NICE! Those are some incredible looking builds Chris. I have always wanted to go to a show but I live 2 hours away from the nearest modeling club, which is in P'cola, FL. I would enjoy seeing those in person. Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures Chris! You're right that they don't do them justice though. The detail in those 1/72 builds is just outstanding. My goal for this year is to turn out a build that I can enter at ROCON next year and not be completly embarrassedEmbarrassed

Wow, those are some beautiful models, thanks for sharing!!! 

Every time I go to a show I'm half inspired and half intimidated by stuff of this quality.

Hello all,

Last Sunday was our club's annual show in Rochester, NY.  It draws quite a few modellers from the surrounding cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, and even some from the Great Canadian North.  I thought I'd post pics of some of the work that was on display.  

Let me qualify this by saying that I didn't catch everything - my camera battery died before my desire to photograph did.  I got home and looked through the photo's and found a few examples of: "Doh !  -  I didn't get a pic of John Smith's F5.5F-U3 Grumman Alley Cat !  or  Jane White's 1/288 scale Fairey Fire Lemming".  

I'll start with the Aircraft that took it all . . . This Eindecker took 1st in the biplane/rigged A/C catergory,  Best A/C,  and  Overall Best in Show.  The picture doesn't do it justice - it was very impressive.

And in no order at all . . .  here are all the rest of the aircraft pictures from the day . . . 

 

This was my personal favorite - Taking a somewhat plain Olive Drab scheme and really making it impressive !   1/48 P-40N  

 

Yeah - 1/72 scale - that's what I'm talkin' 'bout !

Another 1/72 gem 

 

1/48's 

 

Back to 1/72 - you kiddin me ?!!!

 

Diorama with lit IP, lit engine internals, and soundtrack !   Sweet !

 

 

1/72 (I'm biased - I admit it !)

A collection of FW 190-A's

 

Close Enuf !

That's All Folks !
