.. to say I had a blast is such an understatement!

Our beloved LHS: The Plastic Model Store, hosted a show today. About 200 models were entered, all very nice. It was a good chance to talk to old friends and make new friends. Some regulars from this forum were there: Luis Ayala (papin67), Miguel Barbosa (Barbo), Daniel Gabriel (acura99), Rogelio Mendez(Maverick351), Roberto Fanfan (mad slammer), Mike Candelaria(mcandela), Madera (made007), Carlos De Jesus (CarlosD) and maybe some more. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

At the end of the day I was surpirsed with 7 trophies!!!!!

From left to right:

SH-60B Helicopter 3rd place military aircraft

Ferrari 612, Porsche Cayman and Porsche GT3: 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively in European cars

Ferrari 308 and Porsche Boxster 1st and 2nd in curbsde respectively

Chopper: 1st place motorcycles

WOW!!! Thanks guys! Good thing Luis Ayala was a judge so he couldn't compete :wink:

He had a few of his models there as well and they are out gorgeous!

Ironically, none of my Corvettes won anything The american cars table was pack full with great builds and muscle cars abounded.

I had a blast of a time!

Thanks,

[Luis Ayala]

Congratulations Ismael, you just wiped out the "Euro" class :wink:

All your builds were outstanding; you did an EXELENT job and believe me, the prizes were well deserved.

I really enjoy the show; the builds were just GREAT and best of all, spend some time among friends and family. Hope to see you in the next one too.

:wink: :wink:
