    Congratulations also to Brett for once again having his kits winning the awards.

    Well deserved!!! It is amazing the quality of modelers I have gotten the privilege of knowing over the years. Winning an award along the way is the icing on the cake!

    Wow... Best of Show is such an honor... when your peers vote you gotta be a bit humbled and very proud!

    Congrats Joel. Truly great work. Peabody was a pretty decent show although I didn't get to spend much time there as I would have liked.

    Thank you all so much. It was a really fun build and wonderful how all the kits interlaced. Not sure what to build next or where to go to top this one. First things first I'm waiting for a sunny day and want to take a bunch of pictures to post here, then I'll move on to the next project.

    Yes it was a great diorama and a pleasure to view. Joel - I Didnt get a chance to meet you at the show (even though I was there), but as others mentioned above, a delight to see a fellow SW forum member take the win.

    PS - Just to let everyone know as well, Bretts clinics were fantastic as well!!

    Welcome to the club - nothing more fun that building one of Brett's kits. NO, not true, nothing more fun than building several of Brett's kits, putting the together into a diorama, and then winning a best of show. Well, maybe doing it twice- your model blew me away and I think it represents the finest in modeling endeavors - congrats. Well done. Way to go!
