About 15 minutes away so why not eh? Lots of good stuff and tons of vendors, but you know what caught my eye, right? There weren't a lot of whiffs but I took these pics of all of them.

This was built by a fellow named Sylvain Parent, he was with a group of guys who called themselves The French Connection, had jackets as well with the name on them! They probably came in from Montreal but I forgot to ask.

Here's the story he wrote up

It comes with its own maintenance shop!

Skis instead of wheels

Jean-Marc Perrault was here again, his work is always impressive. This was his magnetic motorcycle

And some kind of cute little sled

A Japanese ornithopter was submitted by John Robinson, IPMS Toronto

Didn't get the name or details on this one, some kind of concept motorcycle

Love the ornithopter and the stealth is interesting.

The motorcycle is a resin kit from the original Tron movie (called a light cycle).

Did you get pics of any of the other entries?

Just the whiffs, I was pressed for time. But I have no doubt that more comprehensive coverage will show up on ARC or HS soon.
