How many AFers can we get on the podium this year? :D

I can't go!!!:( :cry: But,I'll be there in spirit :angel:

Very fat chance that'll I'll be there, My dad knows how much I love my models, so he probably wouldnt mind driving me for an hour to the Tamiya building, soo... I'll probably be there.

i'm too lazy to drive down to so-cal, so i'll jus stay up here in nor cal lol

One 'probably?'

I'm not the only one, am I? Turbo_ek is from L.A too, he'll probably come too.

Just plain scary how many of those names on the 2002 TamiyaCon winner's list are people I personally know (Including the Master Modeler winner and free trip to Japan on Tamiya winner, Dale King). If only their skills would just rub off..;-)>

I'm in Jay. If only so that some of the vibes and skills rub off on me.

It's cool, man! :) I went empty-handed last year and was totally blown away by the talent of the entrants, as well as being in awe of Tamiya's own showcases.

Plus they have a cool parking lot clearance sale. ;) (at they did last year...)

I'm guessing I'm only gonna go on the Sunday...eh... maybe both days. :o We can figure out some meet-up details when it gets a bit closer...

I know. Been there the the last three years. Hopefully I can make it again this year. C'mon, a chance to shake Mr. Tamiya's hand himself, how could I not go.

Normally I pick up some supplies more than kits at their tent sale.

We should meet.

About the clearance sale, do they sell some good kits or is it all scrap parts and useless stuff???

and hopefully we will like meet up or something for who ever is going..i wouldnt mind meeting the guys that are always helping others...(i was reading this forum for like 2 weeks before i registered,LOL)
so ive seen some wild stuff :)

Any of the good stuff you would see at the hobby store? 300zx's? maybe some skylines? Any of the good Japanese cars? supra/skyline/300zx/RX-7...

I'll be there, but I'm not entering. They have some good stuff for the sidewalk sale. I remember seeing some Ferraris and the S2000 with mugen wheels for sale last year, as well as paints and stuff.

Why aren't there many events on the east coast? I can't afford to fly there from rhode island.
