Wow---good times...Its going to a nice contest, getting some good deals on kits, trading war-stories w/ other modelers, and then being recognized for your work that, IMO, makes the hobby even more enjoyable... Cool

Bt the way, Iove the medals your club uses---they are really cool!!! Congrats on the U-boat and other winners, you did quite well and for good reason.... Yes Yes

Big Smile Wow

Doubleplusgood! Congrats on the awards and the scores. One question though. How did you sneak your newly acquired kits into the house? All of us out here need additional methods so as to avoid injury.

Thanks guys!

There was some really good competition, except for the choppers, there was only one other on the table. I'll just melt those medals down for nose weights!!!

I just walk through the front door, with my arms loaded. She asked how many I won in the raffle...."none", "How much did you spend"?........."229 bucks"! I had just thrown that number out there as a joke. Not until I posted and did the math, did I realize I wasn't joking!

I established dominance early on. If you let "them" take the reins for a minute, it's over!

Okay, so you are serious that it really came to $229...! Wow, you are the "anti-Jeff"...

LOL at the dialogue w/ your wife---that's what I'm talking: Just come busting through the front door loaded down and let 'em have it. Coulda been a tad better if you'd said" "Get up off the couch and get out to the car, there's more in the trunk and I need you to help bring 'em in...snap, snap..."
