Any of you Texans going to San Marcos to attend the IPMS (NATS) convention? Don (DONIVANP) is considering going, as I am as well. Would be a hoot to do a meet-up with fellow forum members.

Now to the fun stuff, there were many seminars and other venders including the new Squadron which as a room all to themselves, I did get to meet Braden. but with limited battery to the ol iPhone I did what I could.
Lets start with this 1/32 Me 323 with a 1/35 Puma. It was the first thing you saw coming in the display exabit....
And on with the show highlights.
This B-17 gas station is incredible, well I liked it...

Wow that is something right there. A turning display stand ( 12 dollars) would do the world for those fine models.
Thank you for posting this little insight.

It was really a great experience to enjoy admiring such a fabulous amount of great models in display!!
How many models or books did you bring home with you? As always (in my case) there's not enough money or space in the cars trunk...
