crackerjazz Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Made a quick trip to the show. Was in and out but was able to take some pics: Is the sentry being prepped for a new coat of paint? I hope they rebuild the cockpit. Are those raised panel lines on the fuselage? : ) Was hoping there'd be more space models than what I saw: Edited March 26, 2018 by crackerjazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K2Pete Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thanx for the pix cracker jazz. I had everything packed up ready to go to the show and ... something came up ... and I missed it. Any group pix? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wasn't part of any, maybe next time. By the way, I"m really wondering how models survive trips to shows like these. I'd probably be cringing through every little pothole i hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom G Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Wow what a fun day! Hats off to IPMS Hamilton and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. The models on display were inspiring. The F-4E, F4U Corsair, and F6F with folded wings in the pictures crackerjazz posted were built by ARC member Marvin20. Nice pictures by the way. The only group photo I am aware of is the one Lost_Erik posted. It’s him, Marvin20 and myself. We met at the Lancaster at noon. I was great to have it right in an aircraft museum. Well worth the trip. As far as packing models I had a plastic tote box with 2 inch foam on the bottom and then toothpicks to hold the models in place. All of the models arrived intact. BTW one of my models was a 1/72 Gemini spacecraft with astronaut on a tether (not the one in the photos, his was nicer). The astronaut must have had a wild ride shaking around on the wire but he arrived ok too. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi, Tom, thanks, I saw that Gemini! Nice model! I thought I'd posted it -- updated above. And thanks for the transporting tip. Marvin20 -- you're a weathering whiz! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ret Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi CJ , Great picks - thanks for sharing! It was a fun show and I certainly enjoyed myself - even without any medals this year - lol . I was finally able to pick up the Revell Vostok kit that I've been looking for, for years. Haven't built one of those since 1970. Thanks again - Ret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Nice pictures and some great builds. Is it always held at the CWH Museum around March 24ish? If so I may need to make the trip North next year with an armor build or two as its only about 5.5 hours from my area. Good stuff! Regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
