After looking at the photos and the build documentation one quote comes to mind from Wayne and Garth, "I'm not worthy"! Truly a wonderful, skillful build. It deserves what ever awards it gleans. Thanks to all who have been posting photos for those of us non-attendees. Please keep posting and letting us know about the awards. daveculp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Some great models there! Thanks for the pictures. I can't see them here but they'll load when I open them in a new tab/window. Juraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveculp Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 For those having trouble viewing photos, I recommend this browser: https://dissenter.com/download It's free and runs on the 3 popular operating systems. One problem is that it is blocked by YouTube (they'll show you endless advertisements as retribution) . The solution is to use different browsers for different things, which you really ought to do anyway for security reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveculp Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Here's a photo from last night's awards event. They only physical awards given out here were for the special categories. Most of the contest winners were announced here, but the physical awards were placed next to the models at this time. When the awards event was over the contest room was re-opened and we all went there to pack up and collect our models/awards. -- Dave LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveculp Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Example award. They had a little problem with the glue at the bottom of the acrylic part. Is there a modeler in the house? LSP_K2 and Fanes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I was never aware that the Thunderbirds did a negative G, bomb-burst. I’ve witnessed the regular one but not a negative G version. I guess ya learn something new every day. Edited August 23, 2021 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthumbs Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) The 1/48 CH-54 Tarhe pictured earlier in this thread not only took first place in the “Scratch Built” category, but also was judged “Best Aircraft” and received the “George Lee Judges Grand Award.” Pictures of all the category winners here …click on the last album titled “winners.” Most, if not all, of the models entered are pictured in the specific category albums.
