Thanks Brian!! I was able to figure out what I needed. I'll be using colors from the AK line of paints that match the color guide well. Not ready to apply any paint yet, but I have them!!!

I recently started building Takom’s Krupp 420mm Howitzer (Big Bertha) and one of the schemes is for a gray, green and brown version. Im hoping someone can steer me towards which gray the German military used during WW I. It looks a bit like the early WWII gray seen on German Armor, but I don’t know. Any help you all could offer would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!!

Thanks Mike!! I’m sure a number of attendees will welcome such a list!! Doug

With no banquet being planned, will there be a listing of restaurants close to the facility, or within short driving distance? Looking forward to coming up to see you folks!! Doug

Another great event Gil!! Congrats to you and your team for putting together another fine show!! Doug

I booked my room before the Marriott block opened, as I'm a Marriott Rewards member. As the block hadn't opened yet, I couldn't reserve as part of the block. The room cost was only $5.00 a night difference, so the extra squag for my stay will be about $25.00. I couldn't wait the few days extra, and book in as part of the block. I had no problem getting my room, and was able to pick the type of room I wanted (King/Double)based on my desire rather than block availability. See everyone in Nooga!!!

Thanks!! I checked out their website, they have some really interesting markings available!! I'll be picking up some shortly!!

Looks good Dick!! I'm still working on mine. What issues did you find? What do I have to look forward to?

That looks great!! It looks good sitting on the carbon fiber!! Where did you get the decals? I recently picked up the kit, but need new markings!!

Hey Gil, As always, a great event!!! I had a blast!!

Nice job. I also have some of the Gravity line. I was told they were prethinned, only to find out more thinner is needed to be able to shoot them through an airbrush. Once I properly thinnef them, they work nicely. Just don't shoot the clear coat over enamel. It's way too hot!!!

Nice job!! I've always loved this AC!!

Hey Al, I heard you guys had another great show this year. Wish I could have made it. Maybe next year!! Give my best to the rest of the club!! Doug

I'll be driving up from Florida this time and am looking forward to another awesome event!!

Contests where "home cooking" is the norm, and qualified National judges are turned away. Phamtom categories that aren't posted on the event flyer, but are always won by the local sponsoring it. Best in Show is awarded to a model that doesn't win it's category. I witnessed all these things at a local show, that will remain nameless.

I've made it a habit of photgraphing my models when competed, then when it starts looking long in the tooth, stripping the weapons, interiors, and other useful parts, then waste-canning the rest. I've found about 10-15 years shelf life is about all they'll last. It sucks to toss out all that work, but it keeps my display case filled with good looking stuff, and making room for the newer, better built things. Doug

Nice work Al!!!

Ah, Auto World!! I still have an old catalog in my archives!!! What great memories!!. Doug

Very nice work!!!

Good choices everyone!! The Ott light is a winner!! And I woiuld a to stay away from Halogen lights.They put out way too much heat. I melted a model once, an won't be doing that again, any time soon!! Doug

Outstanding job Chris!!!! The uniforms look great. I like the fence too!! It must have been difficult for a Georgia boy to paint Yankees!!! LOL!!! Doug

Very nice job!! Who produced the bust?

If you think everything looks good in the photos, you should have seen it in person!! Great work, everyone that entered!! Ham

Brian, you sould have called me!! I would have gladly given up my room for one with a jacuzzi and other extras!!!! I didn't know they had rooms like that in Schoharie!!! LOL!! Glad to hear you had a good time. I judges some of your cars, and they were very well done. Hope to see more of you in the future. Semper Fi Doug
