                        I too just got back from Hobbytown Usa Fall contest. I must say I owe alot to you guys here for all the help you have given. The two tanks that I have built both placed. I got a 2nd place for my Sherman and 3rd for my Bradley. It's not a first but for my first show I am pleased with what I came home with. Must say there are some really talented builders out there.

                        That's great Chris, congrats. The first and only model contest I entered folded due to lack of participation. Disapprove [V] Yes, there are many talented builders out there. Rather than a determent, they should be an inspiration.

                        Good on you LQ2. It's nice to see your hard effort was rewarded.

                        Don't worry about it not being a first - a placing is still a damn fine effort in any man's/woman's book (except for the jerk that said winning is everything - he obviously never won ANYTHINGTongue [:P])

                        Did your placings inspire Mrs LQ to enter next year?Big Smile [:D]

                        Thanks everyone.
                        Peter- She was a little upset that she did'nt get the howitzer done in time to send it along. That's allright though got a little project in mind to do with it that could be interesting. She wants to do a tank now anyway so I'm sure there willl be something there with her handy work. The Bradley that I got the 3rd place with actually had alot of painting done it by her so she's got a piece of a prize allready.

                        Mate,

                        Better get her name ingraved on the trophy too. (It's always good to store up a few "brownie points" for when you do something she doesn't like, at some time in the futureTongue [:P] ).

                        If you both are going to enter again next year you might have to build a His and Hers trophy cupboard for the awards.
