I just competed in my first ever model show which was put on by a local club. I entered my Battlestar Galactica Reboot model which is my baby, Battlestar Pegasus, Mk1 viper (Apollo) and Mk2 viper (Starbuck) inflight, heavy weathered, and my Assault Raptor. I swept the class (beginners sci-fi...fist competition, 1 year experience) Pegasus, Raptor, Apollo 1,2,3!!!
I wasn't there for the judging ( had to work) so my wife stayed and had to answer a lot of questions for me lol. Folks and judges were amazed that I was just getting into building and when asked who taught me, I said ( at setup) or she would tell them during the competition that I learned from Youtube, they were totally shocked.
Come to find out, there were several other sci fi builders who were competeing in the "professional" class that were a little worried when they saw my builds and relieved this year anyway that I was in the "beginners". Next time, I will be competing in the "big show" as the host club president put it.
I was just happy to be representing the franchise in a small way.
So Say We All
