Air Cad-Con Model Show 2016 (Kitchener-Waterloo area) Ontario

I recently found out about the Air Cad-Con Model Show for this year.
Here's their facebook page: www.facebook.com/AirCadCon

This is the 5th model show...which I knew nothing about...for Air Cad-Con.

Cad-Con is put on by the 822 "Tutor" Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.
The Squadron permanent home is now a large building at the local Breslau Waterloo Airport.
I actually helped one day, years ago, with some of the cleanup, while the new building was being built for the cadets.
www.822tutor.ca

This is also where the Air Cad-Com Model Show is held.

I am hoping to attend the model show this year...I'm hoping to enter my set of 1/33 Tutor aircraft models.
I'm also considering entering the large scale Centurion and Little Willie Tanks.

Too bad I missed last years event...the theme was in honour of WW1.

The event is in October (16th) so, still plenty of time to plan.
Hopefully others in this area will consider taking part.
It would be great to see more paper models exhibited.

I'm also considering paying for a table as a Vendor.
I'll take a few more models for display...maybe sell some CDs and printed kits.

If anyone else is considering going to the show, and is planning on hanging around for the day,
maybe you would consider helping me out?
If I operate a Vendor table, as well as put models into the show, I could use a hand watching my stuff.
Get in touch with me, if you are thinking of going.

So its October 15 at Waterloo airport.

By then I will be relocated to Toronto and may consider attending.

Doesn't appear to be a very big event.
And its not associated with any specific modeling group.
I noticed there are no references to "plastic" anything.
Past event photos show ship builds...not usually plastic.
So, as far as I can see, its a "scale model" show.

But, I don't want to bring up "paper" in case they separate me into a different category.
I would prefer to enter my models in the subject categories.


The event appears to be put on by the Cadet Squadron.
...maybe as a fund raising thing?
Looks like they make a day out of it.
With food available and computer flight simulators set up.

Be nice to see other paper model friends there.

I'll definitely go, Dave. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Send me an e-mail if there is anything that I can do to help.

Well, I tell ya what.
I'm sure I can use a hand to man my Vendors table
when I have to go deal with my Models in the competition
or go for a pee
or whatever.

So, I invite any and all friends to come for the day,
bring a model and enter it in the competition,
and hang out at my table as much as you like.

I'll be arriving there somewhere between 8 and 9am to set up my vendor table.
Public doors open at 9am.

Sometime after 9am...and before Judging starts at 1pm...
the competition models have to registered and put out on the competition tables.

Gary...I hope to see you there!
I'll definitely be in touch closer to the event.

Isaac...you too.

Anyone else?
...if it turns out to be a fun event, maybe it could be a regular thing every year?

Just want to give this a bump.

I can confirm I have reserved a Vendor table at the event.
I will be selling Printed Kits (my own) and CD/DVD specials.
Along with promoting paper modeling.

Not sure how many models I will take (if any) for table display
since I am also bringing entries for the competition.
And since my models are all big scale stuff, its hard to pack and move a lot of models.


Hopefully more local modellers will attend/take part/come out and help?

Question On my radar

Still in a hotel in Toronto ( a month now ). My apartment will not be ready until the first week in October. All my stuff is packed and in storage, so not sure what will be accessible to bring with me.


Anyhow, its on my radar and depending on what's going on at work, I still plan to be there October 15th.

Isaac
