    On November the 14th Fort Thomas Kentucky is having a military modelers show with vehicles and living historians. This will be my first year attending sounds like a good show to honor our veterans. Hope to see you there will be wearing a uniform prop from Saving Private Ryan and plus will have my demolition and guns on hand. God bless and thank you to our veterans.

    I went and visited Fort Thomas for the first time and it was awesome. I had my small smattering of gear there my stuff is on the table with a 99th infantry division baseball uniform and equipment used by the airborne divisions. But the highlight of the day was getting to hold and unfortunately it blurred (why oh, why did I not check this) was the folding bazooka model. The gentleman who owned this collection has some really great stuff like the German Camo tunic British anti-tank rifle and some Japanese early war model officer uniforms. Thought you would all like to see how it looks. The show was free to the public it is a model figure show but they have been asking collectors in the area to come down and set up and they will supply the meal and it was good. I will see them again in the summer next show will take me to Fort Knox where I will be saying a tearful goodbye to the Patton Museum as it moves to it's new home in Fort Benning.
