Looks like a good show, from the kits to the venue. :+1:

It was a fun show. It was fun to meet up with other modellers.

Thank you for sharing all of the photos. The John Deere hay baling diorama brings back a lot of childhood memories from life on the ranch. :slight_smile:

From what I understand, alot of that display was scratch built.

I went to the “Hope It Don’t Snow Show” yesterday . . . a last-minute tag-along. (My wife decided that she needed to get some things done, so she ‘encouraged’ me to take the trip down to Rochester.) I snagged a few pictures of some models that caught my eye, so I thought I’d share them here.

Here is a SKIF (SKIF!!) T-55 with an interior — apparently built straight from the box. I had no idea SKIF did any interior kits!

I thought this M18 GMC was very nicely done. I regret that I didn’t take more than one picture of this.

This is a small vignette with a Tamiya M8 Armored Car. Again, great finish and presentation here.

This is the AFV Club NM-116. In the 1970s, the Norwegians upgraded some of their M24 Chaffee Light Tanks with a French 90mm gun, new fire control system, and a new Detroit Diesel 6V-53T engine (among other modifications) to give the vehicle a new lease on life. The NM-116s served in the Royal Norwegian Army until the early to mid-1990s, filling in as light tank destroyers and reconnaissance vehicles. There is an interesting Minnesota connection for this vehicle: the firm NAPCO, of Hopkins, Minnesota, received the license to market these same modifications to other nations.

Our own Dan Reed brought home — silver? (please correct me if I’m wrong, Dan) — for his rendition of a field-modified MT-LB. Congratulations on being recognized for your great work Dan . . .
