Wonderfest 2009.

[phc35]

This year I finally convinced the Carbon based pooh unit,that it was a great idea to attend the garage kit mecca of Wonderfest 2009,Louisville,Ky.This is a Sfi-fi/Horror convention of
amazing coverage of all types of memoralbilia.There were vast quantities of items such as
garage kits,action figures,autographs,movie posters,air brushes,paint,modelling accessories!
There was a nice display of the history of the Aurora Monster kits.And my favorite,two
collectors shared their collections of items used in the making of the Alien/Aliens franchise
of movies.Next year it will be held Memorial Day weekend

Here are somes pictures i took:

Hi Jay, thanks for the pix. I have read and drooled about wonderfest for many years, one day I will get there. The garage kit genre is taking figure modelling well into the future.

Looks like it was a great time!

Jay, thanks for sharing the pix.

What goodies did you manage to grab?

And which did you have to leave behind? (There is always a choice like tat at some time)

Cheers

Wonderfest '09

It was a great show. Pretty crowded, which is a good thing.
I bet you saw me and didn't know it.
I'm the nerdy one with the beer gut and glasses.
Next year let's arrange to meet up.

Looks like a great show I would love one of those Vermithrax kits but I just can not seem to save the money for it.
