Thanks Dave for posting all these photos.
I am just in awe of the skills, artistry and build quality of all the contest models.
There sure are some very clever people out there !

You're very welcome...John Siekirk will be posting much better ones when he gets home. The big news tonight is that the Expo will be returning as an annual event. Location for '18 TBA.

I just came back from the EXPO awards dinner. Another fine EXPO has been completed and it's time to pack up for the trip home.  I spent 4 hours photographing the models in the contest room and will be posting them as soon as I can get the processing done. I'm going to take them down to the drug store to get the film developed as soon as I get home.

Jeff's presentation on turning period prototype structures into models was fascinating.

Jeff that's no round barn.

Dave,

Thanks very much for all the pictures. I know what is involved in doing such a task. Much appreciate the effort.

John, looking forward to your pictures.

Glad all had a great time.

Hi all,
         Wow! what great looking pictures and it's so fun to see all the visitors, clinics & great modeling.  Thanks to all for posting.  Whoo-hoo what fun!  Thanx Thom...

Dave has done a great job posting pictures of what the Expo is like.  My only negative from the trip is that I never got to meet him, and that Jaime didn't make it to the Expo this year.  I missed the last Expo, but it seemed to me there were less contest models than normal.  They were all still great, however.  The clinics were wonderful as was the vendor room.  Good to see all the forumites again as well.
