cruz Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What's this I hear about the editor of the "other" magazine talking smack about our NNL in Maryland????????? I will stand by my president Lyle and Norm Veber to make sure that their reputation is as it has always been, integral......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Willits Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 They just said the Armory smells like a locker room,,,,uh,,,and it does, because it's an armory,,,,,,with a big locker room. I promised the editor of "the other magazine" scented candles and a bottle of Febreeze next year. Actually Gregg was in the same photo room at our show, so maybe he knows exactly what smelled bad. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hey Lyle, Maybe next year instead of handing out NNL license plates and frames at the door, the club can hand out little tiny christmas tree air fresheners that you will then have to hang from your models mirror.

Andy Wyatt Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I didn't see that...I haven't read the "other" magazine in quite some time...but that is a pretty ignorant thing to say. Why comment on something like that especially when it has nothing to do with the model show itself? I've been to Mid Atlantic NNL the last 4 or 5 years now. The model display room is well lit. The MAMA'S crew are well organized, the vendor room always full of good deals. As far as models go the number of cars on the table are pretty near that of NNL East and quality-wise the models at Mid Atl are comparable to any show anywhere.

Lyle Willits Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Don't let this get out of hand, guys. Jim from S.A., in his editorial, was talking about a typical NNL style model show where the air conditioning lacks a little horse power in an older government facility. He also commented on the heat and humidity in Maryland and the occassional modeller who stays up all night to finish a model and bypasses the shower stall on the way to the event. All this is true. Let's face it. We've all been to model shows or even small model club meetings where we have encountered one or two (or maybe 10) people who are completely foreign to such things as soap and water and wouldn't know a stick of deodorant from a stick of butter. Their 10 year old unwashed jeans and "Lions Dragstrip" t-shirt (purchased AT Lions Dragstrip when it was still a functional raceway) could walk in under their own power, given the proper amounts of electrolytes and transmitted shockwaves. Jim wasn't knocking our club or our show,,,,but I wrote him a little tongue-in-cheek email anyway. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run in to a couple people as mentioned above at small shows, and there's hobby shops that have that great odor of mildew.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have tried that "blue stuff". It is really windshield washer fluid but they sell it in the liquor store and give it a fancy name. You could probably strip paint with that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
