Dr_PepPeR Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I was surprised when Jo of Lils told me that the show was only till thursday. In the past the competitions have culminated on a weekend. I usually go on the last day since I catch most of the IPMS BAC members there, like Mar, Jay, Tony F and Ping, just to talk geek modeling. I'm not too happy I might not get to see this year's nationals. Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Doc, SM Mega's got a tight schedule. We have had to settle for 26th to 29th. If you find time, do drop by. Quote Link to comment

I'll try to play hooky for a while from work on thursday lunchtime. The display area seems quite impressive from the pix, and everything seems to be in glass cases. IPMS BAC is sure moving up!

caloyski65 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It was the tracks that finally got me. They didn't take paint well. I had to dip the tracks in a mixture of white glue and water so that the paint wouldn't flake off. As with other Zvezda kits, the vinyl tracks are too tight, resulting in a broken sprocket when I forced them over the wheels. I didn't feel like touching the kit again after that and simply left it as it is, floating tracks and all. Nice work on your T-34 Doc!.......Keep posting the pics of your works for all to see......Medyo nag lie low muna ako dito sa scale modeling to give way for my other hobby......Fishing Quote Link to comment

Boelcke Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Sir Caloyski, Naku, sayang! I had just left by then. I had to get the wife and the daughter home kasi, and with the curfew and all. Buti sana kung ako lang mag-isa. Anyways, we can all meet and get together sa monthly meeting ng IPMS-Bert Anido this December (most likely the second Sunday), at the UP Fine Arts Bartlett Hall. Everyone's welcome to join. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 This is the first time I missed the Nationals. Bummer! I hope next time it can extend over a weekend. Anyway, I managed to take pictures of one of my builds, an Italeri 1/35 ISU-152 (I think) http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m162/doctorpep/Isu00.jpg Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks for posting the pix of the event caloyski!The Abrams with interior looks great. I wonder if that is the Italeri Abrams with resin interior? To continue... http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m162/doctorpep/Isu01.jpg Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Herr Boelcke, I remember that one of the rules for IPMS Nationals was that if a figure was included, the model should be entered in the diorama class. Does this rule still apply? http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m162/doctorpep/Isu03.jpg Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Gosh, I really have nothing better to do... http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m162/doctorpep/Isu-04.jpg Quote Link to comment
