Someone posted a link to their Fotki album on the HHMB.

Fotki Album of NNL Southern Nat's

Scale Auto shot the show for magazine coverage; and a couple ACME members shot pics for IPMS. Those pics may end up on ACME's Fotki account after they are resized. There were a lot of people taking pics; but seems few of the "regulars" have posted them on the 'net. I'm surprised that I haven't seen more people posting pics...lots of pics from the LIARS show this past weekend, but the ACME show was a good one and the quality of the models on the tables was incredible. Numbers were down from last year (we had 365 models entered); but still above the previous two years-last year was an abnormal spike upwards in attendance and participation. Considering that all shows have seen lower attendance this year, the ACME show went very well and there was always a good crowd and vendors were fairly happy.

I see your Chevelle on the table so maybe this is what you're looking for?

Cool- looks like a good turn out of builds at both shows!

The NNL I went to earlier this year was nothing but wall to wall muscle cars and street rods. If that was what you brought, great- if not, you didn't fit in. Mine was only one of three Ferrari's in the entire room, and I'm sure it got sideways looks all day, for being one of them 'farn' cars. I was wondering if this was indemic to NNL shows, or just specific to the club that hosted this one. From the pics of the shows this weekend, it looks like both had a good mix of everything.

Atlanta would have been a long hike for me, but I certainly would have enjoyed being there.

There was a fair amount of foreign/exotic cars there brought by non-ACME members and this has been the case in every ACME show.

The ACME club itself is pretty unique in that it has a large contingent of foreign car fans, and we build a lot! So if no one else arrives with exotics etc. we will naturally provide a balance.

ACME is anything but the "typical" model car club when it comes to the variety of interests. Yes, the foreign/exotic contingent is strong and prolific

and from what I hear our club/show is very unique compared to any in the country, including the west coast.

There's strength in numbers...one member building foreign/exotics could bring out others, so a club doesn't necessarily have to be only musclecars and street rods.

I think it would be fun if ACME's foreign/exotic contingent all build a rat rod, street rod, drag racer or musclecar just to keep 'em guessing

I brought my camera but ended up not taking a single pic. I usually try to shoot every car at our show, and that consumes an hour or two.

This year I spent that time talking to folks I hadn't seen since our last show, and having fun.

Finally got what few pics I took uploaded...they're a bit dark but I think the greatness of the builds will shine through.
