Armored Fighting Vehicles

Ever since I was in grade school I had an unnatural interest in armored fighting vehicles (AFVs), also known as tanks. Every now and then I get the chance to see some in a museum or by chance. Here is a little bit about another of my interests.



Mid-Michigan Model Show 2006

The Mid-Michigan Modelers Club holds an annual show and contest every spring. I had always wondered how the models I had recently made (1990s) stacked up against other model makers. Only one way to find out... enter the contest. The Spring of 2006 I entered one of my models, an Israeli Merkava MBT. When the judging was done, it had won the gold medal. This is not just first place, a gold medal is won by the quality of the model. There were about 17 models in the category (Armored Fighting Vehicles) and two of them won a gold medal. Below are pictures of my model in the show.
