I was there and did quite well from myself. 5 entries in 4 classes, 3 firsts, (54 mm figures, mounted and unmounted,and vignettes) a second (collectins)and best military figure (4th Massachusetts cavalry)!
For a regional, turnout was on the light side, possibly due to being Mothers' Day weekend.
Best of Show was an Accurate Miniatures 1/48 TBM Avenger in Atlantic theater colors that was built out of box.

the 15 CWT chevy was built by a guy in my club named Tom Faith. I saw it as a work in progress several times

ok, this'll be the last installment. its taken me some time to get all my pics in line, thats the reason for the delays in getting all the pics up. still, here they are, the last ones i took:






























































and of course, this is my pz.38 which took first place in junior military vehicles, and Best Junior at the show


here's a final pic of the entire show room. there were models going along the walls from this corner, but i couldnt get them all in

hope you all enjoyed the pics!
