Wonderfest 2025 Results for my models

[CosmicQuest]

I though I'd share the results from my Wonderfest 2025 weekend. My wife and I had a great time while we were there. Everyone was super cool and I met some really great people. I was able to get Rick Sternbach to sign a print I got of the USS Voyager and also bought one of his original Giclee prints! I brought 6 models which I earned 2 silver, 3 bronze and one merit award. I am super pumped about that for sure. I am also blessed to have had FineScale Modeler photograph my alien satellite model. On top of all of that, Norm from Tested also interviewed me about my model builds for the Tested YouTube channel. Needless to say, I'm stoked and hooked for future events.

Thank you!! I love watching them too and it was definitely a bit surreal to be on the opposite end of one of those, lol. Hopefully I didn't babble too much when he was talking with me!!
