LVZ2881 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I love these informal little shows... I decided to enter a contest for the first time. I entered my 2003 Matt Kenseth Taurus that I have photos of in the Nascar section. I took 2nd place in the Competition class and won $10 in HobbyTown dollars and a Hasegawa Toyota 88C LeMans kit. My 8 yr old daughter entered a Revell '63 Corvette snap kit that we built together, in the junior class, and won 2nd place as well, with another $10 in HobbyTown bucks and a Hasegawa '75 Lancia Stratos Rally car kit. Its a glue kit that she cant build quite yet, so it will be mine and I used both her and mine Hobbytown bucks to get her another Revell snap kit, this time the Kenworth Semi kit. This is her 2nd show in 3 weeks, and she took 3rd in junior and convention center pick at the last show and got 2 nice plaques for the awards. SHe is so proud of them.
RJ44 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Congrats on doing well. Glad you and your daughter had a fun day together.
Wildrice Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Congrats to both of you. I bet you were as excited as she was when she won.
58 Impala Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Congratulations on your contest wins. It's nice encouragement for younger modelers to keep bulding. Our Hobbytown show had a very dismal turn out, unlike last year which was pretty good.
