Four of us from "Hobby Club" decided to go to AMPS in Auburn, Indiana. We live 3 hours away, MJ wanted to get there early (to get back early) so he was at my house literally at the crack of dawn.
We stopped to weewee and eat foodyfood at the oasis. A resplendent facility with clean floors.
Our arrival at the Kruse Auto Museum, home to AMPS 2015.
Entrance to the show. The nice admittance lady asked if I was over 55 (for the senor discount), I lied and said I was. I saved 2 dollars. I think this savings was recouped by the venders.
Here are two of my compatriots, "MJ" and "MJ" (actual names withheld for security reasons).
Typical of what was to be seen in the overly dark venue. This year the models were scattered throughout the exhibits in the military side of the museum. I'm sure it sounded like a good idea, but it made it difficult to enjoy looking at the models.
Another miniature.
This is the vendor section.
Airplanes....cars.....fire....bad.
For a fee, lunch was available at the event.
We instead chose to eat locally.
Stomachs filled with red meat, we returned. I tried to bribe the nice service men to let me drive this vehicle. I think they turned me down because of the dire look on my face.
More looking at models....although it was a little disconcerting....
...being watched by unliving eyes.
Another cool model from the Eastern front.
...Another mannequin.
Model.
Mannequin.
Model.
Patton Mannequin.
Models.
Yup.
Museum has a beautiful Studebaker. And a lovely pole.
Another mannequin.
At about 2:30 the vender area rolls up.
Vending Machines completely ravaged.
Buckled and almost ready to go.
Now we are ready.
Somewhere it is written that when Bun creates a new flavor, the blood will be bridle high. In the other oasis, (A mirrored duplicate of the first we had stopped at) I found a big surprise....SEA SALT. Bun has only had 3 flavors since time immemorial...Chocolate, Vanilla and Maple...(I always get Maple when I see it).
So ends another adventure in modeling.
