MCM Friend (4/6)

  1. Here's a pic of this year's awards. I really enjoyed putting the TV/Movie Vehicle award together. Fun putting this one together for its' obvious theatrical appearance.
  2. Awards for our show are hand made or re-purposed from older used trophies/plaques. I've been doing this since re-establishing our show event. It can be a bit consuming putting these awards together, but I usually try to have the award reflect some aspect of the theme it is to represent. Here's a pic of all the awards that were presented last year. Our Top Five awards are given to the best 5 models based on contestant voting.
  3. We had a great time yesterday with an increase in attendance as well as models on display. I want to extend thanks to those who attended, especially those who learned of our event throught MC/Forums. We look forward to next year and will post here once I have all the pertinent info.
  4. I'm putting out a call for vendors. Seams my 2 biggest vendors have cancelled on me 19 days before the event. If there is anyone in the Des Moines, IA area who has an interest please contact me at 515 803-1628.
  5. 25 days away from Glue Brothers MIME 4 NNL and we look forward to everyone who can attend this year.
  6. Excited to announce the return of Mid Iowa Modelers Expo NNL here in the greater Des Moines, Iowa area. Glue Brothers look forward to everyone that can attend this year's event. Looks to be another great time for us modeling enthusiasts to gather, make some new friends or enjoy the day with existing friends, as well as make a purchase or two from our event vendors. More info as we get closer to the day of the show.
  7. Last update as we are a couple days out from Glue Brothers MIME 3 NNL event here in Des Moines and wanted to share our Trophy package for this year. Hand made, unique awards as well as a couple of re-commissioned awards that were donated from various sources. Big thanks to Randy Baker out of Omaha, he had one trophy left over from his Nebraska Challenged event that takes place in the spring and donated it to me after the show. Lots of materials have been donated from a variety of businesses including some trophy shops and plexiglass suppliers. Printed License plates for our TOP 5 entrants, based on entrant voting. Always nice to get some recognition from your peers. Everyone stay safe out there and the Brothers look forward to those who are able to attend this year's event. Mark Johnson
  8. Looks like a good lineup of vendors for this year's show. A/K Collectibles, STAR Models, Futurattraction Scale Products, Parts by Parks, and more including a club table. Glue Brothers look forward to seeing all that can attend on Saturday, August 20 here in Grimes, Iowa. It's a Northwest suburb of Des Moines, easy to access from Interstate 35/80 exiting North on Hwy 141 to Grimes. It's a great way to spend the day with fellow enthusiasts, display your models and maybe make a fine purchase or two.
  9. Had such a great time last year MIME will continue again this year. All new lighting has been installed in the hall and no kidding, it is quite bright. We have a great line up of vendors this year. As well as those who vendered last year we have added a couple more. Very happy to announce that Scott Popham - Futureattractions will be joining us this year. Star Models will also be joining our group. Want to invite everyone able to attend to come to Des Moines in late August. It is the last weekend of the Iowa State Fair for those who may want to slip out and get some of those fried foods the Fair is famous for. Maybe one of the last model events before the next School season begins in the fall. Come and enjoy the show, share your projects with like minded enthusiasts and maybe make that purhase you've been looking for.
  10. In regards to any possible re-issue of AMC subject matter; I don't believe the can of worms with JoHan will ever be resolved. From my sources, and I could be wrong, but the rights/licensing in the hands one individual, and the molds are in another's possession. Can anyone say legal battle? From what I understand, the owner of the JoHan has the rights but not in possession of the molding. Worse yet, he is old and doesn't have the funds needed to go to court to get the molds back in his hands. Anyone out there have any clarity concerning this then please give your added info. With the obvious success that Mobius has had with all the pickup kits they have done, I don't understand why they wouldn't venture into the AMC void of kits out there. If, and it is a big 'if' Mobius was to decide to produce a line Mavericks they would kill in generating that much needed profit margin producing them. Success achieved, Mobius could move on to produce more AMC vehicles. I have come to the conclusion that none of us should look forward to any JoHan kits ever being reproduced.
  11. As of today we will have 6 to 7 vendors, using 14 tables. Glue Brothers are looking forward to everyone who can come and have a great time sharing the day with like-minded modeling enthusiasts. Hope to see you there.
  12. Posting an updated Flyer. Change in the admission line. Want to encourage Juniors to participate by being admitted for free.
