PIC: More Chicago news!

John Roberts was kind enough to send an assortment of models from his private collection. These are spectacular in person, particularly the woodies. They'll be for sale in the Forum 43 Booth but only during the show.

Here they are.

And...fortunately, the momentary flare-up of our hotly (get it? Flare-up---hotly?) anticipated unveiling did no permanent damage. We did manage to get this close up while it was cooling down.

And...rumor has it that one of the long lost sheep of the family is making the trek to Chicago, riding along with Tom Ciryak as well, Hopefully, he'll make an appearance at the Forum 43 booth as well. This is all the information we have so far.

It's even more striking in person. John did a beautiful job on it.
