Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
Congratulations there Mark! I remember that Saturn rocket from a year or so back. The Dora has always interested me (although I'll never build one due to the intensity) because they were so massive! There's just something about a gun that big that commands respect. Your wins are certainly well deserved good buddy.

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
Thanks Joe! I appreciate the kind words. I also am thrilled with Dora. I remember being a kid and seeing a picture of that model in a book and saying to my friend: "I want a model of that in 1/72 scale!". Little did I know then what that would entail or how freakin' big that beast is! Still, I feel good that I was able to fulfill a wild childhood dream!
I also always wanted the Saturn V in 1/72 scale and that's why I never built one before this. I always knew about the 1/96 scale Rocket from Revell, but I just couldn't quite pull the trigger on it. I was just about to give in and buy it when Dragon announced their Saturn V in 1/72 scale so I waited; saved my scratch and bought one first chance I could. Now if I could only finish that 1/72 scale Space Shuttle with Boosters to put next to it!
Thanks again Joe! I'm always glad to see your posts.

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
Mark I'm looking forward to that Shuttle build. The two together will make an awesome display!

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
Thanks Carlos! I've certainly got to give myself a swift kick in the tail and get moving on that. It keeps staring at me accusingly every time I walk in the Hobby Room. Maybe I'll bring ti to a Hobby Day and start masking it off there....

Now that sounds like a good plan. And planning is half of the battle...

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
Indeed. It won't be this Hobby Day weekend due to my bringing my entire collection of small scale vehicles in. I won't have room for something so large. As it is, I'll be bringing ten long, flat tubs of models in addition to at least three other containers. Still, I should be getting to it sooner than later.

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
That is some great work! Congratulations.

Re: Do we have a Trophy Case?
For the first time in over a year, I've come home with a trophy to share.
Here is my Third Place award from the Phoenix Nationals in "1/72 scale Single Engine Jets >8" Out of the Box":
Feels great to place again, especially at a Nationals!
