Model Forum / General / Models / September 2005

Greetings fellow plastic fanatics!
On Saturday September 17th Baton Rouge Scale Modelers present Cajun
Modelfest XXI, graciously hosted by the USS KIDD DD-661 and Louisiana
Naval Warfare Musuem.  Please see our website at
http://www.brmodelers.com for a downloadable entry form, a printable
map to the contest and more information.
Our theme this year is the "Fabulous Forties" and "anything goes" with
this theme!  Five very special awards will be presented for modeling
excellence, handcrafted from Louisiana Cypress. We are still lining up
vendors for this event, so if you would like table space for this
event, please contact me directly at helomodlbldr@hotmail.com.

If you need contest flyers, directions, or have a question, please
contact me at the E-mail address posted above.  We have enhanced a few
catagories and added some new ones as well, so we believe we have a
wonderful mix that allows everyone to get involved.

If you have never attended one of our contests, you will be delighted
to know that we are situated ashore adjacent to the USS Kidd DD-661, a
fully-restored WWII /Korea veteran, and your paid contest entry also
gives you full admission to the Kidd herself! The Louisiana Naval
Warfare Museum is one of the nicest around, hosting the South's largest
collection of model ships, ship artifacts, a tremendous wealth of
donated uniforms, memorabalia and artifacts, incredible displays and
tributes to the men and women who have served and continue to serve,
and, if the mood hits you, two casino riverboats within walking
distance! It doesnt get any better than this!
Here is what we have on tap:

Your models! Run whatcha brung!
Vendors! you want vendors, we got vendors!
A MONSTER raffle!  Check our homepage for photos from last year.
We have some demo's on tap for this year, and we hope to add more.
Enhanced catagories with new additions.
A downloadable and printable registration form at our website. Save
time, do it at home!
Junior catagory "grab bags" for our younger modelers.
A great day!

Weather for theday of contest has historically been warm, with little
to no rain. Plenty of parking is available at the nearby parking garage
as well as street level parking.

We are looking forward to seeing you at Cajun Modelfest XXI, where we
mix the art of scale plastic modeling with the spice of Cajun
creativity!
