Those dioramas :heart_eyes: I would love to build something as beautiful as that someday

Forgot I’d taken some shots of a couple of the Lancaster’s engines. Someone may find them helpful.

Very nice, Tim! Would have liked to have gone, but Canada is a bit far. Lucky you to sit so close to a Lancaster!

Living so close to the E.A.A. grounds means I’m in “Seventh Heaven” for that one week in July when I get to hear and see these beautiful planes overhead.

Ah Man, the Paddy Wagon still in the shrink wrap and the square Aurora box of the Stalin tank! You’re a lucky man!

I agree. I have been trying to think of ways to bring in younger builders. Not children necessarily, but younger builders, to car shows.

I have been asking the people that run the local shows around here to add some classes that might bring in more diversity, like lowrider and tuner classes, but I have not gained traction yet.

The look on that young boy’s face staring at the star destroyer is PRICELESS !
That should absolutely be featured in the magazine. EPIC.

This very very large tank was on a motion sensor and the turret would turn at people walking by. The kids LOVED that thing.

I agree Bob! Thanks for mentioning that boy’s reaction because I missed it the first time I cruised through these photos.
