Model Car Sunday 2013

May 5th 2013 was Model Car Sunday at the Puyallup Elks Club. The number of venders was down this year but there were 298 entries in the contest. I didn't win any models at the raffle and didn't buy any from the venders. I thought that most of the venders were over priced and the ones that were Ok on their prices didn't have anything I didn't have or wanted. So that's life in the fast lane. The next one will be better. I did meet two fellow members there but will post that in the meet up section.

I entered 8 models and won one 3rd place ribbon. The 1950 Oldsmobile won it. The quality of the models was very high. When I looked around at the models I thought "you will be lucky to get win anything today."

Here are some of the builds form the some.















There were three members from this forum at the show brizio, it'sonlyakit and myself. between the three of us we took 13 awards:

brizio-9

it'sonlyakit-3

zbuckster-1

The slideshow thing is new to me so let me know how you like it if you try it out.

Hey, congratulations to you all. It was a pretty good weekend for those of us on this forum.

Sorry forgot the picture of the Olds and it's ribbon.

Great show as usual! Well wort the drive.

I had to fix two models before register for the show, we saw the two speed bumps a the entrance, too late, and the box with the models flip on one side... :( But luckily it was all fixable there... :)

Other than that the show was like Buck said, fun. I didn't bought any kit either, right now I'm not building too much, you know the ups and downs of the hobby...

I was lucky that they called my raffle ticket number, but I gave my raffle ticket to a little kid (3/4year old). After a wile the kid and his father came where I was sitting for telling me "thank you", and the kit bowed his head too! I never seen so much respect and appreciation from a kid. Glad to gave him the ticket, and glad to see that there are still parents that teach and kid that learn, also was nice to see a little kit that build models!

I didn't know you gave your ticket away. That is awesome. Nice seeing you there.

That's Great Briz! Can't wait to see you start building again. Congrats to all members there on the awards won! Buck, the Olds is top shelf and don't let yourself be fooled! You are an amazing builder! They jus' don't appreciate fine art. ;) I love that Dance Stand thing. That made me laugh. 8)

I am so happy the hobby is doing well out on the evergreen coast. I'll check out the fotos soon, they will be worth a careful study. Thanx for keeping the model world so well covered!

Great photos Buck, thanks for posting.

Congratulations guys on all the wins and places.

Briz...... you old softie you!!! Well done, that was real nice of you!

Congrats to the members for there awards. And thanks for the pics, Buck

Thanks all! :)

@Tumbler, sure I will build again... :) For that reason I went to the show, for have a full model day and talk with people about the hobby.

Is that Brizio's unicycle ???
It should have won everything ijn the house !!!
Going to look at the rest of the fotos now. Thanks for bringing the show to us, Buck.

Of all those cool models, the image sticking in my head is that simple Chevy truck squatting under a load of watermelons.
What a cool idea and effect !

Wow I'm with geezer that thing is awesome

Not only that the watermelons are all scratch built. :lol!:

I would have guessed, Jelly Bellys

No they were bigger than jelly beans. Some type of Plaster that was formed, cured in the oven and painted.
