BiggTim Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I'm already booked into the hotel for Telford this year - last year was a blast! Would LOVE to get onto the Continent and Prague is high on my list of places I want to go. Keep it up!! CN Oh man, that would be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Is any body going to have any entries? Mike Out2gtcha and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Is any body going to have any entries? Mike I'll have my little Ohka with me at the very least as it's small and I'm flying. I'm hoping to be able to get my Extra 330 done for the Civi class too, as it's fairly tiny too. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I hope enter 3 models. A2D Skyshark in the conversion category. F-90 in the scratch built category. F4D Skyray in the jet category. I don't expect any of these will win anything. I am just looking to have some fun. Dan Out2gtcha, BiggTim and CANicoll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have heard that Tamiya will not be at the convention. Bit of a disappointment if true. Not that I expected any announcements about a new Tamiya LSP, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sadly I am hearing that a lot of vendors are not going to make the trip to Nationals - too expensive to attend and sell, too hot, too expensive to go. Regardless, WE will be there and looking forward to catching up with you all. Chris BiggTim and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While far from perfect, Omaha is more centrally located, more temperate climate during the IPMS Nationals dates, and best of all with the lower cost of living, and low power/booth rental Omaha seems to attract as many or more vendors than your average US IPMS Nationals sites. I only say this not to toot my own horn about Omaha, but because of the financial aspect of it, and according to IPMS, 2017 and 2011 were two of the most financially profitable (siting low vendor booth costs, low power rental cost, lower airfare w/being more centrally located) IPMS Nationals ever. Im hoping PHX is just as fun, as the high number of LSPers going should make it fun no matter what vendors do or do not show up. I'm sure after some time period, Omaha may again bid on having the NATs. phantom and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I sure wish IPMS would have nats in the Seattle area sometime. Obviously not very centrally located, but the weather in August is fantastic, and there is a lot to do outside the convention to get people to come. Great aircraft and armor museums, great food, great sights, etc. I think they need to try it once. I have no idea what shape the Seattle IPMS group is in, though. I live 2.5 hrs east, and we don't even have an IPMS club anymore. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that whole area, and have long wanted to go back to the Seattle area, and also want to head back over to the Olympic Ntl forest.
