Murfreesboro show 11-14-2026

[Heavens Eagle]

Yesterday I took to the road and drove over to Murfreesboro which is located about 50 miles south of Nashville. I got there about 9:30 after being stuck behind a POS Wide load piddling along as slow as 25 mph on the highway which had a lane blocked off. I took 3 builds, the Maus, the SdKfz 234/2 Puma that I build for MMM this year, and my 1/16th Pak 40. Got through registration, figured out where I had to put my builds and went over to the fairly sizable dealer room. Squadron was there as well as many individuals. There were cars, figures and all kinds of "stuff" to be found and had. One fella came over and visited with me about the Pak 40. Apparently he has been working with Das Werk and Takom on their models and talked about some of the issues he had with them. I also saw a number of the local builders from Memphis there. I never see them in Memphis. HA!
Anyway here are a number of photos I took of the builds there. They had a record number of 535 entries. Which was good. I could have run through and shutterbugged, but unless something really catches my eye or looks interesting I don't bother. Here are some of the entries.

These are a little bigger than my usual postings to give more to see.

There was quite a mix of models there. They had added Gundam categories as that has begun to have a large following.

Here is some more.

This next little tank is 1/72nd scale and has a huge amount of scrachbuilding in it.

This following is another 1/16th scale Pak 40 that someone built. He had the right idea (I guess) but it looks like a new museum prop rather than an actual emplacement.

This was something rather interesting.

That Z28 looks good but I don't know how that guy is going go fold himself into that car. He must be 7 foot.
That M12 is amazing, would not have guessed the scale by the picture alone.
I think I've seen that Halftrack somewhere before.

Thanks for the report Paul, guess you made it a day trip?
