Congrats on the award for a fine lookin’ A-10, Fermis! [tup]
Glad you were able to get some photos, camo. The Air Zoo is a nice venue but the lighting in there is terrible… I turned on my Nikon at one point, and I think it actually whimpered at me… [(-D]
Kevin
Nice job Fermis. You desreve it. Wish I could have gone.
Cheers
Glad to see such deserving models winning awards. Wish I could see that A-10 in person! Congratulations fermis. [^]
Congrats Fermis. The A-10 is gorgeous and I’m sure the pictures don’t do it justice
Congrats Fermis, you are definately a great talent to have on these forums. That A10 is just sublime.
…Guy
yeah you are 100% right. the lighting does suck. the museum pics are all dark. but, at least we got to see them in person. pretty cool i thought.
Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. It was great to meet up with you two. See you next spring at the Warren contest!!!
I’ll get some more pics up this afternoon(gotta mow my lawn 1 more time before winter), good God, 31 degrees this morning!!!
Thanks Again (wish you could have made it out also Rob!, next time!)

those are some nice pics fermis. good 2 see what award went with which model! the upper level shot of everything was cool. i never did make it up there. [tup] again, congrats on everything.
Again, Thank you, all!!!
You didn’t miss anything upstairs, 'cept the view. Just some tables and chairs!
I must throw in the big truth here:
For Helos catagory, there was only 2 entries
32nd jet: 3 entries
32nd prop; 3 entries
Best of show!!! That one I’m proud of, there was some really great work there.
pretty much every catagory was a little bit light on entries, 'cept for 48 prop, which I did not place in. Shallow victories, I know, but I’ll still take em.
FERMIS
Fermis,it dosent matter if it was just two models in the contest,you won which is great I never entered a show yet maybe one in April. Nice work on the models and congrats.great looking venue also.
John
Again, WOWSERS!!! Very well done on all accounts mate!!! Beautiful work on all!!![tup]
a win is a win right…like i said yesturday, you could’ve been the guy who didnt!!
jtrace, yesturday was my first show (i went too). i enjoyed myself and placed second in the figure category. i recommend you really try to make a show. even compete. i was really hesitant about bring my stuff and competing…my larger fig didnt win…that’s ok, i was happy to be there even if my other fig didnt win. it’s an experience that i think you should do if you really like this hobby! keep us informed if you ever go.
