II missed the announcement for the photo so I didn't get to meet you all at that point. I did meet several of you while talking around the models and it was great to meet you. I suspect there were other memebers there who may not have met up with you at the photo op and recieved rewards. Here is what I, slynch1701 took in.

Intermmediate
Gold for my K V-2
Silver for my Centurion and M1 Panther II

I had a great time at the show and it looks like our memebers did well. Congratualtions to everyone!

I wasn't aware the Tiger won, I got 1 bronze and one silver and the Tiger sheet showed 26 points. So I guess I need to find out how to get the other medal.
I thought the show was wonderful, meet lots of great people and saw some wonderful kits. Sorry I missed out on the picture but I couldn't find anyone to cover my booth at the time

Sorry I missed the picture as well. I see some familiar faces in the group shot, but dod not connect with you all for the picture.

The Nashorn got a bronze in intermediate, not my best work, but for a model I was still working on at 12:30 am Thurs, not too shabby...

Winston, they give one medal per catagory you enter, thus the Hezter and the Tiger both scored enough for a medal but I guess the Hetzer scored better so that's the one you get the medal for.

Chad,

A belated "ditto" as I too did not hear the news of the group photo.

But alas, simplified kudo announcement for me here:

Gold - Cat VI (major conversions) with SU-85.

Dave, thanks! Now I will need to step it up for next year. This keeps me motivated to not slack. However, it will be a challenge with the new model I have coming, my first child. I will be interested to see how much time I have to do any hobbying.

Sean, thanks for the comment. I now have it on a base and will just be showing it around the west coast shows.

BTW, where you the guy I was standing next to when we received the 'golds'? I am that guy with the red/white goatee and red hair.
