I attended my 1st show down south.While I have attended shows in New Jersey,Connecticut,and Pennsylvania,this one in comparison was much smaller,more intimate,all of it fitting in a small gym.Vendor selection was also light,however I wasn't in the market for kits anyway.It was well attended by many enthusiastic modelers,everyone was friendly,and there were many quality builds.I also learned that IPMS Nationals are in Chattanooga,only a little more then 2 hours from me,may have to attend.It was fun and all the builds got me looking forward to getting back to the bench.
