Nice! I'm sure you'll place with those. Looking forward to seeing pics from the show.

Re: Model Mania 2019
Ok sorry for the delay on the show report. Finally got some time to get it done.
So I got there at opening, registered my models and took them to the display tables. With the Y-wing, I joked with SWMBO that if someone brought a big Starship Enterprise, I was screwed. The A-10 was just in the completely wrong category and no one said a damn thing about it. If I had moved it down a few categories it might have had a chance. Unfortunately it got lumped into a category with starships from other TV/Movie series. The vendors were decent this year. There was plenty for me to spend money on. I did miss out on a couple and I couldn't figure out why. Then while coming back inside after making a run to the truck to drop stuff off and smoke, I noticed a guy with a cart that had several of the models I had thought about getting. Apparently he was buying up a lot of the high end or very sought after kits as I heard him say that it was his third load. Asshole.
Well when they finally got to the judging, they split the "Star Wars/Star Trek" category up. They do that when there's a ton of kits for in it. SO they split it up into large scale and small scale. I was happy with that cause it gave the Y-Wing a chance. Well it won First Place!!! I was shocked. Yes I know my Y-Wing is a great build but still. They said that they had a record number of entries in the contest (600+ models) and there was some great work there. Here's the link to the album with all the pics I took. Let me know if it doesn't work.

It's a beautiful build and earned that win, way to go medic! This guy did he happen to have a thick Russian accent?
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

It’s a Y-wing... They’re supposed to win...

Re: Model Mania 2019

You mean the guy buying all the kits? No he didn't.

Re: Model Mania 2019
A well deserved win on the Y-Wing. Great... another Turk hoarding all the kits before anybody had a chance to buy them.

Re: Model Mania 2019
Thanks Blacksheep! He didn’t horde all of them. I still got some good ones.
