Yesterday I attended the 2009 Model Expo in Petaluma Californa. There are about 250 pics on it’s own page, but here I’ve highlighted some pictures that I like.

I got a second place for my B-25B in 1/48 scale aircraft multi-engine prop category.

I got a third place for my SBD in the 1/32 scale aircraft prop category.

I got a first place for my T-34/85 in the military vehicles 1/33 scale and larger.

And last but not least – I got first place in the “Speed Build” contest which got me this nice award as well as $50.00 in cash!! Oh yea – I got to keep the model too – lol.

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:
