Out2gtcha Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm not 100% sure Maru, but I think the lobby of the Hyatt is where we meet for the Pima tour. BiggTim and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Uh. .........Not a grandiose start. Who puts TWO people on registration duty for a NATIONAL event?!?!?? I've been in this line for an hour and 15 min so far and looks like it will be another hour. Pee-pour planning on the Phoenix IPMS chapter I'm afraid. We had upwards of 15 registration personnel last year to avoid situations JUST like this. BiggTim, LSP_K2, Jeff and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to take my DSLR, but with my ultra economy ticket, I can only take 1 small-ish thing on the plane with me, and it has to be my model entries. No way I was going to check my DSLR, so it looks like its my cell camera for me for the trip, which is NBD since it takes pretty decent pics. Cant wait to get there (hopefully with two model entries in tact)! I've got a couple of quite decent DSLR's and accompanying glass but don't take them to model shows anymore. Although you can get superior results from them, you'll need to be able to control your lighting (and that is NOT a flash on the hot shoe!) and a tripod to get them. And since you can't control the background which will be cluttered with other models, it really doesn't make that much sense to tote a DSLR around. The very small sensor of the camera in the smartphone makes it actually easier to get enough depth-of-field to get (most of) te model in focus! Have a great show and all the best for the competition!

3Putt Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm amazed at the number and quality of the large scale turnout. Can't recall ever seeing so many 1/32 kits at National (or any show for that matter). Kudos to all. Hope to get some pics up soon.
