LOL! I guess they do too. I was expecting a bit more hair on him though...

Adam! Yes, that is his name! What a great guy he is! I do recall that he said at the Nationals that it may be some time before he can return to the Forms, but I don't recall why. Hopefully he does come back soon.

Okay, here's my Photobucket Albums of the pics I took at the Nationals. First one is all the general models (mostly ships it seems):

This Album is all Braille Scale armor for those who wish to check it out. If not, don't click on it! LOL!

I make it a point to take all the pics of small scale armor because whenever anyone else shoots at shows like this; they invariably only post pics of 1/35th scale armor and almost never the small scale stuff unless it's some magnificent model beyond the pale.

Anyway, these are all I have. I wanted to get more, but I spent three IPMS days with my seven nephews. This truly defines "herding cats" trying to keep up with all of them.

Enjoy!

Awesome pics Manny! Your other models look so fantastic as well; you certainly deserved every award.

Looks like I missed one helluva party too! You guys rock!

:hmm: I think Fermis found his entertainment on the Pirates of the Caribbean set... :giggles:
