MCMA Showdown Irving Tx

[Okiemodelbuilder]

That's what you think Daki!!! Here's a some you missed:
My just completed '71 GTO Judge - Third Place Curbside

and my just completed 1970 Camaro SS from Reliable Resin which scored First Place - Slammer

And here's two more that I displayed in the ever-competitive Street Machine class. No "metal axle" model will ever place in a judged event in Street Machine.

ouch, that just hurt!

I personally think it was a great turn out. though not as "star studded" as what I'm used to for the showdown. all in all I guess seeing Scale Master's work on the Blue seven, James Tremblet's renderings along with the super detailed, and high quality of work shown by most of the builders on here kind of makes me numb to most of the standard quality work that myself and many others show.

it was a really good show though. lots of great vendors, and most of all, My friend Brandon was inspired, and encouraged by looking at the other builds and talking to the other builders. YAY, we gained another builder!

That is just not right - only 6 posts and already putting down work of many others without even seeing it. Learn to respect other's work noob.

Okie - your models were easily identifiable from the bunch - great and clean building style - I didn't know they were yours, but I could tell they were built by one builder.

Thanks for the pics guys.

He did miss some incredible builds. Marc's stuff is truely top notch! As was that 350 Z that car was immaculate, if anyone has a pic of that thing post it up. I know now the quality of build that I need to bring next year. I didn't realize that the judges would be picking the models up and inspecting EVERY aspect of them. My mustang could have been a contender in the common class had it been completed. It was missing the driveshaft, exhaust and none of the undercarriage was complete. Nor the engine since I never got around to building the turbos

Just what I though when I seen those picts: I guess is the first time I see something from you Okie or at least I lost something great: really a great hand, superb finishing and perfect trims: congrats.
