Awards for Plastic Surgeons (and that OTHER guy from somewhere down south.)
Ross Petra. Roscoe converted a 1/35 Italeri Crusader III to a Crusader I, building an Allied subject. I am sure his spotless build would have been awarded if judges had split armor in to Allied and Axis.
Jimmy Lotz:
Her also won a second place for his 1/35 MBT Revolution model.
Nate Stevens:
Dominating the 1/48 Aircraft (large) category, Nate's Monogram B-17G Flying Fortress bring home a First place award! His Hasegawa 1/72 G3M Nell and Me-109E-4 are winner too!
Then that "Other Guy". Terry Barrow.
I thought the 1/35 M-26 Pershing was Terry's model too. I could have been mistaken.
What did I win?
Well, the fun and satisfaction of another fine day out with some of my favorite people. Fair winds and following Seas to and from Omaha. My Runza receptors are satisfied for about 3 more months. Appreciation for the awards of others. Lots of things!
Teresa didn't "Harvest" the Fort Crook raffle, but she did her usual good job and we had a good time together.
I entered my Dad's former 1/72 Hasegawa P-51D Mustang from 1998, Chibi Godzilla and I took 1/700 Corsair on her rushed up base with St. David's lighthouse.
As a couple in model judging, We got skunked. So in keeping with Plastic Surgeon tradition, established LONG ago in Kansas City, We had us a "BOO-HOO" on Aimee's shoulder. We lacked the customary parking ramp for appropriate reverve, but tradition was preserved!
Quotable Quotes from the Road.
"Lookee here. Here comes a sign that says something on it!"
"Don't say that while I'm eating my breakfast."
"Wuht. Your breakfast doesn't even slightly resemble dog vagina, fried or otherwise."
"Last week you couldn't spell 'Modeler'. Now You IS one!"
"......and now, Tanks." "You're welcome!"
We found out that all customers wearing "Plastic Surgeon" shirts all get the VIP discount at Runza! Calling that a win!
We encountered Submarine Vet Jon Howery at the closed gates of Freedom Park. We learned that USS Hazard AM-240 and USS Marlin SST-2 are back in business from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM every Saturday and that admission is free! I donated all my cash to the Freedom Park museum at that time!
See, the Omaha city council was trying to declare the riverfront museum property condemned after the 2017 flood, so they could expand their, overpriced, crappy marina site. They were trying to have USS Hazard and USS Marlin scrapped. Take THAT Bureaucrats!!
