Yesterday I attended the Indy contest ( 2 hour drive from Dayton Ohio ). This is one of my favorite venues for a model contest.
The only category open for me was the "Miscellaneous" . However, it was packed with lots of stuff and no room for my paper models. So I talked to the organizer and they got me an empty table in a great location and set up my display. I also handed out lots of flyers for our upcoming Dayton paper convention May 12th.
here is my paper display
and I entered a single plastic model I built ( A Kyushu Shinden pusher plane )
It was a fun event and many folks stopped to admire and ask questions. One of the judges came over to let me know how he liked the models alot. I thanked him, and shared my opinion that IPMS really does not know how to deal with paper. My objective was to show another aspect of modeling.
We may have some new folks come over to Dayton.
here is the flyer:
