AMPS INTERNATIONAL Atlanta, GA 2013

Is it just me or does one of the pictures of Ken make him look like the son of Shepard Paine ? :D


Looked like a great show with lots of quality biulds on show.

Personally, Id be a bit miffed with the use of some of my artwork without permission or even an acknowledgment,...poor judgement on their part, me thinks :smack
 
If you don't mind downloading a zip file of about 16 MB, here are 230 shots of the work on display at the show.
AMPS 2013 Was a great show with a lot of fine work on display as well as good stuff from the vendors.

I ended up letting go of some cash at Jon Vojtech's table as well...can't ever have too many tools! :)
 
As for meeting the guys, it was great. A real pleasure to finally talk face to face with a few of the famous people ( and even get an honest opinion. ) )

Well Ken, I'm sure I was not the one that asked the tough question but thanks for your answer. Had to been one of those other guys :rotf

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Believe me I would if my financial situation wasn't that... :stinker

Well Ron, should that change I'm sure we could find something to eat and some cold ones . The beer might not be up to your standards though .

To be honest, I didn't want to go but I got to meet some good people including some Yankees from Redfrog hobbies ( from NY ). Refreshing to have conversation with people from up North.

I wish I had got a chance to see one of John's build up close and personal but as far as I know he only does airplanes.
Wouldn't you know it the tool I wanted to purchase from him was not on hand :bang head

I did however find several things I had been looking for such as Mrsurfacer and other products.

Even got to try a Grex airbrush but even with the great salesmanship I'm sticking to the Iwata products

All in all, many good builders but no one brought a single built airplane . :rotf

Cheers, Christian B)

:blink :blink I'm not sure but I think I should be offended...

:rotf
 
Nice Pics Mike! looks like a great show :)
But somehow, we (Ron and i and the rest of the european part of MA) must get over there with some beer and meat next time! :beer
Must figure out a way to win the lotto or euromillions first......
Thanks for sharing this (y) (y)

MP, I've already met you. Besides, if we wanted to get together we would just do it as you're always willing .

The reason I did not want to go was the lack of flying thingies plus the long trip ( again )

Joey, no point in taking my planes. Those guys probably have asked where the tracks went. They were even arguing about the LST ( I think that's correct )as the weapons of mass destruction were on board .

Chris, there aren't any cats at a dog show . To Mike. Thus my reluctance to go .

Cheers, Christian B)

Hey Panzer ace ! Good to meet you too , but why worry about the hair. If I still had some I'd flaunt it too . . . . Then of course I have a little more than the hair commercial ( maybe ) :rotf

Guess we made a round the US representation . MP the South , Mike the West and myself the North (y) If we just had some from Cal we'd be good . Maybe Bob or Chuck .

Good to hear you did so well with your entries . Some really good one there :D

Nice meeting you. Need to do it again . . . Maybe some overseas visitors to show us how to do it right :rotf

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Hey PHANTOM II ,

Thanx for th kind words \m/_\m/

Darn, I totally forgot the frozen tundra . James ? I know there are others here from North of the border . (y) (y) That would be nice .

Cheers, Christian B)
