Held at the Canadian War Museum, a short walk from my house!

Looks like a great show, wish I was there. Thanks for posting the pictures. I particularly like the railroad dio in the first set of pictures and the battleship Yamato pictures.

Those would be 2 foot ridges! LOL... much of that aft area was scratch, according to the entry form.

It was fun to go, especially as I only had to walk down the street!
There was a silent auction, and vendors of course. Picked up a few aftermarket accessories, and some used books.
There were lots of vintage kits.
My special area of interest, WW2 North Africa soft skinned vehicles, unfortunately, slim pickens!

Being my first show, it was also interesting to hear the judges discussing amongst themselves...

If it is, then I suspect hazing in the Imperial Japanese Navy consisted of making new recruits stand only on the raised bits.
