Jantrix Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I plan on attending and we might have other FAST members attending. Excellent! I look forward to seeing you again Jim.
crazyjim Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Same here, Rob. It's been since last February. I'd ask that you look at my painting. I think I've solved the orange peel issues I was having at JaxCon and I hope you'll agree. I plan on being there when the doors open Saturday.
Jantrix Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Heck, Jim, I've seen the improvement just from your pics here on the board. Can't wait to see them.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 We will have to plan on a group photo for the forum!
crazyjim Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Is the group shot at the October 22 show or this weekend in Tampa? Here's something else to put on your agenda - October 29, 2011, Castro Farm, Ocala will be a 1:1 car show and FAST has been invited to display our scale builds. More details later.
Jantrix Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 That sounds like fun JIm, I'll check the calender.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 On the 22nd in Ft. Lauderdale. Oh, and Adam, I am bringing a whole bunch of goodies to distribute (stickers and lapel pins) for the masses! Can't wait. I've got 18 models packed and ready to go. I'd take more but then I'd have to have nerves of steel!
crazyjim Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 You oughta be here in Tampa - what a great show and a million 1:1 beauties too! I took a pic of a wonderful (?) rat rod just for you Dr. Cranky. I'll pics up when I get home. The director of that Deuce movie is here. Lots and lots of wonderful things going on.
Jantrix Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Yep, I took about 200+ photos as well, I'll get them posted up soon. My photos of the models however are terrible. The lighting was so bad, macro didn't work very well so many pictures are blurry or had to be shot from further away with standard auto-focus.
fatkidd Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 rob, it was nice to finally meet you. and congrats to your son for making the other magazine.
Jantrix Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks Paul, and same here. Great to meet you.
crazyjim Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Congratulations to Rob & Fatkidd for placing at the show. What a great weekend meeting and talking with you guys. Let's go make some hinges. Next year's theme is going to be rusty, crusty & dusty - you need to be there Dr. Cranky. A HUGE THANK YOU to MAGS for putting on a fantastic show!

Jantrix Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Jim, not tooting your own horn, also got a handful of awards. You had some real great work there pal. And I'm also planning my theme build already. I'm thinking a 60's muscle car built up 70's style. Edited October 16, 2011 by Jantrix
crazyjim Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 I was thinking of taking one of my builds and setting it out in the yard for a year. That should get it crusty and dusty.
modeltruckmafia Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 That is great to hear. I can't wait to see your models in person and meet you. See you Saturday On the 22nd in Ft. Lauderdale. Oh, and Adam, I am bringing a whole bunch of goodies to distribute (stickers and lapel pins) for the masses! Can't wait. I've got 18 models packed and ready to go. I'd take more but then I'd have to have nerves of steel!
crazyjim Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Oh sure. While you guys are having a great time with model eye candy, I'll be traveling to Chicago for a meeting with my Veterans group. It's not fair! I think somebody should have checked my schedule before determining the date of the show Hope you all have a great time - post some pics!
crazyjim Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Here's the pics I took at the MAGS show in Tampa. http://s544.photobucket.com/albums/hh330/IMcrazyjim/MAGS%202011%20Tampa/
crazyjim Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Dr. Cranky, I was thinking of you when I saw this thing. I posted more pics of the 1:1 cars in the 1:1 reference section. Edited October 17, 2011 by crazyjim
