It was pretty a good show albeit a bit light on the turn out. Airplanes ruled the day with maybe 10 armor and figures on display and only TWO ships. NavyDave took 2nd place and some gigantic scratchbuilt UK steamer from the turn of the century took 1st. The thing was probably 4-5 feet long! From what else I can remember a 1/48 Tomcat in air refueling dio took 1st in aircraft and best in show. There are shots of the Cat over on ARC if you dig through the "What's New" page. I took a bunch of photos just haven't gotten around to sorting them out and uploading them. I'll take care of all of that soon so check back in a week or so.
