With just over a month to go until Dragon Expo 2006 I wanted to provide an update. T-Factory is proud to be a part of DX ’06 from June 23rd-25th 2006 at the Anaheim Convention Centre

http://www.dxpo.com/dx/06/contest-model.asp

In addition to the numerous awards being presented by Dragon Models and associated manufacturers exhibiting during the competition aspect of DX 06, T-Factory has been fortunate enough to be included in the events with four sponsored awards of our own. Each award included its own cup and cash prize. A 35th scale model gives you an idea of the scale of the Cups.

-The MIG Productions and T-Factory Award for “Best Finish” Includes a $100 USD cash prize.
-“Xtreme Modelling Award” Sponsored by Xtreme Modelling Magazine and T-Factory. Includes a $100 USD cash prize
-Judges Grand Award Sponsored by T-Factory, includes a piece of beautiful Waterford Crystal mounted on a marble base and includes a $100 USD cash prize. The award is presented to a single modeler whom in the judges opinion exemplifies the elan for which military modelling has become.
-Best In Show Sponsored by T-Factory, includes a trophy and $200 USD gift certificate.

All models at Dragon Expo 2006 in competition must be Dragon,Tamiya, Italeri, Hasagawa, Zvezda, Lion Roar or Mini-Art, or use a good portion of any of the manufacturers in the completed model or diorama. The catagories are: 1/35 Armor & Wheeled Vehicles 1/48 Armor & Wheeled Vehicles 1/72 Armor & Wheeled Vehicles 1/48 Aircraft 1/72 Aircraft Dioramas and Vignettes (All Scales) Ship (All Scales) Each category will have a very nice trophy as 1st place with a gift certificate for products.

The show location is the new Anaheim Convention Centre a short trip from LAX. Over three days (June 23rd-25th) there will be heaps of raffles, veteran guest speakers, Japans Best Modellers, Ron Volstad, Tom Cockle and Gary Edmundson, special dinners and exclusive new model premiers by Dragon (Sd.Kfz.234/1), Tamiya (Char B?) and Italeri (Sahariana). Don’t miss the show! Bring the family, Disneyland is only two miles away. Special hotel rates for Dragon Expo attendees. More information added daily at: http://www.dxpo.com/dx/06/news.asp
