PICS from the Shutterbug show held yesterday in Portland, IN. I originally taken about 210 pics, but somehow, I lost about 30 of them. Here are 180 pics. There were 390 something entries. .......... *PICS* .....
Great group of builds, including what appear to be nice versions of the Lindberg Firebird Sportwagon and Monogram (custom) Trans Am Street Machine *NM*
Those were awesome builds. He is a professional auto painter. He usually enters 25 to 40 models in a show and always places first, second or third roughly 15 to 20 times at each show. Saturday, he got 25 first, second, third plaques, 3 trophys and best in show. *NM*
Nice photos! What kit is the Selden Patent Car? *NM*
Mod-Ac. Wood with plastic wheels and "engine." From about 1947 or '48. *NM*

Ford lost the initial lawsuit, won it on appeal. By then the patent only had a year or so left, it was due to expire in 1912 *NM*
Where IP law was something of a backwater in the day, now it is hotly contested, particularly in the realm of digital and medical *NM*
Thanks, thought it was that one by the box design since have 1 or 2 of their other kits I managed to find years ago. *NM*
Great pics. Thanks for sharing! *NM*
Is the glittery Firebird the Revell kit? *NM*
Scott, a great selection of pics of all genres, you really give a feeling of being there & checking out all the classes...thanks. *NM*
Forums like this often have some O/T posts, but car shows aren't one of them. It's easy to avoid idiots and trolls. *NM*
Wow, what a great assortment of cool models! I really love that pink and white '55 Ford, and so many others, great show! *NM*
To me, the '55 & '56 Ford Vickys are every bit as good looking as the same year Chevrolets. *NM*
The last year they could be termed simple and elegant, really...
Thank you Scott!! *NM*
Awesome pics of an awesome show! That pink and black '58 Chevy is stunning! And CONGRATS on your award!! *NM*
I'm kinda partial to that 'John Deere' tractor, myself! *NM*
Thanks for the pics, Scott.... That four engine pulling tractor is just, WOW!!!!! *NM*
Amazing display of talent and imagination. Here is something you do not see every day... *PIC*
