crackerjazz Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Met Pete and Ricardo Salame at the Heritage Con!!! :) Truly awesome, down-to-earth fellows!!! Learned a lot today from you guys, thanks!!! Sadly, just a single table was a devoted to space models. Sadly, too, Pete couldn't finish his LM stack, which would have been a most awesome sight! Oh, Pete, if you'd waited a bit longer before leaving you would have had a chance to examine Ricardo's astounding 1/48 Orion LM! I took some shots of his work below. I wish, though, that I could work my camera better -- it's always hit-and-miss the way my photos turn out and I always have to select the few clearer ones: Edited March 21, 2016 by crackerjazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K2Pete Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Those photos aren't bad at all! Thanx for posting 'em!! I'm really glad Ricardo brought his LM. It ... looks ... a-MAY-z-z-zing!! It raised the standard of the category! Plus, I would've liked to have met him! And it was great to meet you too crackerjazz! That LM has a lot of scratch built items on it, and the interior ... holy kow ... that's the kind of stuff I want to see in person! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Emvar Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Was also nice to meet you Ricardo......also met Pete..... very nice work Ricardo glad the kit made the trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ret Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It was very good to meet Ricardo at Heritagecon yesterday. We had a good chat about how we came by our interest in space flight and old memories. His work is by far the best I've seen - very inspiring. Thank you Crakerjazz for also photographing my Atlantis - I've only recently started building again after many many years - so don't be too harsh on my Orbiter. I've enjoyed coming to the forum for awhile now to pickup ideas and perhaps I'll be lookin for more help soon enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hotdog Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Beautiful models! Thank you for sharing the photos. Where is HeritageCon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ret Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Heritagecon is held in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. It's a great place with wide collection of historic aircraft flown by Canadian forces. It has one of only two still flying Lancasters in the world. Here's the site:http://www.warplane.com/ Recommended if you ever get up this way. Heritagecon held every year at this site - attracts people from all around the region and fron the States as well.

crackerjazz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I knew I should have stuck around to meet you guys -- had to split early too during the cars category and didn't catch the awarding of Space models. But congrats, Ricardo! Hey, Ret, you're very welcome - I knew I should've taken photos of all of them. Hi Hotdog -- HeritageCon is a one-day model sale/show/contest held every March at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum/Hangar in Hamilton, Ontario -- right next to the John Munro Hamilton International Airport -- http://www.heritagecon.ca/index.html I saw some vintage kits I now regret not buying -- I know they might end up in the unbuilt stash but that's what modelers do!

Ricardo Salamé Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi For those of you that never visit the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum this summer they will put one skyfest and I don't know if an airshow. In my flickr site you can find some of the pictures that I took on those shows https://flic.kr/s/aHskgj73ts https://flic.kr/s/aHsjGb4Smg And here something about spaceflight https://flic.kr/s/aHskddoMfw https://flic.kr/s/aHskdBFi3P Regards Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K2Pete Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've only recently started building again after many many years - so don't be too harsh on my Orbiter. That's a nice Shuttle Ret ... you should bring it to the London and/or Ajax show too. I'll bring 7 or 8 Real Space models, Ricardo can bring 7 or 8, cracker jazz can bring a finished one, or 4, and we'll overwhelm the organizers with Space models!! Don't be shy about posting your builds ... I would've loved to see your build up of the Shuttle ... like what aftermarket, if any, did you use? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo Salamé Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes I love the texture of the shuttles, very well done. We will have AJAX or London shows? Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K2Pete Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Here's the links http://www.ajaxscalemodelcontest.com/index.html http://londonscalemodelshow.ca They are both good shows. London is held once every 2 years, if I recall correctly. If you decide to go, let us all know and we'll overwhelm them with Space models!! :woot.gif:/> Edited March 23, 2016 by K2Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 ...cracker jazz can bring a finished one... good one, Pete :) I want to say "I'll surprise you all, just you wait!" But, that, as they say, will be the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ret Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys! Sounds like a great idea - Heritagecon was my first show - would love to do others and meet you'all. I've been following all your work for awhile and am very inspired. I'll try and post some shots of my efforts and see what you think... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo Salamé Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Pete I wasn't aware of this two shows for this year. For sure I will be in Torcan and AJAX. I have to think about London. I am reasambly my EVA LRV, because it suffer a transportation accident. Long story. An I hope to finish LM 3 Spider for AJAX.

K2Pete Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanx Ricardo ... I'm gonna pre-register for this show. Hope to see you GTA ( Greater Toronto Area ) guys there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ret Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Would love to go - I'll try - but I may be in Montreal that weekend moving my daughter. Question - I've got both the Monogram and Revell LM kits that you guys did such amazing work on - what are you uing for foil and how are you getting it to stick. The effects Pete and Ricardo are getting are fantastic. Also - what paint are you using - is enamel better than acrylic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
