Right now the Dallas Texas group is claiming title to largest group of Armoramaites collected. We have photo evidence of 4 of us and there were two others who got away earlier due to famioly obligations. If you offer photo proof of more than 4 we will acknowledge....at least until August when we try to top this mark in Arlington, TX Pictured are KFMagee in Green, the big guy in back (he was squating a bit is Roten fuhrer, the guy in black is Moezilla, and me Blaster in my famous orange t shirt. Fun was had by all and Keith gave lessons on pouring and casting resin (you should see his dioramas up close and personal friends.

This is but a small contingent of Armorama UK.. which I think is a bit larger even than Texas? :-)

Our helicopter is bigger aswel... :-) :-) :-)
Oh, Teacher is not on this photo, as he only popped in for a short visit, nor is another member, who's name escapes me, who was at home with a hang over..:-)
Your turn

We had a bigger collection at the last Amps East...
Me
Pvt Parts
Al LaFleche
EasyOff
300Wins
and a few others who's name's escape me.
No pictures, we were afraid of breaking cameras, not to mention that we rarely sat still long enough to have the official camera dude do his job...... plus me making poor old pvt parts walk 5 miles up hill, barefooted over broken glass, and three foot of snow, in pouring rain, against 60 miles per hour winds, gusting to 90, at gun point, to the cash machine, so I could buy just one more model.
:-) :-) :-)
But as always nice to see photos of the members getting together.

You need to do a forum search for some of my field trips in Massachusetts. Among the attendees were:
Dixon66
Marty
KKeefe
Tuna
rfeehan
Jerry007
Alpenflage
JohnnyBoy
Grasshopp12
Monte
MLD
Marine67
and me
All in one place at one time and I'm probably forgetting someone. Kevin Keefe took a photo of that one. I think it was either the time we rode the M113A3 or the M1A1.
A couple of the local shows, PatCon and BayCon, normally had at least myself, ajlafleche, Tankcarl, Tuna, Alpenflage (he missed one), Monte, Johnnyboy and Dixon66. Tin_Can showed up at PatCon too.
Our Nordland AMPS club meetings had myself, Tuna, Alpenflage, JohnnyBoy, Marine67, and Monte in attendance every month.

Sorry Al!
Here's a photo Charlie (Tuna) posted from Baycon last fall (Nov 04). I believe it was the last local show I attended in New England before moving to Knox.

From left to right: Monte, Al, Me, Johnnyboy, Dixon66, TankCarl, Tuna & son.
At today's IPMS regional show in Louisville there was myself, Indycopper, SFCSummit, and one other member. I'll look his name up in a minute and edit this post.

The gauntlett has been thrown !! :-)
Only photographic evidence counts. So Rob's record of 7 is the standing high. We equaled that amount, but only got 4 in a picture. My goal now is to take the lead in August, when our missing souls show up and only folks who are pictured count

Ola Guys
Well I have another Photographic evidence which at least of all the Photographed evidence is ranking The Dutch speaking group as number 1
A picture from the KMK Scaleworld 2003
Standing from left to right: Ronny (Roadkill) Noben, Erwin (Golikell) Leetink, Wesley (Wezz) Pauwels, Dirk (Bep) LeHaene and Juul (ZeroCool) Hermans. Then the 2 kneeling guys Jan (general Failure) and Robert (FAUST) Blokker and Lying on the ground is Danny (eagle) Wennekes
Often we manage to get a group together of around 12 to 15 people on events or fieldtrips
So basically yeah we are number 1

Those of us in Texas salute you. We however like to be the biggest. I signed up 2 more today while I was at the Squadron shop open house. Keep in mind too that for you Dutch guys, that's a whole country. For the Dallas Platoon, it is only 1 CITY, throw in our Houston and San Antonio group and we probably see the otherside of 20 . But the rules in the contest are, only pictures count and everone has to truely be a member to be counted. Keep the pics coming guys...it's great to put faces with names.

Don't forget the Midland platoon......we're small (all 1 of us), but part of the country of Texas.
