Martinnfb Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Did you guys meet each other at all? Just wondering, I couldn't show up this year. Cheers M. Edit: a complete brain fart, obviously the show is coming up this weekend 🤦♂️ 2
Administrators Fran Posted August 7 Administrators Posted August 7 I would love one day to be at IPMS Nats in US! I hope that it will be a fantastic show to all! Please share the pics with us! 1
recon Posted August 8 Author Posted August 8 We find out on Saturday where the 2027 convention will be. Fort Wayne, Indiana has it next year. Mike 1
denders Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Okay, some photos. I'll eventually post them all. It's 3PM here, the convention dinner and award presentation is this evening. And we're traveling tomorrow. I've no idea how good the internet will be at that location, so be patient. Next year (2026) is August 5-8 at Ft. Wayne, Indiana and 2027 is Huntsville, Alabama. They have placed the 'Best Of Category' awards this morning. My understanding is they will have a video playing during showing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd awards of each sub-category so the after-dinner show will be shorter, and we can all get our models out of the contest room earlier. I understand that everything has to be gone by midnight. It may be earlier than that and everything includes everything, not just models. Sorry, I didn't see the other Best Of Category winners, my feet said NO! 4 2

denders Posted August 11 Posted August 11 This is Category 132 1/32 Jet Powered. This was 1st Place. This was 2nd Place. This was 3rd Place. More Photos to come. 4 1
denders Posted August 11 Posted August 11 This was 2nd Place. This was 3rd Place. This was 1st Place. There are more photos to come. I have things to do this evening and tomorrow and most of the next day are travel days. 4 1
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 More Photos This was 3rd Place. This was 1st Place. This was 2nd Place. 2 1
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I took photos of what I thought were LSPs although while editing the photos, I'm not sure if they're all 1/32-1/35. This is not all the helicopters in the category. At least I have the models that placed. This was 1st Place. This was 2nd Place. This was 3rd Place. 2 1
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 These were the only LSPs in this category and neither one was an award winner. This was based upon a Guillow's wood kit. 2 1

It’s a weird idea to put a cutaway F-105 flying on a pole with pilots on-board …A bit like the modeller could not choose between two types of models … Hubert 3
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 This is Category 185 Conversions. (Forgot to take a photo of the marker.) I took photos of what interested me here. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the 1st Place winner. The Ki-100 was 1/32 and I think the Spitfire was 1/32 everything else was smaller scales. This was 3rd Place. This was 2nd Place. 1 1

It did have red LEDs in the engine area to make it look like the engine was running. 3
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 There is a Spitfire that placed 1st and I don't have a photo of it, not sure why. Sorry, Scott, if you're a member here. This was 3rd Place. This was 2nd Place. 1 1
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I don't have photos of everything in this category. This was 3rd Place. 1 1
denders Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Some of the models in this category that interested me. Mike's, I think he's Recon on LSM. 3 2
Landlubber Mike Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM Thanks for posting these pictures. Great models for sure! The best of ship class is amazing - that wire tower structure in the middle really is incredible and sets it off from other models. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted Sunday at 05:06 PM Posted Sunday at 05:06 PM Some great looking models there. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them all. Carl 2
