Dan Swiersz brought a "big and shiny" 1/32 scale Trumpeter F-8 J Crusader to which he added a resin cockpit. To a great effect, Dan used talcum powder coated with flat black paint to simulate the graininess of walkways. |

 Dan King started this Iditarod 2000 diorama - in 2000 - using a 1/24 scale Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser with Skip Samples decals, and a snowmobile from MPC's Ice Patrol Pickup. |
| Dan used spray foam insulation to simulate the snow mounds, which brought him a lot of problems as the foam expanded beyond his expectations, and then started to shrink after trimming. | |

Marty Horvath showed a 1/48 scale Revell F6F-5 Hellcat, but is currently working on a 1963 Revell 1/48 scale model of a Grumann F6F-5 Hellcat. Marty read a book about a particular F6F, which prompted him to build the model.
