Sure wish I could attend. Just retired two weeks ago to North Carolina from NYC and finding waaay too many things to do already that I can't break away from right now.

Did you see me as I went by Carlisle on rt 81? I waved as I went by.

Hope you have a great show, please post pictures of the event. Thanks!!!

Linda Kemp, Kevin Stephens, John Dell

Images 1-5: Linda Kemp's display. Although Linda (an Army Signal Corps and Field Artillery veteran) build non-military models, since the theme was Tanks! she brought her "Fish Tank" as well as a British-Belgian WWI trench scene.

Images 6-10: Kevin Stephens definitely was in tune with the theme, beginning with his WWI toy collection and including his show-stopping Dragon Wagon (M25 Tank Transporter consisting of an M26 tractor and M15 trailer). You can smell the grease! His Komatsu excavator was built for a previous International Paper Modelers' Convention for which the theme was non-military tracked vehicles. Visitors refused to believe it was not made of plastic.

Images 11-12: John Dell brought his USAAF WWII 1/48 and 1/72 heavy bomber fleet, including Miss Lace, a Navy PB4Y Liberator, the aircraft flown to the Philippines by Captain Colin Kelly (in 1/48) and (in 1/72) the same aircraft captured by the Japanese, another 1/72 B-17 captured by the Japanese on Java, a 1/72 Fortress I (WP-D) of 90 Squadron RAF, and others.

More later,

Don

Roger Griffith, Don Weeks, Lil Boose, Anne and Jack McCombs

First, Images 1-2: A few more of John Dell's bombers, including B-24J-190-CO 44-40973 of the 43rd Bomb Group in Ie-shima in 1945 with the colorful nose art painted by Staff Sergeant Sarkis E. Bartigan.

Images 3-5: Roger Griffith with his spectacular 2001: A Space Odyssey models and the Panther work-in-progress that he brought to our 1 April event and to this "Tanks!" themed Army Heritage Days. Roger is eating one of the donuts he brought us on the first morning of the event - paper models and sticky donuts. Hmmmm.

Image 6: Don Weeks takes a close look at a model shown to him by Linda Kemp. Anne and Jack McCombs on the left.

Images 7-11: Don Weeks's display, starting with his Warhammer models - very popular with the visitors - and his meticulously crafted armor vehicles.

Image 12: Lil Boose's Canon Creative animals.

Images 13-15: Anne and Jack McCombs. Anne, whose day job is restoring aircraft at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center, likes to relax with non-military and non-aviation models (she put Lil onto the Canon Creative creatures). But she does build airplanes from time to time, as exemplified by the FG Curtiss SB2C Helldiver (a model of one of the aircraft she has worked on) and the 1/100 Fouga Magister that was recently the subject of a saga in Bruno's thread in this Forum.

And she does tanks: see the GPM Sherman under construction and the Russian Reno in bilious green and eggplant purple that was attacked by a bird at last year's event.

More later,

Don

Great photos Don! Thank you for posting.

It looks like a great event once again.

Someday will make it to Carlisle.

I didn't take any pictures, since Don and others ably filled that role. But I had a good time, and will offer a few remarks. Our new location was much less cramped than the corridor of previous years, though it might have brought us a little less traffic since visitors had to deliberately enter the room. It was an extremely well behaved crowd, with very conscientious parents reminding their children "Don't touch!" which we all appreciated. (I had one simple automaton of a cat popping out of a box that I encouraged visitors to play with). Common comments included "I never knew this was a thing!" and "Are you selling these?"

I saw very little of the rest of the event, but I did enjoy seeing the demonstration of seven tanks and tracked vehicles negotiating the tank course. I wish I'd had time for more than a quick walkthrough of the museum's new World War I gallery, but what I saw looked excellent. The nearby cafe met our lunch needs nicely -- there was a food truck court as well, but it was far enough that I chose to skip the walk. Weather was overcast, cool, and sometimes damp, which was better than the rain we encountered last year. The staff gave our group the support we needed.

All in all, a successful event!
