I was in Collinsville, CT this weekend for the New England/Northeast RPM Meet. As always it was a good time though there seemed to be fewer models this year than last. Not sure what that’s about, but it is what it is. The models that were on display however were of the quality I’ve come to expect from the attendees of this meet. I especially enjoyed the two presentations Brian Banna gave about building his MoPac SD40-2 and GP35 and was glad to get the chance to see some of his work in person.
If you haven’t attended before, consider it for next year. I have no interest in New England (or even east coast) prototypes, but I always find a lot of variety in the model room and have conversations that introduce me to new ideas and new skills to make my modeling better.
I took a lot of photo’s this year, check them out below the cut. Please let me know if I attributed anything incorrectly or misspelled any names.

Lots of great looking models.
Great website!! Thanks for posting all the fantastic pictures and thank you for the kind words.
Nice report and I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk at the meet. I’ve just discovered your blog and I’m enjoying reading through the postings…
Cheers!

Hi Trevor, I’ve been following your Port Rowan progress for awhile now and I definitely noticed your models at the meet, but I failed to connect the two! I’ll try to catch you at the meet next year if you’re there.
