These are the pictures I took at Orangecon 2012, Wowmonkey has posted the pictures he took on our website, www.sdmodelclub.com if you care to see them too.

They are in no particular order and are right from the camera. Some will look a little yellow, the venue this year had a mix of white and yellow lights....

Hey, isn't she at pure platinum???
