As usual Tony, your good photography saves me doing bad photography. Thanks. Though I did take underside photos of Scott Washington's CE3K UFOs, because they were awesome and hardly anyone takes underside photos. I must share those. They're still on my phone. Thanks, Ed. I appreciate your complimen...

(Norm and Tested were busy at this year's Wonderfest Show).

Now that I'm here at WF, here's my crazy prediction: this year Adam Savage shows up at WF, just as a regular attendee. Last year Norm from Tested came here to shoot video, and this year Fon Davis, his friend from ILM days, is one of the guests. The planets seem to be aligned. I didn't see Adam at t...

I'm looking forward to the photos.

Thanks for saying that. I beginning to work on them.

https://www.scififantmodmadrealm.com/Wonderfest2024/WFest-2024-Logo-medium.jpg Hello, I've completed posting the first part of my report on this year's Wonderfest Show. For this portion, I've just included the 14 videos I took at the show, (which accounts for over 3 hours of coverage of the show), ...

The wife and I are finalizing reservations the next two days and will be there. Any openings on an Iron modeler team? I have the bag of miscellaneous parts for the entry fee. We are REALLY looking forward to seeing everyone. :thumbsup: Me too! I really, REALLY need a break from my students. And Won...

I'll be there, once again.

And I've even convinced a couple of my newbee South Jersey Modeling friends to attend!

I read the first page and have bookmarked it. If I may be so bold, I found the color of the font to be uncomfortable to look at. Do what you want with that opinion. Hey, Thanks! Yeah, I've heard that from a number of other visitors to my site, that my choice of blue color for the text, when contras...

...Erroneous double post,

I just revamped and updated a very old article I originally wrote, (back in 2002).
I was surprised how much of my original "stuff" I wrote was still applicable today.

Happy reading!

Thanks so much, guys! I really appreciate your compliments and kind words!

Ok,

I've finally completed the second part of my report on this year's Wonderfest show. Included are just under 1,000 pictures,
(along with a descriptive, sometimes witty commentary on the show).

This was the third WF since it was cancelled in 2020, and it's been growing each year. Covid has definitely improved hobby sales, 'cause people needed something to do during all that downtime, and they rediscovered the fun they had when they were young (plus you have young people discovering it for...

I;m not sure, but I think partly what's taking place is a rebound of the 2-year shutdown of the show, due to Covid. It'll be interesting to see if the next couple of years continue to see an upsurge in the attendance and model contest entry count, of if the numbers return back closer to the pre-Covi...

Excellent work, as always. I enjoyed your videos. Just like with your pictures, you made my entry look good. Kenny Hey Kenny, Thanks, guy! I always aim to please, guy! But honestly, though, with your entries, do I really have to try all that hard, to make your pieces look good??? :?: (Something tel...

Tony, you spent too much time looking through the viewfinder of your camera, and not enough aiming your Mark I eyeballs directly at the models! :P But seriously, I appreciate the work you and everyone else do taking good photos at WF! :D You mean before or after that hoard of a crowd wasn't in the ...

Wow! Thanks for posting.

Somehow I missed seeing quite a few of them at this year's W-Fest show.

Hey,

You're welcome, guy.

Sorry about your friend passing away.

Thanks for those links! ("Ya just gotta love those Gundams)!

Well done, great!!! :D Thank you! Much appreciated! On a different note, I noticed your Gundam picture you use for your avatar, and am assuming that you're into Gundams. If so, where are three related article which I've also written, which you may be interested in checking out: (2001 Mobile Suit In...

https://www.scififantmodmadrealm.com/Wonderfest2023/Wfest2023-Logo-small.jpg Hi, I've just about completed putting the finishing touches in on the first part of my report on this year's (2023) Wonderfest show. Included are numerous video snippets which I took at the show on Friday, Saturday and Sun...

Hi guys and gals,

I just finished posting a article I've written on some of my recent usages of Aves products.

Hey Joe, Thanks! I seem to remember seeing it. Know anything about the Babylon 5 (Role Playing Game) Ship Builder's Manual: http://www.amazon.com/Babylon-Builders-Manual-Mongoose-Publishing/dp/1905471491/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314931707&sr=8-1 ? (One option I guess I may address is going th...

Hey M-B, I appreciate your enlightenment concerning the lack of information out there. Concerning your "go-with-the-flow" philosophy, I still would prefer to gather as much detailed information as possible, (some of which is still out there), before progressing ahead. I like to get as accu...

...Thanks, Paul.

Hello, I'm looking for reference material, (preferably a manual) which details the particulars of the docking-arm-unit used for the Babylon 5 Starfuries. A recent visit to Amazon.com turned up a Babylon 5 Security Manual, along with a Babylon 5 (Role Playing Game) Ship Builder's Manual. I was wonder...

…Is there a substance that will work better than cornstarch as a release agent? Silicon spray was suggested to me and a friend thinks that PAM nonstick cooking spray might prove to be effective. What about a liquid paint mask product? I'd go with PAM. There was someone from this board who routinely...

Great post, Kenny.

It's quite informative.
