WhOaAa!!!!!!!!!!!! First off Jon, Thank You for an outstanding look at your corner of WF '19!

Being so far away in CA I have never been able to attend one of these. I would love to be able to display my (few) works like you did, just to have the enjoyment of participating. I went to a few modeling IPMS events around here back in '07, but it was 99% vehicles and ships, which (Yamato aside) isn't 'my thing'.

32 entries - for sale too (!?!)

As an aside, Jon, I am lucky if I build 4 kits in a YEAR!

I know producers use it as an opportunity to debut new kits ... like those Harryhausen busts you got - who makes those? Got a link?

How long does it take you to drive there and back?

It is about an 8 hour drive one way for me, 7 if I did not stop at all. Better than WF which is almost 12 hours or Jerseyfest which was about 25 hours!
You can find the busts here:

I did have like 5 of the 32 kits for sale at the table, but only one of them sold, to Bob Eggleton! I did sell a few things not in the contest, including my Billiken Ultraman vs Bemular diorama and the Always Godzilla diorama. Sill have a lot I want to sell but most would not ship too easily so I was hoping to sell them at the convention.
