Thanks Joe! It really does make me feel great! I appreciate the compliments on my work.

Thanks Floki!

Thanks Medic! You're right! I always go into a model contest telling everyone I'm "locked for Fifth Place" in all my categories; even when there's only three other contenders. LOL! When I actually place, it is a stupendous surprise. So many other people are so much more masterful with their builds that when one of mine actually places, it is a stunning surprise. I have so much fun building and showing my work. placing is just icing on the cake.

Thanks Bruce! I do hope you can make it to Valleycon in Pasadena to see these in person. I intend to being them all again, including any I might finish this month.

Third Place 1/72 scale Tracked:



Third place 1/72 scale Wheeled:



This was a tremendous surprise given the quality of the models on the contest tables.

Thanks for looking in.

After looking at these two in person last night at AMPS, all I can say is: 1, the awards are most well earned and deserved; 2, the photos do not do these two kits true justice in showing them off; 3, that Nagmachon (or however you spell it) is a fantastic little build!

Very well done Mark!

Thank you Carlos! I am honored beyond words. I have plans to take them both to Valleycon, along with anything else I can finish before the show.

Well, it's been awhile since anyone opened this Trophy Case and dusted off these models here. I took care of that while I was making a small amount of room for my latest win in San Diego this past Saturday.

That is my 1/72 scale Horizon Models Mercury Redstone rocket. Wow, that felt so awesome, especially considering the literal flood of Masterful models entered this year!

Way to go, Mark!

Bravo Mark! That Mercury Redstone is A OK! The award is well deserved.

Congratulations!

Well done, Mark!
