Well, if you're the guy limping around, I'll be the guy bumping into the tables, because I forgot and left my glasses home again.

Marc, have fun! Unfortunately, I can't make it this year, prior family obligations. First one I've missed in the last 4 years. If you entering the contest, good luck! I'm just sorry I'm not going to get to see your 190's from 1/144 to 1/24.  looking forward to pics on our site.

Well the car show was cancelled (of course I had to drive there THEN find out,Censored [censored]) But I was able to get the car home, and tucked in...with enough time to head to MosquitoCon Big Smile [:D]

 

I was too late to enter anything in the show so I just went on a shopping spree. For $13 I got: 1/72 Revell Catalina, 1/48 Monogram Hurricane, and a 1/48 Monogram Corsair. I'm a happy modeler...

 

The show seemed to have better representaion across all the classes this year. It wasnt all 1/48 WW2 fighters, there was a nice cross section.

 

For some reason everywhere I went I kept finding little green FW-190's in all sizes... (wing_nut?) Laugh [(-D]

I got there a little after 12.  The show was good - I haven't been to one for years, but this seemed very well-represented.  There was a wide variety of subjects - but I didn't spot a 1/144 P-51.  Maybe it was too small for me to spot, though.

There was a something like 1/32-scale USS Maine at the last table - it was huge!  There were too many people for me to get a really good look at any of the models, though - I would have needed to get down on my knees to get a really close look at most of them.  But from what I could see, they were all very well done.

Then I went into the other room to look for some model kits.  It was overwhelming, seeing nothing but boxes filled with models, from floor to ceiling - For a moment I thought I might have strayed into Rob Grovonius' basement. Big Smile [:D]  I picked up 4 kits I had built when I was a kid, a 5th that I had had my eyes on, and a book.  Grabbed a hot dog, wandered around a bit to see if I missed anything, and then I was on my way home.  I only spent a little over 2 hours there, but it felt like considerably longer - but not in a bad way.

I didn't see any WingNut types hobbling around, though.  And I managed to not knock over any tables.
