Here are two of the awards I got from Spruefest 2020. They had split the 1/72 scale armor category into Wheeled and Tracked. I got these awards:

Third Place 1/72 scale Tracked:

Third place 1/72 scale Wheeled:

This was a tremendous surprise given the quality of the models on the contest tables.

Thanks for looking in.

Most excellent and well deserved!

Bravo Mark! Those came out great and the awards are well deserved. Congrats on this pair! Did you get anything else?

Thank you ever so much for the Kudos guys! It felt fantastic being recognized; especially given how many masterful models were on the tables.

Carlos, the only other things I got were purchases from Brookhurst during their show sale. You saw them in the "Latest Acquisitions" thread. I missed the chance to buy raffle tickets so I missed out on any of those prizes. I'm not too worried; their prizes were primarily 1/48 and 1/32 scale aircraft and 1/35th scale armor; some Gundams, some Sci-Fi and a few tools and supplies; most of which I have already. Nothing in the raffle appealed to me. Still, I had a blast at that show.
