So this week I attended our local show up in Ogden, just a short trip this time.

I took a picture of everything at the show but the lighting seemed pretty bad this year and I had a bunch of fuzzy shots.

So, here is what was left.

Some nice large planes.





My buddy Sean had some nice 72nd scale vehicles including this one:



And some Sci-fi pieces including:



I also liked this F-16 dio even though Sean pointed out some inaccuracies with how the ground equipment was in use but he worked on the real thing so he ought to know.



What ifs were pretty light but did see these 3.








And this one is a work in progress.



All in all a decent little show.  211 entrants and probably 240 models on the table.  Got a chance to chat with a few guys and this time, only bought one kit in the vendors area though there were some pretty good deals going on.

Rest of the pics are here:

Blimey Phil, you WERE busy taking all that lot, I'm surprised you had enough time to see any vendors!  :o

The B-24 down in the desert looks particularly good, as if it's a build of a real life event in WWII.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks ! Great looking set. Love to see big bombers in plastic form ! If I'd had a few extra dollars yesterday I could have snagged an Academy B-50D for $40.....

Anyway...love the tank carrier too. What an awesome job for such a small scale. Wicked !

As usual ( lately ) the link isn't working for me  :banghead: Must be somat wrong on my end.
