Post by: Scooterman on January 10, 2012, 10:49:36 AM
First up, Modelfiesta 31 in San Antonio, Feb 18.
http://alamosquadron.com/modelfiesta-31.htm (http://alamosquadron.com/modelfiesta-31.htm)

Next will be my home show, Scalefest 2012, May 19th.
(details soon)

October 6 will be in Austin, and no dates yet for IPMS Ft. Worth.

(my edit-Scalefest is the 19th not the 12th)

I don't think I can make San Antonio as we're going to be hip-deep in a high-profile mod program by then and I may be needed on the weekend.  The others sound like ones I "should" be able to make.

Being square is all too easy when you spend most of your working day in a cubicle. :D

I like the Fw-190 on the front page.  I also like the Buck Rogers fighter - what scale/brand?

Roll call!

Who's going to be at Scalefest this weekend? And more importantly, who's gonna be the Squadron Open House?

I'll be at the Squadron Open House tomorrow afternoon. I'll be the one making fun of Scooterman as he holds that big 1/72 Cock kit. Because we all know how much lusts after that Cock.

I will be set up next to the What-If tables at the show. I'll have three new builds for the display table- my Ki-44/Ki-84 kitbash, the Bf 110 floatplane, and the RAF antiflash Stratojet.

Rotorhead's kids. Those British UAVs based on the Firebee were especially lustworthy. Tony's Luftwaffe Shoki I first saw 2 years ago when he brought it to Scalefest inspired me to build my own German Shoki. But I realized he had Fw 190 bits on it. Brilliant. Still brilliant. Mine is a Ki-44 Shoki/Ki-84 Hayate hybrid in Luftwaffe markings. With a big supercharger in the belly. I'll post pics later.

Another view of Tony's spawn. Like I said, those British UAVs are lustworthy.

Ahhhh, hell, I'd take all of Tony's birds and go do nasty things with them in a dark room. At the last show this JASDF Tigercat was unfinished.

Scoot's Guardrail Jetstream was nicely executed. I now have the urge to Guardrail several kits in the stash.

Some of the Texas Whiffers with our honorary guest from the UK......

(http://www.airlinebuzz.com/chickenworks/Random/Scalefest2012_28.jpg)

I had arrived to set up my tables before Brad and Phil got there and I was specifically instructed by the IPMS guys in charge to keep Brad in line. It's a lousy job, but I took one for the team and stepped up to the plate and kept him from teabagging several folks.

Since JP didn't mention it, the Whiffer on the left is non other than Uber engineer Evan Mayerle.  I think everybody else is known.

I'm afraid I didn't make it; I had too many other things occupying my attention and time today.
