I posted this under the old Patcon Who's Going? thread:

It was a pretty good show. Armorama sponsored the following categories:
Category #12. Softskins 1/35 and larger.
Category #15. Armored Vehicles 1/35 scale post-1945.

Several attendees approached me about more information regarding Armorama.com.

The Armorama members present included Al LaFleche, Charlie (Tuna), John (JohnnyBoy), Jeff (Grasshop12), Gian (Monte), TankCarl, Bryan (Tin_Can), myself (Sabot) and possibly others. Too bad we didn't find time for a group photo.

Many Armorama members who brought kits earned awards.

Charlie (Tuna) got best out-of-box kit for his StuG III in category #14 and JRock (JohnnyBoy) was recognized for best out-of-box figure for his Germanic warrior and third place for his fantasy figure in category #19. Al LaFleche cleaned up in the categories he participated in and Gian (Monte) won for his Elefant diorama.

Believe it or not, I earned second place in category #27 Ships larger than 1/600 scale with my 1/76 scale Airfix LCM Mk III with M4A1 Sherman that I built for Operation Overlord.

I also received second place in category #11. Military Vehicles (all types) 1/48 scale and smaller with my 1/72 scale PIOModels Berge Panther series 0.

I also received second place in category #12. Softskins 1/35 and larger with my old Tamiya SAS Jeep I built for the campaign Move It! (Thanks for the campaign Roo!)

Three seconds was a good day for me. I'm still amuzed at the idea that I received an award for a boat.

Tin_Can, where'd you go? Folks were looking for you.

Special thanks to all those who assisted in sponsoring the trophy packs.

Charlie, that's awesome! I see I missed a good show today. I had planned to attend but things didn't work out that way

Congrats to all the winners, especially our Armorama crew. Well done guys!
And thanks guys, for the update and the pics.

Charlie, Thanks for the pics. You managed to catch all 5 of my entries!
This show made a major comeback this year. The last several years, attendance had been falling off and i think it was simply because they had no web presence. This year, they set up a web site and had registration forms available to download and fill out in advance.
Six members and a former member (who still attends events) of my club attended and four competed. As a group took home 4 first, 2 seconds, 1 Third, 1 OOB, 1 honorable mention and the best carrier based aircraft.

sorry about the blurry ones...

This was my first time entering... was cool to win the OOB too.. LOL even though I don't think there were any other OOB's in the category, but it's a start

we should do a thread of AR kits that were at the show..

what a huge load of pictures!

thanks!

i'm gonna feast my eyes on this one!

that must have been a great show.
lots of great models there.
iam also happy that a lot of our members went there

Great photos TUNA. Thanks for taking the time to post them.
Sorry I missed the show, but I had to go watch Kurt Busch sweep the races at NHIS this year!

It looks like it was a great turnout! I wish that I knew who did what but, none the less, some extremely talented modelers there!

Thanks for the post Charlie.

Hey, here's a picture of my Jeep prominently displayed in front of the "sponsored by Armorama.com" sign.

And the Wiesel that won Best OOB in th Modrn AFV category we also sponsored:

Great....You sponsored yourself!! :-) :-) :-) Lovely :-) :-) An armor guy places in ships and an A/C guy gets OOB in Armor. :-) :-)

Great work!

I had told the trophy guy that I wanted to do various 1/35 armor categories and if I couldn't then do the sci-fi category. Apparently, more than one armor category was unclaimed and he had us sponsor two armro categories instead of sci-fi. It is funny that my Jeep wins in the category we sponsored.

Hey, my boat did have a tank inside! And I am equally pleased that two of my group build kits won awards.

That Jeep is just drop-dead gorgeous Rob!




Good to see my woodwork being displayed as well. :-)

Though I didn't "plaque" , I did hit the raffles with 2 wins.First I won a Junkers G-38 transport plane in 1:144.
And my best score was the AFV club pak 43/41 88mm gun,in 1/35th.
"Highly represent complex construction"
"Barrel made by aluminum" ( What company is "Aluminum?")
'Pressed copper shield,double shield represent intensly."

My seems like an intense build coming up.

Rob I told you that SAS jeep was good!

Fantastic pics of a lot of very good models. Congrats to all the place getters

PS> thanks for putting the pics up Tuna

And here, for you viewing pleasure, is a photo of Rob's "boat".

Thanks for posting the link Charlie. Sorry that I couldnt make the show. Looked like a good one

Cheers !!
