                        A little shout out for AMPS (Armor Modeling & Preservation Society) chapter in Honolulu and club prez William Florig.  The chapter started up last year and is a small but growing community of like minded (and out-of-their-minded, since they let me in Stick out tongue) armor afficianados.

                        They were at the bi-annual Aloha "Great Guns" gun show at the Neal Blaisdell exhibition hall, and so I shot some pics of their display (but all with my cell phone, sorry).  At least you can tell what are in the photos!  Enjoy.

                        ...but I couldn't tell what everything was, as I neglected to cross I.D. the models and builders.  I'll do better next time.  Pinkie promise.

                        Real G: thanks for taking the time to both take the pictures and to share them with us. I for one really enjoyed them.

                        No problemo!

                        We'll work on placards to provide proper ID of the models and builders for future displays.  We had a Panzer I that got left behind, and I had no idea who it belonged to!  Fortunately the builder contacted us asking about the model, so all is well.

                        You are welcome Stik!

                        One of my weaknesses is weathering, so I joined hoping to learn something from these guys.  I also want to get into figure painting (well at least the crew on the vehicles) and dioramas.
