I think leasing models is the way to go lol ! Just pay for the time you have them ?

Randy - I like the idea of leasing models - you may have just come up with a new business plan !!

LOL, Tom's sure quick with the camera ! It definitely was packed at the show, including youngsters like myself, as well as more mature collectors like Tom Kinney and Bob Jackman !
I spoke to several Forum gentlemen at the show and Tom K. and Bob J. helped ensure Forum 43 was represented nicely. Although it's still a bit incomplete without you John, and, of course missing Dick until next year's show.
I picked up a little something from Greg Gunn's section ..... it should be interesting to hopefully add this one to my 1/43 collection.

Missed the show
I, too, missed the show. The six hour round trip was the clincher. Just couldn't swing it with everything else...
I'm hoping someone was handy with a camera. The wide shot that Tom provided shows off some 1/24 and 1/43 Automodello models that have me drooling...

Thank you all for the Automodello compliments

An 11 hour round trip for me that I broke up with an overnighter. It was well worth the drive. Got to talk to many of the 1:43 Forum members and was able to pick up a GELO Porsche that I have been looking for, for quite some time.

WOW! All yours? I'm envious. I picked up the 74 Gelo/Polifac #GT45 Porsche at the show.
I have maybe a dozen of their cars with two transports. One of which I made using an existing cab and frame from another. Then adding a box carrier. It is for the 70 Le Mans #10 entry
