Juggernut Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) All are 1/35 or larger. Lots of entries this year; so much so that some of the aircraft on bases like the Ho229, SBD, and the Bf110 had to be displayed without their bases because they took up too much room on the contest tables. Slight update: I was not able to get ALL the 1/32 aircraft entries in photos. They were coming in right up to the last minute but I got most and of those late entrants, none really stood head and shoulders above any of the others that I has already taken photos of (using my limited photographic abilities...thank God for "auto" mode).

Juggernut Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 And last but certainly not least...a scratchbuilt Apollo 17 lunar module. This was 1/24 or larger (in my estimation). This was Amazing to see in person! Hartmann352, easixpedro, Jan_G and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thank you very much for posting! A few of my quick thoughts: Although most of these models are some of the best in North America, many of the builds here at LSP could compete very well with most of them Like Anthony mentioned, that F-4S paint job is awesome and it really grabs me. I bet the rest of the model is fantastic too, but it's hard to tell from a distance I'm really glad I'm not a judge! With the quality of modeling so high, picking one or two over the others would be very, very difficult Cheers, Chuck KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the quality of modeling so high, picking one or two over the others would be very, very difficult Cheers, Chuck Without a doubt Chuck, without any doubt. There are modelers here that could turn out models that would do extremely well, yours being at least one I can think of right off the top of my head. The judges had their hands full in almost every category. Taking close up photos was a daunting task with the proximity of other models to any given subject; one wrong move and crunch. I tried to use the lens to get as close as I could while keeping the entire subject in focus and in frame. I was able to shoot some detail shots of subjects that were near the edges of the tables. EDIT: With the way IPMS runs it's contest awards (1st, 2nd, 3rd in a given category) it makes it extremely tough to pick a clear winner in some categories, particularly in aircraft and armor. The judges are forced to nitpik to separate a first place from a second place from a third place. That can (and does in some instances) lead to a case of hard feelings (although I did not witness any at this event). In our annual contest (Penncon - September 11, 2021) we use the open judging system that AMPS uses whereby a model is judged against a certain standard. There are three standards, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. If the model is judged to meet a certain standard it gets an award; if not, it does not get an award. There are many more awards given out than in a normal IPMS contest but there are no "participation" awards. If your model doesn't meet the minimum standard (Bronze), it doesn't get an award.
