I am home from the show and I am here to tell you how the Dominion Building fared in the contest.
Results
Best of Show
1st place in Structure category
3rd in peoples choice
What really made me happy was I had competition at this show unlike the last show I entered in. The HO victorian building was really good, it had a few minor issues, but still was a great model, a few of the other structures were good but not great. There were a other models in different categories that were great, such as a S-scale caboose and a amazing N-scale SD70mac. One thing that I was a little disappointed with was this wasn't a NMRA judged show, so no points unfortunately. Also note the colors of the ribbons, Red is first and Blue is second??? When I walked up I thought I only took second but then I read the ribbon, sort of strange. Another thing, I entered my building a day after most of the other models so I lost out on many votes, and I knew this would happen but I needed the time to touch up a few things, or maybe I am just making excuses.
Again I want to thank you guys for the input and suggestions with this building, it really helped me to build a better model.
Thank you,
Chris

Just awesome. Congrats on your success. However looking at this model gives the viewer so much more than any ribbon can do. Thanks for being so open with your techniques, ideas, and work. You are an inspiration and I've learned a lot from your enthusiasm and amazing artwork and fine details.
All the best and congrats again!!!
