Model Fiesta 2026
So had a great time at Model Fiesta 2026 in New Braunfels (just outside San Antonio). Met some guys that I hadn't met before and spent some money. I entered 5 models (max limit) and got two bronze for the Gundams I took. The YF-19 and the two Super Hornets didn't place. The judges are tough at this show but that's not a bad thing really. I helped judge some of the armor and I don't think I'll judge anymore. It's really not fun and takes so long to do. I did get a card from another modeller on the YF-19 that said that it was an awesome model so that was cool. I was so busy that I wasn't able to get pics but I'll see if anyone else did and post them.

Re: Model Fiesta 2026
Tell me Mike… were there any arguments between judges when judging a model kit? You know… punches thrown, insults hurdling at each other, a couple F yous, and the like?
