It’s going to be cold Saturday. Deer season is all but over and the crappie have not started running yet. Perfect timing for a scale model contest at the Museum of the American G.I. In College Station, Tx!!!!

Come see the finest military scale modelers in Texas compete for the grand prize… the golden Xacto!

We are talking about works of art like this…..

Is that your model? That’s an amazing piece of work.

Thanks for posting these events, wish I could make it but too much going on this weekend.

No. This is not mine. This was one of the dioramas on display at Model Fiesta a week ago. I am sure he will bring it to Winterblitz. It’s a first rate build. I do okay, but I do not have the concentration for a big diorama like this.

This is one of mine… scrambling to finish before Saturday. Represents a WW1 moment. Still have to do a few things to it like attach figures.

Gotcha, it really is an amazing build, the detail is unbelievable.

My ADHD prevents me from taking in a task like that. I want to build a HMMWV model of the one I drove in Iraq, but just haven’t jump in to do it yet.

I would agree… the level of detail is first rate . The real impressive thing is the concentration it takes to build sone thing epic like that. Go for your HMMWV build.. can’t be too hard. Is there a kit (I don’t do a lot of modern stuff).

Last estimate suggests that will have over 200 models in the contest!

Great detail work, amazing talent to do that.

The skill level that the these guys bring are incredible. We are expecting to have between 175 and 250 entries Saturday…. Not one will be bad. Some will be more involved than others. There will be a lot of individual tanks and armor (not dioramas).
