Cincinnati Model Car Show & Swap Meet

Moderators - feel free to relocate this article as you see fit.

Today I attended the annual model car show and swap meet hosted by the Cincinnati Auto Replicas (C.A.R.) club in suburban Cincy. 

Lots of good looking models on the show table, and lots of temptations in the swap meet area. As usual, I ran into some old friends from the hobby, and had a good time hanging out together.

Many thanks to the guys at “C.A.R.” for hosting the event.

Following are a few snapshots of some fun stuff I saw on the contest tables:

It was perhaps my favorite at the show! Well done job on the “weathering”, rust, etc. Note the miniature magazines laying around.

Of course, this is the kind of vehicle my mother told me to avoid as a child.....?

Wow, some really great modelling going on in southwestern Ohio!  I really dig the weathered Dodge truck and the Porsche tractor.

I'm sure that the Cincy club will be posting some much better photos of the contest cars. I saw someone running around with an expensive-looking 35mm camera, so the pix will undoubtably be 100% better than those from my humble cell phone
