So, you planning on taking it to the IPMS Nationals? It'd be interesting to see how it does there.

LOL....I don't think so Bob. Survive-ability of the model when flying to the show is down in the lower percentile...LOL Not to mention the IPMS judging mentality. I thought AMPS judges were whack some times! LOL Doubt it would do good at all either. Not a car or a 109! LOL Last IPMS Nats I went to there were around 250 109's on the table out of 1500+ models!  |

That's a shame. I think even IPMS judges would have a hard time turning a blind eye to this one.

If the show was closer, I might consider it. Omaha? LOL...it would not survive the flight I would fear!

I stay clear of all IPMS events. I personally have NEVER seen one that was, lets just say "fair and balanced"

Funny thing is "steering clear"! I work the Nationals each year for Vallejo...I'm already there! But I get where you are coming from! The judging seems to be well organized as does most of the venue, but the whole awards ceremony is like a 6 to 8 hour ordeal! With 1500 models, they should just stick the little medals next to the builds on the table and be done with it...LOL

I've found, with IPMS, judging is the luck of the draw. Sometimes you end up with a judging team that actually are familiar with armor stuff, while at other times none of the team are armor modelers. I'll agree with T about the awards. Maybe put the awards with the models on the table and then do a short awards ceremony for the "Best ofs".

Never easy with judging teams. Often the venue can be overwhelmed with entrants and judges are stretched thin...then there are the ones like you mentioned Bob, not too familiar with the subject at hand. We have to hope for the best!
