My home state's IPMS show March 9th 2019. Always a great contest with many vendors. Named after Roscoe Turner who had worked with Howard Hughes on many projects and was just as crazy too.
If anyone is in the Indiana area it's worth the trip.

IPMS Roscoe Turner 2019
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear

Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Sounds like a good time. And Mr Turner, well he sounds like a good one. I suppose the difference between crazy and eccentric is the level of success and genius involved.

That looks like a load of fun. I wish I could go but the commute is a real bear! Be sure to post pics of this afterward so we can all live vicariously through you. Thanks also for the small history too.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
