By a stroke of luck we were able to attend Buffcon 18 in Buffalo NY on April 1st 2001. This was the first time attending a model show for both of us. I was surprised at the variety of the model types that were displayed. We both had a fun time and plan to go to more shows. I was able to find some spare parts I had been looking for in one vendors spare parts bin, that alone was worth the trip! While Terry was looking around she managed to pick up a copy of FineScale Modeler Magazine and get the autograph of Bob Collignon who built the Tiger Tank model on the cover of the April 2001 issue which Terry had aquired & Pictured below.
