It seemed to me that the vendors were doing brisk business. I saw lots of people carrying large bags of kits to their cars to add to their stash.
This was one of Jeff's builds. Very well done. |
I entered models in three categories. They were, the Ambush at Colleville sur Mer diorama in 75mm in Misc Dioramas, Medussa and Demophilus in the bust category, and "What Have We Done" in the 90mm and below figure category. I am happy to report that I received 2nd place awards for Demophilus and "What Have We Done", a first place and Best diorama in Show for Ambush at Colleville sur Mer.
I was dismayed to discover that the camp fire light in my shadow box diorama was not working. I fixed it when I got home. Turns out the LED went bad.
Dave Hoffman's Best in Show Winner |
I also helped judge figures along with other members of the National Capitol Model Soldier Society. Dave Hoffman, who along with his wife Darcy is a driving force in the NCMSS, received several awards awards and got Best Model in Show for his Ashigaru figure. The figure is exquisitely painted with excellent ground work. I especially liked how he mounted it on a miniature bonsai stand. Congratulations to Dave.
Here are some other models that caught my eye.
Nice Porsche 934 in 1/12th scale. I received this kit as a birthday present from my brother, but am hesitant to build it. I am not experienced in building car models. |
Vader's light saber is drooping |
Always a lot of airplane models at these shows. This was one of 4 tables with aircraft models. |
I believe this got first place in military vehicle dioramas |
