Anybody planning on attending the Nationals in KC MO and if so, will you be entering/displaying anything.
I'm undecided, either Revel's Merkava III/Warrior or Dragon's M2A2 Bradley w/ERA

If you're close enough, by all means go and enter the event. If nothing else, to say you did it. There area always a ton of vendors and plenty to see and do and people to meet. I went to Phoenix in 04 and had the pleasure of meeting our own Jim "Gun Truck" Lewis.

Actually Al, the pleasure was all mine in meeting you. The very best thing about going to the IPMS/USA National Convention is meeting and greeting distant friends.

I have some outside hopes of making it to KC this year, but '07 in Los Angeles is my target for sure. I think that's going to be a big show and a load of fun too!

I'm there, dude! Just three hours southwest of KC and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'm not going to enter anything, but instead am looking forward to meeting some old friends and new friends while I'm there!

I look forward to meeting you there Kevin. Not to change the subject but, what part of Nebraska are you from. My former supervisor is from Nebraska-small town NE from Lincoln, about an hour and was transfered to Omaha recently

Nope, although I did live there for about a dozen years. I'm currently living in my hometown of Independence. Et tu?

Hello Everyone,
I will definately be there. This will be my second one, Atlanta being the first. I will be working with a friend of mine at his Vendor table. Stop by and say howdy! and introduce yourselves. Look for the Horner's Hobbies tables. We will definately have alot of good stuff at good prices. Hope to see you all there and put some faces to the names!

Best Wishes,
Walter

There are a bunch of us from KC that will be there (many of them are volunteering). I am planning to volunteer myself assuming I can clear the time with work. Not sure if I am going to have anything to bring at this time though.
