I have to agree excellent work....spent a long time looking and looking and looking....thanks for posting the pics....Steve

Fantastic Work Jim!

You coverage of the show and the many pictures of the various models gives is really awesome.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

That's a lot of tanks! Thanks for news like that. I think the Sherman dio on the first page is 1/48. I recognize the figure pose but maybe not

That's a LOT of plastic! I appreciate your comment about the "church-like atmosphere" of the display room, you hit the nail on the head with that one; inspiring.

OK 3rd times supposed to be the charm, hope my computer gremlin went to bed. Anyway, thanks for sharing your photo lay out Jim. A lot of models and great work there. The Orlando I.P.M.S. guys were great when I was a member living in Kissimme. Hope they are all still there, good memories from being in the group. Looks like it was one huge and successful show, wish I was around for it, but things change. Aside from that, there was a whole bunch of talent there. Jim, looks like you spent a lot of time taking pic's, and at a show that can be very time consuming and trying. Your photo skills aren't as bad as you think, much better job than I could ever do. And your cover photo of the Sherman is a Kodak moment. Whoever did it, fantastic job. bob d.

Wow you got some great pictures Jim ... It sure brings back memories ...It was a great show .

Hi Jim

That is certainly an impressive show. Our National shows down here , I suspect , withh never reach that size, in entries or vendors. Just wondering if the show is held at about the same time and location each year. We have started to do a once every two year trip to the states and wouldn't mind spending more that a few days at one of these competitions

Cheers

Awesome show report Jim, cheers. And many congrats to everyone who entered the comp- lots of very fine modelling on show there!

Good to see such premium photos and great entries. My favourites are the Iraqui IFA missile launcher and the IT-28 with the grafitties. Thanks Jim for the great effort to present it.

Nice coverage, thanks Jim

Hi Guys;
Yes that was a GREAT SHOW, My Club ( THE PELIKAN CLUB ) was 2012s IPMS Host. We were the ones who Set it up.
The Show lasted 4 Days Wed-Sat, At Disneys Contempory Hotel. And we had a Great Turn-out, the Vendors Room was Fantastic. All the BIG WIGS of Disney were in Shock as they had no idea that Our Hobby was so Big and Different in every Aspect, from Military Tanks too Space Ships. IPMS USA is held every year at a different local. 2013s is in Luvland Colorado. CHEERS. MIKE.

incredible time.
thanks for sharing the photos Jim, the sales room was superb too and the organization was perfect. it's nice can see my stug in your coverage. thank you so much
happy new year
