Model Expo 2008

2008 Model Expo

Jack and I attended for the second year – the weather was bright and sunny this year – last year it was rainy. This year I was fortunate enough to receive the “I don’t care what the judges think” award – or the People’s Choice Award – a very cool shadow box for my 1/200 scale Yamato. Here are some pics:

At the 2007 Silicon Valley Modelers show in Santa Clara:

Jared doing some judging – hey that’s my TBM you’re looking at…

Jared and I at the raffle…

Three judges looking over my Rattlesnake – I’m really not sure what they are discussing – maybe my masts are crooked?

Here I am with the models I brought and the awards I won:

Me and Vlad – another Yamatoholic I met at the show – and a very
nice guy too. Yamatoholics come in all shapes and sized – Vlad is
one of the big ones. I’m one of the balding ones.
