Apologies. I'm not sure I would know your real name from here.

The 917K appears to be a Pocher 1/8 scale kit. Squadron is carrying some of these in the US.

You can tell it was! I resized the really grand views beforehand just to be sure.

I thought I finished the job, but I missed the Junior Modelers..... The Tamiya CVE posed on the box-top was quite clever! And the "Blast (Off) From The Past" pictures.

I consider these overview articles my "Job" as Modeler's Alliance' Roving Reporter. It's satisfying to finish the job.

The pinnacle of my contest day was two-fold. Mr. Bob Kirby and his brother-in law, Steve came up from Rockford at my invitation to experience their first IPMS contest and to look over a couple of Silent Service models a Navy Nut they know made. Bob and I have been messaging back & forth for...

A 1/48 scale display of Pearl Harbor aircraft. As the show winds down, you can tell I start to think about how long it will take to post all these for a small audience. PFOOF! That's a lotta pix! 2 Plastic Surgeons entered the 2026 Mad City show. I told Joachim, I wouldn't chew him...

Mr. Paul Boyer, 1/72 scale airplane model Master, oversees the 1/72 scale Korean War aircraft display. Only a few of them are not his builds. They put him in a corner all by his onesie. I stopped to offer greetings, and maybe cheer the man up a bit. I didn't slobber all over a model-maker I...

Some Shinies! A REALLY BIG Shiny for @paddy! 1/48 Flying Shinies for Bob! The Bearcat is 1/32 scale. Construction flaws really stand out in larger scales. Random aircraft eye-catchers. The 1/144 JV-44 Schwalbe was excellent! NOTE: If you like to build Helicopters, make the...

Registration and Raffle tables. Registration is usually pretty brisk. $20.00USD for unlimited entries seemed kinda steep, but it matters not to me. I just wanted badly to see some of my old nerdy friends and debut 6 out my 7 entries in Madison. This is the same giant room as last year...

There are 99 pictures from the Mad City Contest car ride to post. Bear with me Men! Boattail 712 departs MRN 7 march 2026, 0630. Weather is at minimums with freezing drizzle. low cloud ceiling and just plain lousy visibility. I hadn't driven much distance in a while, so we went easy, rather...

We have to go. We only see Jerod and Donya Boothe 3 times a year. They are good friends and great company.

Too rich for my blood. A Hobbycraft C-45 for $70.00 is flatly ridiculous.

This show is on our model fun schedule.

Here's a cool video on the L-4J Cub.
