• This Saturday Frank and I made the drive out to central Iowa, for the Mid Iowa Modelers Expo NNL, in Grimes (IA)... *PICS_ *LINK*
  • Thanks for sharing! Elliot Hamm's builds are fantastic ('29 Model A coupe and '41 Willys coupe)....especially considering that he is 16 years young! He did an amazing job building my resin '41 Willys coupe body and adapting it to the older Revell Willys kit! PIC
    • Yes. I first met Elliott at our Spring KKIM meet, this past March. His modeling skills along with his knowledge about traditional hot rods, customs, and 60s drag cars is indeed very impressive.
  • Looks like a very successful event...thx for sharing. If this is an NNL event, the entry forms should include the builder's name. As non-competitive events, NNLs are primarily about friendship and modeling fun, and we always had participants list their names so if...
    • Hello TB your absolutely right I ran into Kevin, that I met in Toledo when we went out for dinner at one of the last NNL Toledo... I miss our get togethers and I haven't been to Detroit in since COVID where we would talk. *NM*
  • So many cool builds! That 1/8 scale Duece Lakester is way cool. The cartoon Dodge Daytona made me laugh (in a good way). *NM*
  • It was a good time. I believe there were 230ish entries. High quality stuff! *NM*
    • The number that I heard was 246 entries, by 39 Modelers ... And it was great to get to chat with you, Tom, even if it was only very briefly. *NM*
      • Dyslexia alert!!!!! THAT SHOULD SAY 426 ENTRIES!!!! *NM*
        • Wow.... I need to just give up.... 246 was right, but my brain keeps scrambling the numbers. *NM*
      • 246 entries is a good number. Forgot what the MCMA gets for our Showdown every ye3ar (usually just below 200, IIRC), but I know the HAMS show down near Houston last weekend saw 195 (I counted them...). *NM*
