I took some pictures of the ship models at OMACON '09 today, 5/16/2009.

They were split into 1/700 scale and 1/350 and larger.

I'm sorry for some of the blurry shots, my camera battery was low and I was trying to hurry to get shots of them all.

1/350 and Larger Category:

1. USS Chevalier DDR-805 by Richard Sliwka (Yankee Modelworks) First Place
2. USS Skipjack SSN-585 by Randy Fields (Mfgr. Unk.) Second Place
3. IJN Yukikaze Destroyer by Mike Cavel (Hasegawa) Third Place
4. USS Atlanta CL-51 by Richard Sliwka (Gulfstream)
5. USS Winston Churchill DDG-81 by Michael Keegan (Mfgr. Unk.)
6. USS Santee CVE-29 by Richard Sliwka (Iron Shipwrights)

Richard Sliwka's escort carrier won the contest's special theme award "America Fights Back" with the Best American Combat theme model.
