Our 50th Annual show will be held September 10, 2011
The 50th Annual Washington Show will be held this year on September 10th at the Northern Virginia Community College Ernst Cultural Center.
What's New for 2011
In addition to the Col. Washington 50th Annual Show figure and the Special Awards, the NCMSS will also be introducing new award medals (gold, silver and bronze) for the Advanced Divisions.
These medals have two faces. On one side is a rendition of the U. S. Capitol and on the other is a replication of an imposing bronze equestrian statue of Gen. George Washington that commands Washington Circle, in Washington, D. C. The statue was sculpted by Clark Mills and depicts Washington at the Battle of Trenton. It was installed in the center of the circle on February 22, 1860.
The medals each have a color-filled ring separating the outside lettering from the central design. The colors correspond to the award: blue ring with gold, red ring with silver and white ring with bronze.
This will be the NCMSS' fifth logo/medal redesign.

| I got to see my good friend Keith once again. His talk on military painting was excellent & informative! You'll notice the new painting I purchased which is on the Yahoo Group now as well as I'll post here. |

My new artwork! "The French Attack On Marengo" On the evening of June 13th, the French attacked the farm hamlet in an attempt to gain the superior defensive position along the Fontanone creek which flowed just to the north and west of the buildings of Cascina Marengo. The sucessful attack set the stage for the main battle which would occur the following day. |
