So, who's going? I do hope to see a lot of people there, especially ones from here that I've not met in person.
By the way, the two head guys for Las Vegas Nationals have "officially" invited me to bring my entire armor collection to display again. Joe Porsche even joked he had an entire room set aside for me! LOL! It's certainly going to be an interesting show!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Better yet, you can charter a An-124 for your An-124.

Re: IPMS Nationals 2021, Las Vegas
LOL! You guys are a scream!
To be honest, someone else is renting the van. And I will let you know that; for the drive to Chattanooga, the entire collection, plus luggage and snacks all fit in a Dodge Caravan mid-sized van. I still had plenty of room to fill a lot of space with my $750.00 worth of purchases at that Nationals; including a P-1000 Ratte in 1/72 scale! I could even still see out the windows! So I told Gordon (who's willing to drive) to see if he can get a large capacity van that will fit everything: My luggage, my collection and entries, his entries and luggage, and the luggage and entries of anyone else that might come with us. Sean Fallesen comes to mind as another one who might be sharing our van.
These guys are so determined to have me there that they promised I could load in on Tuesday before the show starts so I can set up everything and have it done before the show opens. They even said I can come back Sunday to pack it all up so I don't lose any time on Saturday.
Man, I'm so excited! I just hope and pray I can make enough money to go!
So, who's gonna come and see this thing in person?
