If this Photobucket link works, you should see a collection of the things that caught my fancy at today's event. I stick to photographing the what ifs, of course, other unusual subjects, and the models we rarely see built up.

Wow. Great stuff there Rat ! Love all the sci-fi, whomever did the Star Wars fighters sure knows what they are doing. The Falcon almost being eaten is a good one as well. I love how big the LERX looks on the F-18 in that scheme.

I will proudly announce that yesterday in Ajax my son won First Place in his category (Juniors - Phantasy) and the Best Junior Model award for his Antigravity Racer (a modified vanship). This was his first whif so far.

That's excellent, not only the model, but the display and the fact that he won 1st place! Congratulations.

EXCELLENT!

We should meet up next year for a pic.

Thank you guys! The junior is pretty proud with the awards! Unfortunately teenage girls are not impressed by such achievements at all

"Kit", the display was roughly based on an old idea of mine to use some car-racing posters from the 30's. My son was pretty quick with the computer (what else?

) - in about 10 min. he photoshoped a plane-racing and a "Last exile" posters and produced his own vanship-racing advertisement.
"Rat" we probably already met, without knowing who is who.

For the next year we should coordinate who's going to visit the show.

Let's see if we can get Captain Canada and Rallymodeler up from Sarnia for Heritagecon. Group pic in front of, what else... their Canso!
