IPMS NATIONALS 2018

Posted by Paul On August - 6 - 2018

My wife Nina and I spent 4 days this year in Phoenix at the IPMS Nationals.  It was held in the convention center there.  I entered my 1/64 Model Shipways Privateer Rattlesnke, Eduard 1/4 Bf-109E instrument panel, Eduard 1/4 Bf-110 instrument panel, and the Hasegawa 1/16 Sopwith Camel.  I got second place for the Privateer Rattlesnake.  The show was really well done and we had a ton of fun, but it was hot hitting 115 degrees on some days.  We also had a terrific wind storm.  Here are some pictures….

IPMS NATIONALS 2017

Posted by Paul On July - 31 - 2017

My son Jared and I spent a wonderful week in July at Omaha at the 2017 IPMS Nationals.  I took my 1/6 R/C Sherman tank and the 1/100 Heller HMS Victroy.  The tank didn't place (I didn't expect it too).  The Victory took third place in it's catagory.  I kinda shot myself in the foot.  A few of the lines were a little slack due to the 950 mile car ride and the high humidity in Omaha.  I should have printed a note to the judges, but didn't think of it.  20/20 hindsite – lesson learned.  Anyway – here are a few pictures:
