                        And the results are:

                        I won a SIlver Medal for my Sherm ( Possibles were 1st, 2nd, 3rd for Club members..... Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honorable Mention for non-club members) I am not a member so Best I could have gotten was Gold. All-in-all, not too shabby for my 1st entry.

                        Just some awesome builds. I had a chance to get some pointers and such. I also scored big on the raffle, winning 1/35 Academy M3 Stuart "Honey", 1/35 Academy M151A1 Shmira Jeep, 1/72 Academy Leopard 2 A5, 1/35 Italeri DUK W Amphibious Truck and DML 1/144 Laugh [(-D] F14 D Tomcat. Tickets were 50 cents and I bought $10.00 worth.

                        I wound up buying DML Dragon Panther Ausf F, Tamiya M16 US Multi Gun Halftrack, Academy British Achilles Tank Destroyer, 2 Cavalier Zims (Sorry Moses) and Eduard German express masks: Numbers, Letters and Panzer unit markings.

                        Here are some pics from the show, I will post more on my website (I took 92 of them)

                        This one was awesome. A 1/16 scratchbuilt Sherm. Only the accessories were from a box! (guess who I thought of?)

                        Hey Mark,

                        It won 2nd place. The really huge 4 building Dio won 1st place.


                        PS...The "Look what we found" Dio is the one with the Sherman and the soldiers holding the liquor bottles.

                        Did I mention that I thought you are going to win something? He-he-he.

                        CONGRATULATIONS!

                        Congrats Eric.

                        From the look of all the other pictures you had a lot of quality competition. Makes your win all the the more impressive when you put it in that context.

                        Thanks for sharing the pics. Will definately take some time and really look over the other stuff on your site.
