Hi,
Any chance someone can contact me as not seen anything from IPMS about this years branch return fro IPMS Ipswich.
Tried the email address for UKLO but it bounces back as undeliverable??
Cheers

If a model fits the rules of its class then its fair game.
If that model then wins its class, it goes through to be voted on for best of show. Simples as alexander says.
I do think its very petty to say we should be building scale miniatures of the real thing thing. This would basically mean that the whole sci-fi section should be removed, are you advocating that?? Also no Luft 46 models even though they are plastic kits? no models of blueprint only aircraft? Where do you draw the line?
IPMS is about embracing all aspects of the hobby, if it were to stop doing that then I certainly would cease to be a member.
As to the model in question not my cup of tea but still a d**n fine model.

Well not sure if its me in these photos as there were 2 of us judging, how ever I considered it necessary to do, as far as I am aware its at our discretion to handle models. I always handle as though it were my own. I have seen models handled with gloves slip out so I certainly wont use them.
I know we made judgements on what we saw while handling the bikes which related to placing in the class. No models were harmed during this process.
If you want the models judged differently feel free to jump in and offer your time.
Due to other commitments I wont be doing it this year so there is an opening.

As for me, I witnessed the judges unnnecesarily handling the bike models, so I'll not be entering anything in the foreseeable future. How do you know this was unneccesary? It was, how do I know? I was judging these. The standard in the bike class is always high and it is very hard to differentiate between the models. It was necessary to handle the models to see areas you dont normally see, undersides etc. Only by doing this were we able to see a couple of errors which in the end basically decided the class. Every year I see so much bitching and moaning about judging. Did I disqualify models as they were in the wrong class? yes. Did I try and move them to another class so they were still in? yes I did but was told no. Does that upset me as a modeller? yes! To be honest I have seen the same mistakes on entry for 3 years now, people just dont read the rules!! If you dont like the way the comp is judged then come be a judge, there are never enough and any member can help. Julien

Importers want to take a lot of note as well!
I was surprised to see the prices of some second hand kits have gone up as well in line with new kits.
I also spoke to people who left stuff behind at the prices indicated.

Thanks for the heads up as I normally judge these.
i would like to think i could spot a commecial die cast but I will keep my eyes a bit more open.
It can never hurt to have info like this out in the public domain.

I would say that Judging takes quite a chunk out of Saturday for those that do it and to spend even more time goving feed back to all the modllers in a class would be pretty imposible.

URGENT - Guys do we want to display at this years Telford as looks like the EC may be giving our space away.
I think we will have to act on this quickly, I dont think very fair if we get no space due to one person being unavailable?
Whats the feeling??
