to Dupes and Boyd who raided the vendor tables on both days [8o|]. You guys should have enough kits to build for the next 5 years.
Wish I had more time for pics, or maybe less beer the night before [*-)].
Looking forward to next years AMPSEast show, and maybe the AMPS International show.

I don’t know about that Rob. I can’t really get credit for raiding the vendor’s tables - dupes outpaced my by about 4 to one!!!
Great pics. I’ll look and see if I have any that you didn’t and I’ll post 'em here!
Superb builds. Must have been a great time for all.
Excellent models. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Actually Dupes is calculating how many kits he can fit into his car and still get Boyd in there.
Great seminar Rob learned a lot from that buddy[Y]
You sure Dupes wasn’t checking his bank account first to see if he could cash in a CD to buy out another vendor table, why worry if Boyd could fit in the car, its all about the plastic man. [:P]
Great pictures Rob, I hope to have a lot more pics of all the models on the NMMA gallery in the next week.
Cheers,
That’s just two, the table in the foreground is Military Miniatures Warehouse angthe guy in the back is Alpenflage hobbies. Both great guys.
Hey look !! I made the pics after all,thats me in the background with the rust shirt [:D]
I’ve seen Dupes’ car… I think he has a roof rack…for Boyd… [;)]
Last time I talked to dupes (a week or two ago) he said he wasn’t showing up until Saturday…HAH!!!..I knew that was short lived! [;)] When I called him on opening day (noonish) he was in the vendor room…probably had been since 8:00 AM!
I’m bummed I missed this one guys…sounds like you all had a great time and a lot of success, congrats[t$t]
Nah, he let me ride inside, but I had to lay down across the seat so he could stack his haul on me!!
whew… you lucked out !! Dupes is a crow to shiny stuff around the vendor tables… [whstl][A]
Rob…5 years??? Pretty soon I’m going to hit critical mass and have enough kits to get me through from now until I DIE!
Unless I start upping my pace (which looks like it’s going to happen) or have model-building kids some day (which Mia would like to happen). I better grab a few more.
Hey man, I can either hoover up stuff on my list from the vendor tables for super prices, or pay 4x as much at my “LHS”. I vote for the vendor tables.
And we packed everything in the car just fine I’ll have you guys know! Although when Boyd and Nate told me they hadn’t sold everything they put on the club table I got a little worried…[:P]
