Anne McCombs exhibit
Anne McComb is not only a friendly and gregarious member of the group, se's also very talented. She provided the first booth after Pete's, just after the Alan Rose Tribute exhibit.
Anne organized a visit to the Space Shuttle a couple of conventions back for members (no...I didn't get to go...) & likes to promote cordiality amongst members and visitors. Her build skills are equally impressive.
Pic 1 illustrates some buildings that she completed. If you look close, you can see an unfinished tank that she is working on, behind the church. What makes these building kits unique, she shared, is that they were some of her oldest works, and now over 50 years old!
In the next pic, she exhibited a variety of other kits (see pic 2); a spaceship and two airplanes, a sphinx, a couple of matchbox cars, a pyramid, and a couple of other buildings (all build for IPMCs). Note how tightly the kits were built, with no visible separation of seems and no incomplete edges. Note also the matchbox car container, next t the paper matchbox car, which she attributes to AirDave's valuable nostolgia design.
Her recently completed, for this convention, her self-described magnum opus, which was an exquisitely detailed Sherman tank; complete with field tools, gas tanks, & an antenna (see pic 3). She was most proud on this work (deservedly so) and shared that she had made effort to have it ready for this exhibit.
She is very open to share her build tips and suggestions, with a small payment of Burger King (no endorsement for this disclosure...Yet!).
