The Haul. Less than I expected, really, but it certainly felt like more when I was hiking back to the car. Clockwise from the top: Anigrand X-20 Dyna-Soar, Miniart 1/16th Roman legionary (and VERY nice too, it appears), Airfix 1/72nd SH-3 Sea King (key to my hopes of one day building an Apollo 11 recovery diorama), Wespe Models Mack 5-ton truck (also very nice based on preliminary examination), Lindberg "Star Probe" reissue, and the Star Trek "Adversary Set" which includes the Romulan "Pierre Cardin" cruiser, a Ferengi horseshoe crab, and a Klingon Bird of Cloaked Prey. Also, in there somewhere, some forceps, tweezers, glue and spatuli. The TV remote control did not come from the convention.
The vendor room. Be still my quivering wallet.
The contest room. I didn't even bother trying to photograph any models with my wretched cell phone camera, but there were some exceedingly meritorious things on display. The dark blobs on the nearest table are a whole collection of Dragon 1/72nd Shermans in US, British and Canadian markings.

I'd love to pick up that Lindberg Shuttle. I wonder if one can order it or if it's out of production again.
I've certainly never seen it listed at any of my usual Internet haunts (Squadron and Roll Models, mainly) so I assume it's out of production. But I see that Lindberg is reissuing a lot of their old kits and I wouldn't be surprised if this one came back, considering its popularity.
