Post Wonderfest

We pulled back in about 4 PM from the Village of Louis. I have yet to empty the camera. I took a few pictures not all of it Trek. We, my Wife included came home with a moderate amount of swag. Heck, until Sunday when she ran of to the Museum at Churchill Downs She was out spending me. I will have a full report when I can get some decent food and a few more hours of sleep in my own bed.

But we are back and fun was had.

The Ghostbusters arrived back in quarters in WV late yesterday evening. I have been informed that next year we are making it a 4 day excursion instead of two..........

Did you meet anyone there? Several of the old Mighty Ten-12 were there - Chief400 (Commodore Red here at AST), lakespeed, zysurge, mar10 and... some other name that escapes me right this second. Great guys, all!

[Griffworks]

Or not....

[Tesral]

Sadly I did not meet anyone. A lack of communication that I won't commit next year. My wife is already discussing an AST party.

Meanwhile the handful of pictures I did take. I'm not much of a photo bug. I'll see what I can to to pack the raw images and put them on my Google drive.

A 1/1 model of John Lester from starship modeler, very realistic.

I really liked the Lion guy. He was in the exhibit hall.

I was wowed by the crash landed star destroyer.

Metropolis is a favorite film. This Maria robot was wonderful

And Homer Simpson plays King Kong in the staring role.

More to come.

Continued from the last.

Nicely done large scale Millennium Falcon

A second Falcon with interiors scaled to the action figures.

1/2500 destroyed Constellation

1/2500 USS Ternant. Looks familiar....

The USS Franklin. A nice lighting job.

And a 1/1000 winged defender that caught my eye.

[Tesral]

More pictures.

This large scale full interior runabout was a show stopper. I didn't read the tag but it looks 1/24 or so. Going on the shape of the bow I think it might have some Seaview in its blood.

The USS Potemkin is a 1/350 Connie. Still shots do not to the lights justice as it had the full spinner and all.

[Griffworks]

The shuttle - Shackleton - was scratchbuilt by Bill Krause. Well, the main fuselage was scratched. The nacelles are the 1/350th Sentinel set from Blap! Models - which Bill designed for his Sentinel and Repulse 1/350 scratchbuilds.

Potemkin is from Michael Deptula.

Both are great fellas to sit down and talk with.

[Tesral]

Cool, i would love to meet them.

Still plugging away.

An actual Enterprise, refit this time. Nicely done.

A fully lit Imperial Star Destroyer. Impressive indeed. The camera and processing does not do it justice,

And a very nice Jupiter 2

[Tesral]

Still slugging my way through the chip.

I like B-wings. My favorite Star Wars fighter.

Classic TOS computers. Complete with Nimoy's little blocks.

1/1 Assault Phaser. I bought me one of these, it will take some work.

It's right behind me, isn't it? Quirky, I love it.

I like Vamperilla.

The artist caught Fred Winn perfectly. The Munsters was a favorite as a child.
