JesniF-16 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Hey ladies and gents. I have never been to any contest or show of any sort, so I figured I would check out the talent! Just wondering if any ARC people are gonna be there? /Jesse Edited February 19, 2013 by JesniF-16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scapilot Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I went to my first one in Sept. Its cool to see others work. Kind d of gives you an idea where you're St with your skills. You should enter your super hornet if its wrapped up by then. You could easily take something home on that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waylandcool Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm thinking about it if the Milwaukee NNL isn't the same day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should enter your super hornet if its wrapped up by then. You could easily take something home on that one. Yeah, I'm really pumped about seeing other works.... It'll be a breath of fresh air to talk to others face to face about the hobby... I mean, my wife listens to me blabbering about my models, but she tends to think it's really nerdy :crying2:/> Thanks for yer vote of confidence with my model, but it would never be done in time.... Plus IMO the competition part of the hobby would just, well, make me lose interest.... or even make me cry! I'm thinking about it if the Milwaukee NNL isn't the same day. Not sure what you mean by Milwaukee NNL, but it would be cool to talk to a fellow ARCer! /Jesse Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toadwbg Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Toad. Congrats on the win for the MiG-21! Inshould have checked this thread earlier, because I saw you in the jersey. I built the 1/72 Su-27, by the way. I saw your name Wookie or something written on the entry and was hoping I'd get to bump into you. Great Su-27 as I spent some time looking at it. That us a BIG plane in 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Recon Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I wish I could have been there but I was able to take a trip to spring training down in Pheonix. Had a great time and the weather was fantastic. I did get a chance to go to the PIMA Air Museum and had a fabulous time there. Where is next years regional going to be any word? If any of you guys that live around the West Bend area want to get together send me a pm. Mike Edited March 20, 2013 by Recon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
