Headed to Altlanta for AMPS (RESULTS)
Posted by K-dawg on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 1:48 PM

I was there two years ago and enjoyed it immensely! I can't wait to go back. I'll be taking 3 pieces for the contest table. Two armor subjects for the AMPS side and one submarine for the "ordinance" category on the figure side. 

These are my subjects...

 

Wish me luck...

Wow K-Dawg, I'm not sure I saw that Pz II in the forums. Very, very nice.

Good luck and I see some medals in your future. Yes

Thanks y'all...

I can tell you that if they do find a seam anywhere, and i don't medal, then i didn't deserve it. I will try harder next time... Simple as that, no tears no complaining. Big Smile

Uh...so...just for your sanity; you should probably overlook the entire barrel region of builds on the tables Manstein...

 

I really enjoyed that Serbian/Yugo build; fantastic job.

Goodluck at the show, three excellent models. I especially like the Pz.2, I think thaat it's presented in such a manner that gives it an atmosphere all of its own.

I had a WONDERFUL time at AMPS this past weekend. I got to know a lot of people and see some old friends and look at great great models... what could be better than that!

 

As I said, I took 3 pieces with me and here are the results.Three Gold Medals and a Best of Theme Award for the Pz II... I was really surprised and overwhelmed at the awards, especially the Theme Award.

 

 

 

 

PS, Do not go to the Greek Restaurant next to the Marriott hotel if anyone attends next year.... Our waiter was a total jackwagon, literally throwing our tickets at us when we asked to have the bill split up... But, he did give himself an 18.5% gratuity on each one....

YesCongrats!  Agree with others I really liked your little panzer.  Any chance you have a picture of Manny?  I just want a proof that he isn't really a WWII general...

I appreciate y'alls comments, I really do. I would love to be able to go to AMPS Nats in VA next month and try my hand there.

I did not see or hear anything from Manny at the show... anyway, let him get his own thread! Confused
