Great event!! It was really nice to be back to what I have always considered my "home" contest. Everyone is very friendly, the venue was great, and the judging is very fair and well done. Thank you to Dan, Bernie , and the rest of the crew for a well run contest. My weekend started in San Luis Obispo, CA with TSA destroying my well packed models, or at least I thought they were well packed! I started out with eight models and salvaged six of them. The models were in three clear, stackable totes that clipped together. Somehow TSA managed to turn the whole set up over in the Xray machine and parts and pieces came out the other end! The first three pictures show the before and the last three the aftermath! Needless to say I was not happy! I found out from a nice young lady at the contest I could request a private screening from TSA which I did at Sky Harbor and the models were not trashed and made it home safely. Live and learn!!
