SCAHMS 2006

[captnenglish]

Well, the SCAHMS 2006 show was this weekend and it was great. There were I am told about 90 exhibitors and the exhibit tables were pretty full. The quality of the work was as always outstanding! Barry King won BoS for his box dio _The Death of Nelson._ I was not able to photograph it, but hopefully another PF member will have. I only took a few pics, which I will attempt to post later today. PF members Bob Tavis, Roger Claeps, Matt Wellhouser, Randy Myers, Mike Good, and Anders Heintz (very nice to have finally met you) all took home medals (sorry I can't list them and I am sorry in advance if I left anyone out). Oh, and my Texas Brigade figure earned a certificate in the Advanced open. Bob Tavis' _Brave Little Belgium._ is even more impressive in person, I told Bobo, that I can't wait to his latest piece. Anyway just a short report.

Great Show! I was happy to have met Anders, but I guess I missed you. That's what I get for leaving my "PF Badge" at home. I made it home alright (just in time for a record setting snow fall! :angry: ) but my luggage didn't! This wouldn't normally bother me, but my vendor purchases and show medal are all in that bag! So here's hoping that I get it all back this evening as promised. Once again, thank to the SCAHMS people for putting on a great show.

Matt, I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures

Glenn, Sorry I missed you, your message reminded me that you were there and that I was planning on meeting up with you. Sorry I left your name out of the medal recipients too, flawty memory, I guess. Hope your luggage makes it home soon.

Glad you guys all enjoyed yourselves. CONGRATULATIONS go out to one and all on your fine work I'm sure we'll see pictures of in the coming days and weeks. SCHAMS always has some terrific photos. Glen, sorry to hear about your luggage. :lol: Not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. I'd be ready to spit nails right now. The only thing better than attending a show is coming home and looking through your purchases. Hope it gets there soon.

Thanks for the report,
Jim Patrick

Thanks for your sympathy guys. You'll be happy to know my luggage arrived last night safe and sound. I read an article in this mornings paper which reported that 30 million pieces of luggage were reported "lost" last year! I suppose misery loves company eh? Looking forward to seeing the pics that people took.

Jim Starkweather from Armorama has posted a pretty comprehensive gallery of pictures from the recent SCAHMS show here

There is one picture that probably wont make it to most reports and that is of Bill Horan who has been having some problems with his eyes lately:

They look like great pictures. Unfortunately I can't get beyond looking at the thumbnails. I signed into Armorama and when I click on the pictures it says I need to register. No problem. When I click on REGISTER I get the famous "page cannot be found message" Any suggestions? Thanks.~Gary

 

[btavis]

Gary, I believe you can log into KitMaker with the same ID/password as you use for Armorama.

Bob, I managed to sort it out. Thanks.~Gary

here is a link for some of my SCAHMS pics. They are all formatted but for some reason, I could upload only 100 pics and then the yahoo thing locks up on me. I can't even put the names in.
So here is the first batch and I am taking the computer apart now, this is too frustrating...
I'll get back to you when they are all online. I have a list of names for the picture numbers as well.
Hopefully the link works...
