Mark B Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I fell in love with car models in middle school in the 80s and I'm just starting to get back into them now. Back then my focus was on TV and movie cars- anything that was packaged that way got my attention, even if it was from a show I didn't particularly like! Needless to say one of my original loves was the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee and the rest of the MPC kits from the period. I've re-acquired or found all those old kits, so I'm working on a large diorama to house them all. I'll be posting that in the diorama section soon. Mark
chunkypeanutbutter Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Welcome! I should start a diorama as well.
Mark B Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 I tried to post in the diorama section and its not working- I can copy/paste or upload pics. Any suggestions? M
crazyjim Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Welcome Mark. You need to think about coming out to the Ocala Pumpkin Run on October 25. There's also the MAGS show in Tampa on October 11 & 12. Southlandz in Largo in November. Lots and lots of model car stuff in FLA.
Mark B Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 crazyjim: I have a conflict this year for both the Southlandz and Pumpkin Run (argh!), but I'm looking to next year for the Southlandz show! Where do I get more info on the MAGS show in Tampa? Mark
crazyjim Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 You aren't coming to our Pumpkin Run and you want info on MAGS? LOL. MAGS website is gone and their Facebook page doesn't say much. From what I know, it's October 10-12 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. It's usually register before noon on Saturday with awards about 3pm on Sunday and is usually around $7 or $8 for unlimited entries. I try and make time to call one of the MAGS guys to make sure. Any info I get I'll post in the contest part of the forum.
Mark B Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Well Pumpkin Run sounds better for sure, but I have prior commitments, so I'll take what I can get! . I found the MAGS facebook page and the numbers for the MAGS guys. Thanks! Mark
crazyjim Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 David Knight or Patrick Parnell? Both real good people. I was going to call David, but since you found their numbers, no problem. I might call David anyway and try to get some info posted here.
Mark B Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Found numbers for them both, but I won't have time to call for a few days so go ahead and call/post if you can.
Mark B Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Finally added my pics of my project in the DIORAMA section- go check it out! ("Welcome to Hazzard")
thatz4u Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Mark, Southlandz also has a Spring show, welcome, Al
Mark B Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks folks! Thanks especially to the locals. Fall weather always gets my creative juices flowing. I'm still waiting for any hint of Fall in the air here in Florida, so in the mean time I've been pretending in anticipation of it. Getting tired of waiting...
