MOSS CON 2017 Special Awards
More than 100 years have passed since the outbreak of World War I. To commemorate the sacrifices of so many Soldiers, and the technological advances brought about by this war, MOSS offered the The Great War: World War I 1914-1918 award. Sponsored by IPMS/Prison City Modelers, this award was presented to Bill Loden for his Revell 1:24 Fokker DR 1.
|
2017 marks the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of Midway, both of which were significant turning points during World War II. MOSS wanted to commemorate those events by offering the Turning Points 1942: Doolittle Raid / Battle of Midway award. This award, sponsored by IPMS/MOSS member Bob Grenier (who was born in 1942), was presented to Greg Kittinger for his Hasegawa 1:72 SBD Dauntless.

The Richard Carroll Memorial Award (RCMA)
The first annual Richard Carroll Memorial Award was presented to Ken Leslie for his Monogram 1:8 1932 Ford Drag Car, which the judges determined would be right along with Richard's sense of humor in model building!
|
This award is to honor the memory of our friend and fellow modeler, Richard Carroll, who passed away in July 2016. The RCMA is awarded to the modeler whose model best represents Richard's style, taste, and model building preference.
"Build what you want, the way you want to, and above all...have fun!" |
