styromaniac Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Fingers crossed they actually pull this off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 They pulled it off. 36 modelers entered 131 models. Peoples Choice award went to RIchmond Va's Eugene Harris' spectacularly clean build of Revell's '29 Model A roadster. He told me that he had adapted his favorite wheels from a die cast.

styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) First place Competition Open Wheel went to Scott Bregi's immaculately detailed Ebbro Brabham BT18 1966 Formula 2 racer .

styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Level of detail was quite impressive.....like the tiny spring clamps holding the exhaust. Edited October 29, 2020 by styromaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Eugene Harris also placed in the factory stock category with his 1913 Model T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Another interesting entry in the Competition Open Wheel category was this Historic Racing Miniatures 1926 Front Wheel drive Indy Racer. I didn't catch the modelers name but I believe he placed 2nd to Scott Bregi's Brabham BT18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Always enjoy the unusual entries...how often do you see a Metropolitan rigged for drag racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Was pleased my own AMT 29 Model A racer eeked out a 3rd place finish in the tough Competition Open Wheel category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) If you are interested, I hear Tidewater Automotive Modeling Society's own Greg Layton posted 300 photos of the show on the TAMS own Facebook pages. Really have to thank Joe Formato, Bart Powell and the rest of the club for managing to put on a good model show during these tough times.
