Hey, I’m curious if anyone here frequents IPMS events? There is one coming to my town in September, and I’m considered entering into it.

Ive been trying to get to one. Hopefully the schedule will eventually line up. It would be nice to meet some of ya'll there but not too many folks are in my area. At least none that I know of yet.

I used to regularly attend the local club meetings and went to and entered the nationals in 2004 and 2007. I highly recommend you go to the nationals if you can. So many perfect models of every genre all under one roof. Mind boggling. And then there's the vendors....

I went to the one here in Indy (Lebanon) and had a really good time. Even got to meet some fellow members here which was great.

Hey, I’m curious if anyone here frequents IPMS events? There is one coming to my town in September, and I’m considered entering into it. That all depends upon your definition of frequent ![ezKn7J](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/1792/ezKn7J.gif) I like to attend monthly chapter meetings, local shows, and other stuff that’s within a few hours drive radius, if I have the available free time. Like the guys have said above, you’ll see all sorts of good looking models, not mention the vendors at many contests/shows. Since there is an upcoming show, I’d highly recommend that you attend a few of the meetings of whatever local chapter is hosting the event, and get a feel for them. It may be a great group of modelers that you are missing out on. I learned more from my old IPMS monthly chapter meetings in a few years than from probably all of the Internet forums I’ve been on in many more years of daily usage.

As a member of IPMS Orange County (California) I do frequent every contest I can and have judged at many of them for the past ten-twelve years. I highly recommend attending any contest you can; as well as joining a local club as well if you can. Even if you don't enter, you'll have numerous opportunities to talk to modelers about how they did something; that is after you recover from the sensory overload at so many masterful models all in one room.

So says my recruiter... Mark recruited me to come back into the IPMS fold after years away, and it was probably THE best modeling related decision that I have made... aside from my current job

I attend IPMS meetings here in Houston when I can. Unfortunately my job gets in the way a lot.
