Billetproof 2012

[crazyjim]

Here's some pics of the MAGS model show and some 1:1 pics I took at the Billetproof show yesterday at Big Daddy Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing yesterday.

I heard someone say there were over 300 entries in the model contest.

Some of you will really like the UNshiny 1:1 vehicles.

Nice pics, Jim. Looks like a lot of fun! Powerful kind of you to include some rust & rot for your SHINY-blind friends.

I didn't want be accused of slighting the few UNshiny in the group, Bart. Besides the entrants, there were always a bunch of people around looking at the models. MAGS does a really good job. There a pic in the of a gold '66 Nova. Took best of show - the build is UNREAL! Guy name of Dirk built it. He's in a pic with his frame jig.

That gold nova is one of my faves. I liked the gold(?) '65 Chevelle as well. Lotsa great stuff in those pics.

Thanks for sharing. I have no problem with flat paints. It's the unfinished bare metal, rusty stuff that I don't care for. But that's been Beaton to death already. Thanks again for sharing. Not a lot of thy stiff over here anymore. (shows that is)

Thanks for sharing the eye candy, Jim. It looks like a great gathering of talented modelers. Looked like the weather held too. Thank you.

Great weather! Fatkidd was there taking pics and hopefully he'll post them up here too.

Geesh...give a guy a chance to upload pictures. haha

I had a great time. There were a lot of models and the 1:1 show was nice as well.

I am partial to the shinier cars, but I did like a few of the non-shiny ones.

enough of me babbling...on with the pics... http://s19.photobuck...20model%20show/

Thanks for the pics, Fatkidd. It was a pretty good day. I'll send the file over to Marcia to add to FAST.
