Thanks Russ! Hopefully the other 700+ folks who have viewed the article also liked them. I have to say this is about the lowest amount of feedback I have ever gotten from posting up 500 photos.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for posting the photos.
I never could find the time to leave the venders room to see the models and at the end of the day I just wanted to go home and relax.
Hope you post the ship photos.

Jim, I tried to post a comment here about 6hrs ago but it never appeared. Maybe others are having the same problem? Anyway, thanks for posting - great review, lots of inspiration.

Maybe it's because it takes such a long time to look at them all?
I'm blown away by the variety and talent on display.

FWIW, I went to a model show at an airplane museum last weekend. I think I took about a dozen model pics and over 200 pics of airplanes.

Hi Ray,
I am guessing you mean from the article page. Yeah we use to have a Javascript bug that messed that hit return to send feature. I guess I need to add a regular submit button to that page as well.
Thanks for reporting that issue.
Cheers,
Jim
PS: And thanks for the other replies as well. Was just surprised this wasn't getting more interest.

Really inspirational to see the work that some people turn out. Lots of great ideas gained, and lots of incentive acquired.
Thanks for the pics, Jim. It's a great service to those who can't get to the Nats. And, really...who doesn't like to look at pictures of models?
Cheers,
Mike

What an awesome display! I have just scrolled through every photo twice (only disappointment, didn't find a single P-61) and will go through them again for sure. Thanks for sharing Jim, much appreciated.

Jim, Thanks for taking the time to post all those pics. I'm crazy enough to download them all to create a slide show for the digital photo frame in my hobby room. Excellent motivation while working. Ric

Hi Jim
Many thanks for taking the time to post them all - and as others have said, there's some amazing inspirational work there. I can actually enjoy them this morning - last night a slow internet connection defeated me, and it was taking a couple of minutes to load up each pic, so I gave up.
All the best

Jim, started to take a long slow look at all those incredible model builds, as it's going to take me quite some time to go through them all. Thanks for taking the time to photograph all of them, edit the lot, then post them here for us to enjoy.
BTW, your comment on the lack of feedback is what many of us were discussing on a previous thread. At times it can be somewhat both depressing and disappointing. Yet view counts at least let one know that your post is being viewed.

Jim, finally finished taking that long careful look at all those incredible models. Often I wonder which ones placed, as there is usually no way of knowing. You've included several models with their respective awards. Thanks for that.

Marvelous work on display. Jim, excellent photography as well. You are to be commended on doing this for us and allowing us to see all the fine work which was displayed.
It brings home to me how subjective winning an award for a model is. When you see how good all of these models are, no wonder sometimes people don't understand how some place and others don't!! Thanks again, Russell.
