IPMS Nationals in Columbus July 22-25

There was no plan there…clean clothes were limited when I left…that shirt happened to be clean!

Haha, I used to ride out that way by Hamburg, Pinckney, Gregory and Stockbridge. Used to stop at the Zukey Lake Tavern a lot too. Almost bought a house in Whitmore Lake.

Zukey Tavern expanded and is now rediculous…crap-ton of people, long waits for a table…NO THANKS!, We go to Whitmore Lake Tavern instead…smaller, rarely ever have to wait, friendlier and same menu!

I drive around Whitmore Lk every day…to/from work. M-36/9 mile is choked with traffic these days. I work out of South Lyon.

That dude in the Flygvapnet shirt… looks a LOT like fermis, but is he wearing a loincloth??

Baggy cargo pocket pants could conceal a loincloth…[^o)]

He said that he would have a guitar… I don’t see any guitar…

No rock and roll bands providing entertainment at the show? [:O]

Hey Fermis- I judged aircraft, and yeah, your Barracuda was a serious contender for best aircraft. VERY nice job! Dunno if you checked out that 1/48 natural metal P-47 with the open engine and wings, but boy- that was a piece of work. What else did you win with?

Dave

Thank you…I had a fair amount of stuff there!

I thought that was Marks. I’ve watched him build that thing on the IPMS forum. That thing is HUGE!!!

Whoa, I guess you did. Congrats on your wins.

Ya sure did !

I especially like that yellow wing navy monoplane ! [:O][H]

…and what scale is that type VII Unterseeboot ?

You, M anny and everybody else must have needed to hire hotel staff to haul away the model entries , awards and whatever ya purchased at the show.[^o)]

Congratulations to the prize winners and the fashion forward Flygvapnet wearer [Y]
