Great pics Tuna. Seems the standard was very high all over. One thing was evident ... there was lots of unusual subjects. I really likes seeing these. Thanks for sharing. These shows are a great way of seeing the standard as to what is happeneing, and seeing them up close is even better. Loved the bridge-layer. Wonder was that a kit conversion or scratched??

Moderator/Staff Note:
Congratulations to Armorama members Al (AJLaFleche), Kevin (kkeefe) for their award winning models. I apologize to any other Armorama member that won a trophy whom I failed to mention. Please bring it to my attention and I will add your name to this post.

On behalf of the Armorama Staff and as a member of the sponsoring IPMS Patriot chapter, I want to say thanks to all the Armorama members who attended and special thanks to the ones who entered a kit into the contest.

PlasticBattle - I'm very sure that the display card said that it was scratched from plywood.

Congrats everyone! Can someone create a gallery with the Armorama member entries? I am anxious to see what you guys evidently stole the show with. Failing that, a post that referenced the numbers of the pics in Tuna's gallery with who made what, if that would be easier.

Thanks in advance and congratulations again,

Shaun

Well Shaun, the M901 is mine....I know that it's hard to believe but, I do/did build something other than mortars. #:-)

In case you might want to know the details...

It is the Italeri kit with the Verlinden TOW set. Slightly modified DML figures. I replaced all the molded on tie-downs with PE from Yoshida. Tamiya partial interior and tracks. Scrachbuilt the GL guards. Replaced the center 'tube' going up to the launcher with heated/bent styrene rod wrapped in fine solder. Paints are (for the most part) PollyS/Scale.

I built this kit about 2.5 years ago and this was my first competition is roughly 5 years, and very surprisingly, it took a 3rd yesterday. As you can see in the photos, there were lots of armor entries.

Congratulations to all of you guys who attended, and submitted. Congratulations especially to you forks who won. Looks like there were a lot of great stuff there. I also like the fact several were lesser known vehicles.

Does anybody know about the Panther with the white US stars on it? I was wondering if this was supposed to be one of the Panthers that were made to resemble US tank destroyers for the Battle of the Bulge?

I helped judge that category...that Panther was said to represent a Panther captured by the Brits and used for evaluation, hence the oversized star.
