Yes it was another great show with fabulous models on display.  Vendors galore too.  I was fortunate to win some awards.  My '40 Ford Convertible took First Place Street Rod and Best Interior.  My '51 Chevy Fleetline took First Place Custom..........and Best In Show...!!!  You could have knocked me over with a feather...!!!

In my opinion though, the model that should have won Best In Show was a Large Scale sunken submarine that had an unfortunate meeting with an underwater mine.

I'm glad you posted this, Rich!  I told you at the show that if you didn't, I would....lol.  Well deserved awards.  I was happy to hear your name announced so many times!  For those of you who have not seen Rich's work in person, you are missing out on a real treat!

Congratulations Rich!  Your work was amazing to see in person, I love that interior in the 40! 

I would also like to give a shout out to James Duff, aka Niteowl7710, for his class win with his McLaren racecar.  I hope he posts a picture of it.  It is gorgeous!

and yes that car is beautiful.. great job!
