Pictures from OrangeCon 2011

[Daniel C]

Pictures from this years OrangeCon in Fullerton. It seamed to me that the show was much smaller than years past. The Vendor room was a disapointment. And the models entered seemed fewer than I have seen at Orangecon in the past.

Here goes...

A nicely made "torpedo boat".


Tamiya's Heavy cruiser Tone..... with the Akagi behind.


The Armor entries..... ??


The Hammer!


For "englishtanker"


A different diorama that was nicely done.


A different "rod".


Gemini, always liked this spacecraft, but have never built a model of one!

Very nice Helo!




A rare Coast Guard subject.
