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?

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.

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!

Thanks for yer kindness :D/> I'm just gonna hang in the weeds and take it all in.... I just really wanna see some quality builds & maybe buy some goodies from the vendors!!!!

I'd love to be there, but my wife and I will be in Hawaii that week. I hope you can take some photos and post them here.

Had a great time today! Wish I could have spent more time talking to some folks. There was one gent I unintentionally got away from but said he'd be at the Grumpy Troll later. Sorry about that!

I won 2nd place in the 1/48 Jets category for my 1/48 mig-21. Unexpected as I wasn't even going to bring it!

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.

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
