NOVAModeler Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Huge congrats to one of the staff, Rick from Maryland, who was awarded "Master Modeler in 1:48 and bigger aircraft" at the monthly NoVA IPMS meeting last night. In order to achieve this, one has to receive 1st place 5x in a given category at the monthly meetings where members vote for models on the tables. 4

Am truly humbled to be acknowledged by my peers at NOVA IPMS. As you saw last night I was totally unaware of this, what a great surprise. Further, I am in great company with skilled modellers like you and will enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship playing with plastic airplanes. 4

nmayhew Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 For pure modelling, the Zero conversion was my highlight The Hartmann 109 is a popular subject done superbly - finishing of the highest order All hail!! The Master!!! 1

My apologies, Rick. You're right, it was another modeller. I had just been looking at that build again, when I posted my response. I really need to drink more coffee sometimes.......
Administrators James H Posted February 8, 2014 Administrators Posted February 8, 2014 Well done Rick! I have to agree with Nick and say the Zero was my favourite. NOW.....what next?
JonathanReed Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Congrats! That is quite an accomplishment!
