Thanks for keeping us in suspense :(

Very cool...well, actually, more like incredible!...and is that like the Panther section? (guessing because two other Panthers are in the background)

Hi RC,

The two panthers in the background are on one diorama, by Rhodes Williams. I didn't take pics I guess because I had seen it before.

So, to continue with the show.

The new convention center here in Anaheim(home of Disneyland) is really nice, and it's huge. Of course, I parked at the opposite end :( :lol: .

Excellent pics Larry!

RC

[James Tainton]

Excellent account from our own roving reporter!
Ther must be more pics though.... ;)

[Grenadier]

Very nice pics. Thank you for sharing. The Panther thur the bridge dio is by Charles Reading a very nice guy and very good dio builder. I believe the Tiger I in the snow is also his. Some very nice models there. Brock

[Larry Bates]

Hi ,

Yes, the models that were there were quite fine, although it was not a big turn out, and I also just took pics of the very best ones, and a few were a bit hard to get at. Not as many vendors as I thought would be there. I took 52 pics, so that's it folks. Sorry for the blurry ones :(

glad you enjoyed it.

Larry

PS, Brock thanks for the added info.

At least you got to check it out Larry, even if it wasn't as 'super'...Ya know, I got the impression from the DML site that it would be like the convention to end all conventions lol...that might have played a role in turning people off, to an extent (?)...IDK...

It would have been interesting because I almost never get a chance to go to those things (at least the 'fun' conventions that is lol)

Thanks again for the pics Larry!

RC

[sam_dwyer]

Excellent Pics Larry,

Looks like there were some excellent models there!

Sam

[Guest_bravo Tango]

Larry, some mighty fine Pix there. I really enjoyed the concept of the instruction lesson.

Something a bit different from the norm.


Thanks

Brian

[Larry Bates]

Hi Brian,

Actually, after Tom was done with his speaking everyone went up to the front and he showed his technique and passed around his tools, and we all took turns trying it out, and it was quite easy! Nice Guy. Thanks Tom.

Larry

[Larry Bates]

I think Sam would like this. ;) as well as James T.

Hey Brock,

In addtition to the 2 you mentioned, the dio with the 2 Russian tanks and a row of seated Germans is also his - I seem to recall seeing it some 3-4 years ago. :)
