Devilcon is fast approaching..Sat. Wondering if any members are heading on down. Dave(Grumpy) and I will be there..can we look forward to any members Dave can abuse?

Pvt Parts will be the one wearing the Armorama T-shirt......
I'll be the one wearing the crabby old man look....... taking pictures for those who can't make it.

I might make it, what will the times be?

Dave and I will be leaving around 8:30. Opens at 10:00. David if you make it to the turnpike , just hold up a sign . We'll pick ya up! :-)

Heh....Getting picked up by you two is almost scary.... at least you didn't mention getting dressed up in a tamiya box..:-)

I live like 10 minutes away from Runnemede, and go to the modelfest shows they hold in the same holiday inn. Hopefully (probably) this show will be better then them. The "contest" they had two years ago had 1-2 people ccompeting in each category, so in effect you ended up competing with yourself.


What time do models that are being judged have to be there?

Registration ends at 1:00.

Awesome! I'll deffinitely be there. Are you guys entering anything?

John is, I'm not...... I'll just be taking pictures, and trying to freeload a meal...... :-) :-)

Do you need to be from the NJ club to enter a model? Do you even have to be from the state?
I'm driving down from northeastern Pa with my dad for the show. He's originally from NJ and said he didn't mind taking a day off from work. I was thinking of entering the juniors section with my first dio.

No. You could enter a model, even if you were from pluto. Think twice about entering in junior, if you enter there, you cannot enter anywhere else.

Dave, you should bring that sherman to display.

Dave.... the Sherman isn't finished..... but slowly getting there...... :-) :-)

Finished shminished, who cares? Bring it anyway. Remember, a model is never finished, it is only abandoned!








And besides, I wana see it!

If I can find something to safely pack it in, and Pvt Parts allows me......

I'm also bringing my sympathy cane.... so I can get a seat someplace......
:-) :-)

Shoebox and tissues. Very simple. :-)

Well, a good time was had by all at New Jersey's Amps Show.... at least we Armorama members had a great time.

Pictured from left to right is SEDimmick, a very nice and polite young man. Next is airwarrior- David Niescior, a fine young modeler. Myself, a loud and obnoxious senile old-man, and of course Pvt Parts- John Fortier.

Dave won 2 silver, and John won a bronze. I made more enemies, didn't influence anyone, but had a hell of a good time seeing people I haven't seen in quite a few years. (I also spent way too much money, but picked up a great resin kit--- C.G.M.'s Dodge WC40)

Hopefully this Amps Chapter's show will continue to grow.

As soon as I can process the photos, I'll be making a gallery.



There were a few other members there, but they were busy doing club/show type work....

It really was a fun time. I just wish I hadn't stayed up till midnight the night before....I'm pooped. It was great meeting you guys, I had a blast. I wonder when the next show is...

Fun it was..and that includes being Daves nurse maid. David , it was a pleasure meeting you. You are a fine young gentleman and one heck of a fine modeller.
