Thank you Dave, Rob, and the other Jersey Boys

#1 Post by Jon LeGrand »

I want to thank Dave for inviting me to Jerseyfest, It was a great experience and all the people running the show were awesome. I hope someday I will be able to visit again, but next time, I won't try to drive home without stopping! Haha, that was crazy. :)
It is amazing that something that started in Dave's basement became such an incredible event! Kudos to everyone who makes it happen every year!
I received a lot of kind comments about the pieces I brought for the exhibit, it was an honor to be a part of it. I tried to get a photo for those of you who could not make it, it is a couple views where I tried to show what I brought, mine was everything to the right of that cool King Ghidorah and all the way to the end.

Anyway, I will never forget this experience and the wonderful people I met. I sure wish I could have other model builders who live close to me so I could learn and grow along with others like there on the East Coast.
I have been working on one of my new acquisitions from the Con which is a Mark Van Tine King Kong from Alternative Images with the serpent, I will post pictures in the appropriate forum when it is finished.
Thank you again Dave!

Jon, you are hardcore and I love it !!! We are the ones who need to say thank you. You're buildups are fantastic and were one of the highlights of the show. To see your work in person is so impressive, and to have so much of it on display was literally jaw dropping.

Also thanks to my good friend Robert Troch, Matt Evangelista, Ed, and all the others who contributed to the Kaiju exhibit.

As always, looking forward to seeing more of your buildups and videos in the future Jon !!! I vote to bring back the "Jon LeGrand" song for old times sake !! :mrgreen:

Haha Thanks Dave! :D And yes, those other buildups were great to see, as well as my friend Bill (godzillabadger) who added to the exhibit too. I am really glad I could be a part of such a great event!

That made for quite the display.

Definitely what I am sure Dave had in mind when it all began.
Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.

If you want to see what i do for fun take a click, It may be disturbing.

Definitely a sight such as I had never seen before. That many well done Kaiju kits together like that was a first. So much eye candy! Thanks to everyone for making it happen.
