ITLA at Springfield 2025

RMC editor Otto stopped by the ITLA booth and took this photo of me. I was working on the back alley test build kit. From the sign up sheet the kit might do well.

If you did not go to Springfield this year or missed the ITLA booth I thought I would share a few views I took of my time there. This year was the largest booth they ever setup. It was a full square with lots of finished models and three of us showing how you assemble kits and finish the models. There was a lot of questions directed at us. I think sales where good as most of the stock was gone by late Sunday with orders being taken for shipping once home.

I was surprised how many of the WRD blog followers stopped by the booth to say hello. It was great to meet you all and hear from you...those visits made my trip to Springfield special...thanks...George Dutka  

Above and below is another new test kit which is a city block scene. The back wall is the same one that will become the back alley flat. This model was built by Bryan Schilling  who also explained modeling building and weathering techniques. A fine modeler for sure.

Steve shows some of the painting techniques he uses on his builds.

Nick manning the sales area.

This was a huge display with lots for modelers to look at.

Sunday morning getting ready for the day.
