This show is one of the top shows along with the Birimgham Classic, top model builders and top quailty models on the table along with top notch vendors!!! If you have not been to this show you need to give yourself a treat and go, only one thing i do not like about this show, they give out the TOP 10 and Best of Awards, last year 8 of the awards went to club members i do not agree with this at all. I feel that the host club members not be allowed to show in the voted area of the show if they please show them in a show only area by club members. I have heard and talked to alot of people and they said this also was not right!! This is of my 2 cents worth and what i feel. As i have said the show part is AWSOME and have the best builders from all over!!!! Thanks Jeff.

I stand to be corrected sorry for the miss lead info!! I did not get to attend the show last year a good friend went and he said that the awards was given as so i posted. Sorry i was miss told. That is a very good case of dont let your mouth overload your buttocks!!! Thanks for the heads up!!! Jeff.

Thanks for the info....I downloaded all the event rules and map....not too many categories , but it is a great show. I do only dioramas ,...that means that in a event like this I have 99.99% of posibility of not winning . I have also been in other events with more categories , and not always win a award, I think, as a model builder , I want my models to do a great impression. Winning or not winning for me is not so important as to be part of the game , and to be with the best . No heart feelings , this is only my idea of a hobby.............................Barbo.
