Last weekend I went to the Pasadena Valleycon that was held at the Peterson Automotive Museum. It was a great show with 509 entries and over seven hundred actual models on the tables. I didn't get to take many pics since my battery started dying in my camera, I had to only shoot those things that really caught my eye. Here's what I did get to take.
In Aircraft, these are the ones that caught my eye the most:
1/48th scale:
1/32nd scale:
1/35th scale:
I loved seeing this in the Sci-Fi category. He used the 1/72 scale USAF Ground Crew set for this:
This was cool too, like the Cylon was guarding his trophy. The light in the Cylon was on and moving:
These next couple pics will show a 40-foor long diorama brought in by a car club showing Whittier Blvd circa 1970's I believe. It took Best Diorama:
there were at least 120 cars on display on that diorama.
This was one of my all-time favorites--Porco Rosso next to his plane in his private lagoon:
This was interesting being built inside a metal pail:
This was the only 1/35th scale armor I shot.... sorry armor guys!
This was exquisitely done. It's in 1/700 scale:
This year, George included trains for the first time in his contest. He had four running layouts upstairs in the Penthouse and a category in the contest for static train displays. Here's some pics of some of the running layouts:
In that last pic, you could see people inside a restaurant in that red brick building!
More coming soon.....
