Madison 2024-Group Build

[recon]

For those that are considering going to the 2024 IPMS Nationals in Madison, Wi. What do you think about doing a group build!

Let me know your thoughts,

Mike

I’m 100% for it, actually.  I’d be in for HK Havocs, ZM 109s, or similar.  109 is tiny, and Havoc does come apart for transport, but am open to other ideas as well.  Even Infinity Vals for those who want to bend the line a bit

Should it be related to the hosting location in some way, or we can just set up our own theme?

[Clunkmeister]

What is the theme?  I haven’t heard yet

[Martinnfb]

All American, red, white and blue .

Thanks Martin, this makes Telford our premiere show look very tame. I now want to go, fat chance…….

[BlrwestSiR]

Madison looks very do-able for me. It's drivable from Toronto and I can even stop and visit my sister in Chicago on the way.

Either everyone builds to a theme we set, or an identical kit.

I kinda like the clunky lines of the 109..

GB Theme: WRONG AIRFIELD .

A couple of ideas, P-51, USN WW2, planes of the Vietnam war!

Mike

[Martinnfb]

P-51 is a good one.

What about  the "king of battle"?

 

[Martinnfb]

Or " # carnage - a.k.a. big guns "

That’s give two excuses to go eeny meeny miney moe regarding the RF-8 or the ugly SLUF 

[Clunkmeister]

And “Big Guns” would give me reason to finish my RB-36…….

[Martinnfb]

I wasn't thinking solely about airplanes . Big guns on anything, it would open possibilities for almost everybody.

I like it!  A mix!

OR, just a thought, but Red, White, and Blue theme could include anything American with colors. Armor, aircraft, ships, cars, etc.

Me, I’d go Navy and do either a Ford or a Cutlass with the Stars and Stripes scheme.  I think the Tamiya 1/48 Ford has that scheme in the box, and Fisher’s kit does as well.

As for armor, I know there’s plenty out there.

So I guess I’m good with anything at all for a theme, as long as it isne

that mecha, transformers, Gundhams, or figures, because I suck at figures.

I’ll  do what I can to continue my reign as the “Dean of Award Free Modeling”

[Martinnfb]

think disproportionally big, .50cal on a bike etc.

[PanzerWomble]

I'm game for another GB . Prefer US to WW2 German . Up for most subjects .

Won't be within 500 miles of any model show though🙃 nae my bag .
