Well here is my "2 cents". Some of my best friends i have meet at model shows, i also have had the pleasure of meeting some of the top builders and showing with them also, the likes of Clay Kemp, Dave Thibodeau,Mark Batson, Terry Marcum, and Doug Montgomery,and also have had the plesure of knowing the Late Ricky Couch. I build for myself and not for other people. Also have been asked questions about how i did something and was honored to have given the advice on how something was done! But the more shows i attend it's the same old thing people get there feelings hurt and feel like they were snubed or was not judged fair!!!!! And some people are there for the AWARD and if that's what the hobby means to them well let it be!! They are the ones missing out on the hobby of building childhood dreams and a want a be muscle car. This is a plastic hobby meant to have fun and explore your building mind of IDEALS!!! My 2 cents worth!!!! Jeff Marsh.
