Not close to a suitable chapter here in AZ - the closest is the excellent PHX chapter which brought us some classic conventions in recent years, but is 150 miles away - but I hope there will be one close by that I can volunteer with when I move to CA in a couple of years.
Two Mid West conventions, within 2 hours drive of Chicago, in three years. You Chicago folks should be very pleased that it's easy for you to attend. 🙂
Hey, no-one started a "hey, where are all the convention photos?" thread yet.
Oh.........
😄
Have a fun time, guys! Don't forget to stop by the Phoenix Scale Publications stand, where David will have some delectable British treats.
I'll second Gil's suggestion - they have a wide range of types in the Quickbuild range. They also do some really nice starter sets of 'proper' models with paints and glue, for something a little more advanced.

Welcome, Mark!
The first is a Japanese Type 74 tank, mid-70s to 80s
Second is a Sherman Calliope - those are rocket launchers in the rack above the turret
Third is a British Churchill Crocodile tank - a flamethrower tank, where the trailer holds the inflammable liquid.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. The link in the e-mail works. The link that isn't there is on the voting page, right at the top where it says "Below is a summary of the 12 Amendments. We did not have space here to list all the changes, click on this link to read the entire Amendments with changes highlighted." That is the part that isn't working. I wish to read the full text before voting.
