RE: Old Rhienbeck Aerodrome on the 8th
In the past I've come up for just Saturday, but this year I'll be coming up for the whole weekend. Is there a place to store planes on site without having to disassemble them?

Rhinebeck Jamboree 2011
Any other RCU members attend the Jamboree this past weekend? I was only able to come for Sunday, and it seemed much smaller than in previous years, but it was still a blast as always. Any other pictures?

RE: Best scale photo!
He means to say that this isn't a thread to show off your scale model. While it is nice, this thread is for images of planes that look like they could be real, if not entirely indistinguishable from a real plane. Basically, your pictures are of a scale airplane, but not ones in which it looks real.

It was actually kind of scary, as I was only 4 positions over, getting ready to start my Pup. What struck me is how violent the crash was; it didn't seem like it was going very fast. Does anyone know why it went down?

RE: Best scale photo!
That's more post-shading than pre-shading, but I agree. Many plastic modeling techniques simply do not translate well to a larger scale. While it's interesting to look at, it's not very scale in terms of accurate replication of real weathering and paint shading.
