Now that a day has past, I’ve had time to reflect on the Huntsville show. First, I enjoyed myself, as I always do. Huntsville is always a good time. This show was no exception. That having been said, I found the show worrisome. The attendance was down, way down. I can only speculate that this was due to the ongoing financial crisis and the high cost of gas. While new kits keep coming out and people seem to be buying, I wonder if shows will see lower attendance, and if so what effect this will have. I will know more after Cinci.
Here is a TB-3. You don’t see this one often.

This next one is a 48th scale Ki-84. Very clean and a nice bare metal finish.

This next one is a figure vingette, WWI German leaders I think. (Thanks to commenter Fabian who notes that this is a scene from the Franco-Prussian war, not WWI.)
Franco-Prussian war scene
Nice pictures, a little correction the guy on the horse is Prussian king and later German emperor Wilhelm I. The one next to him Bismarck. Thus It should be a scene from the German French (1870-71) or German-Austrian (1866) war.

Fabian,
Thanks for the correction. I’ve updated the post to reflect this. Obviously, I need to brush up on my Franco-Prussian war history. Come back often.
