I dare ya James. I've been thinking about renting a table there, just to have a place to hang out out.

If we still lived in the UK, I'd fly-over for that... then spend a week or so touring all the NASACR 'shrines' around the Carolina's, in a rented'n dented pick-up :drinks !!

Will be looking forward to meeting you Chad. I wonder who has met the most MAers? I can think of about 8 or 9 I have met, couple don't actually post but they are members, then there's that lurker over in Laurens County.

April 7-9th is fast approaching.

Hope a bunch of y'all can make it. If you drive in you'll know you're in South Carolina when the roads turn into dirt roads :rotf

Just saw a flyer for this the other day. I've never been to an AMPS show, so thinking about trying to make it to this one to look around.

The long awaited day finally arrived! We left at oh dark thirty and met up with The Pup for the ride to sunny Sumter.

Mike Roof and The Grand Poobah cuttin' up at the front door were there to welcome us.

I caught Mike mid guffaw, hope he'll forgive me since I on;y got the one shot.

We were a bit early and a lot of the models were still in the judging, so we hit the vendors. Chris made a bee line for the Grex booth to test drive airbrushes.

Bob and I hit CRM Hobbies and Archer HARD! Decided we needed to go look at models before the cash ran out. :laugh: Make sure your tetanus shots are up to date and let's look at some armor!

Since the theme was WWI, loads of old stuff to check out. For some reason, I had a Devo song stuck in my head......

What I really liked about this one is the way the track and suspension matches the lay of the land. :soldier
