Btw, what is the “Popper” kit shown on the lower right of the R2 Coming Soon poster?

It appeared to be a custom early 70s Pinto....I believe it may be a re-issue of the AMT Pinto coupe w/ custom parts that was called the 'Pintera'... that photo reminds me of this photo I found of the Pintera box side....

Thanks for posting the pictures, so many great builds by past & present builders. I remember so many of the builds from the model magazines of the 60's. Thanks again.

Great show and a good chance to talk to some people I had no met before.  Sad to see this show end but thankful for all other ones that will carry on the tradition.  Here's just a sample of the hundreds of great builds and dioramas.

Pictures are just fine Rob, now days I use an I pad for everything, easy to make them bigger if needed.

Just cell phone photos taken from a distance... I try and not to get in too close to take closeups, plus in the back of my mind I have the fear (irrational?) of leaning in too far and stumbling and falling and wiping out a row of models...

I'm no ballerina...my attempts at snowboarding and skiing in my 20s-30s proved to me I'm not the most balanced...
