daveculp Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) First day at Nats in the books. This is the first IPMS convention I've attended. People are in no hurry to get their models on display, and I'm guessing this is normal for the first day. The vendor area is well stocked. I've got two models in the show, one diorama [***SECRET***], and the "Vegas Strong" F-15.

Juggernut Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I’ve got a lot of photos of the 1/32 aircraft and 1/35 helicopters. I’ll post them as they upload to my Nikon image space account. There is definitely a large presence of entries in our scale. There are also several larger scale aircraft like the 1/20 Nichimo Cessna and the like. Of these entries, there are several that stand above the others (just my opinion and as of right now, I am not involved in the judging….yet) scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveculp Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) OK, pics here, so it happened First is the main hall on the first day. Very quiet. Second is my entry in the Display Only category, the Vegas Strong F-15 based at Nellis, AFB. I didn't enter it for judging because I think the paint job and top coat could have turned out better. Besides the cockpit is OTB. Third is an entry in the 1/48 scale aircraft diorama category. It's made from two models (one split in half) and a front-silvered mirror. Very cool. Fourth is a B-47 sitting in the bone yard. Love the finish! I have an entry in the diorama category, but it's a secret. Shhhhh.
