Hopefully you'll stop by and say Hi Tony.
I'll be the old geezer wearing the Armorama shirt with Grumpyoldman on it.

Hi Dave,
I go every year. I always look forward to Mosquitocon! It's a great show!
We'll have four of us AMPS guys from Connecticut. We're bringing models to show and money to spend!
I'll make sure to stop and chat sometime during the day!

this was by far the very best show i have ever been to. i really enjoyed myself. i went with my friend but he was getting bored because he isnt into modelling. i could have stayed in the vendors section all day. there was so much great stuff.

does anyone know who the vendor was when you first walk in, and turn to the right. the very first vendor. i bought a great kit from him and i would like to buy more

Mike,
The vendor just inside the door against the wall is Gene Bagnoli. Yes, he has very good prices and he's always ready to deal. He does the show circuit in the northeast. He will be at my show, AMPSEast, on September 27th. He doesn't do Noreastcon.
I was at the show with two of my AMPSCT buddies. Dave it was great chatting with you!
We really need a way to identify ourselves in person, I would have liked to meet you guys, Mike and Anthony!
I had a great time as always. Plus, my IG 18 won a second place and my Type 97 Chi-Ha won a first place, so I had a really good day!
Great show!
Next year we'll have to have an Armorama meeting point, we'll do lunch at The Grasshopper together!

His name is Gene Bagnoli. The name of his company is S & J Hobbies. As far as I know he does not have a store or a wabsite.

Mike,
AMPSEast is in Danbury, Connecticut, right on I-84 at the NY border. It is all highway and it's only a 90 minute ride from Wayne, NJ.
Get some guys together and do AMPSEast! As a treadhead you CAN'T miss this show!
Just think, 80 vendor tables of nothing but armor kits, resin, and aftermarket........
And a contest that rates each model for a medal, no 1st-2nd-3rd..........
And a chance to chat with Tom Jentz, Steve Zaloga, or Rob Ervin...........
Like I said, you can't miss this show!
Best,
Matt

Mike,
The vendor section is bigger, almost twice the size, and it's ALL ARMOR! No planes, cars or ships, just 80 tables of armor!

Good! You're gonna love it! Why don't you PM Anthony (Tojo72) or some other NJ Armorama guys and share the ride (and gas money!)?
