Local model club has a monthly contest, just for honors. You compete against everything regardless of subject matter. There were some spectacular aircraft there tonight, and then one of my aircraft, and two cars from me. Both of my cars tied with each other for second place. 2006 Z06 Corvette built OOB, and the Impala Lowrider, which I wired, and added all kinds of BMF to the engine, and interior, flocked the carpet, detailed out the guage panel, etc. I was shocked, happy, and proud. I’m not even a member of the club. At least not yet, my intention was to join tonight but I didn’t have cash on hand, only plastic. I completely spaced entering my two armor builds which are already sitting at the shop inthe display case where the meetings are held.

I didn’t take any, but I might be able to get the photo’s from the club president guy type person. He was taking a buncha photo’s of the models on the table. I believe he puts them in the monthly newsletter, along with descriptions. I will see if I can get copies of the photo’s he took.

Congratulations and keep up the good work. Please post pictures if you have them.

Not bad. I’ve only entered my stuff in contests twice, both times earning sceond place honors. The first time it was many, many moons ago at Johnnys Toys in Greenhills, Ohio where the Cincinnati Challenge was held in 2004, but long before that, at that time a very small event 1975 maybe. My entry was an Ertl International-Harvester COE semi tractor and I have forgotten what beat me. The second time was in (about) 1998 I entered an IMAI Harley Davidson Fat Boy at another Ohio contest (Y City Modellers, Zanesville). I later found out that the guy who beat me is an accredited champion (Vern), and he really did smash me but I acknowledge that he builds much better than I do. For now!
