That's a salty lookin' bunch! Are you in the blue shirt, to the right of the portrait? And yes, it's a great tribute!

Thanks John. It was a great tribute collection.

Dang Stik! I didn't know you were involved in this! I saw it at Nats and that it was a great tribute.

Thanks Mike. Yes, it was a great concept and execution for a tribute. I love how the finished collection had a wide variety of subjects and scales. Certainly a bit different from most group entries. The common thread on the builds was the man who started them.

Re: Takom M3, Comrade General Lee
It was definitely one of the cooler group builds there.

Re: Takom M3, Comrade General Lee
That’s a mixture of guys from AZ AMPS and Phoenix IPMS who all did some build for the project. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to Nationals this year… that guy in the blue shirt to the right of the portrait is John Lewis, retired Marine Corps colonel and HMFIC of AZ AMPS.Gary Brantley wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 6:35 pm That's a salty lookin' bunch!

I think that ours had something of a sentimental aspect that most group entries never do. It was about a modeler, not a modeling subject.Medicman71 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 10:14 am It was definitely one of the cooler group builds there.
