I'm trying to think of things that only marginally qualify for the theme. So far I have the Quad 50 half track (it turned a few flying things into falling things), the Fall Guy truck (It seemed to do a bit of flying during the TV show), and a few helicopters (do they really fly, or just beat the air into submission?).

This will be my problem (if I attend...which isn't looking too likely at this point).

For the last 5 years I have built nothing but ground vehicles!

And I've already brought (to previous cons) all of my aircraft models.

"Flying Things" ?

Is not a 25 pounder projectile "flying"? Or a tank shell, etc?

Dave -

The theme is just to get people's minds working. It is certainly not meant to be restrictive or exclusive of other types of models. To quote the 2019 award rules: "The primary purpose of the International Paper Modelers' Convention is the enjoyment and promotion of the art and craft of paper model design and building; the sharing of wisdom, tips, and techniques; the trading of stories about the craft and its artisans; and the sharing of camaraderie and good fellowship. Awards are bestowed in that spirit."

The definition of the theme is very loose. I am not sure how Linda and the new awards committee will handle things, but the definition that the outgoing committee left on the table at the last IPMS was: "FLYIN’ THINGS: Peregrine falcons, Montgolfier balloons, Alberto Santos-Dumont’s Demoiselle, aluminum overcasts, tin geese, snow geese, dandelion seeds, kites, paper darts, pterosaurs, birds, bats, fairydiddles, bladerunner spinners, and Exocoetidae. Let your imagination soar with the 2020 IPMC theme of Flyin’ Things!"

The theme is not meant to exclude paper models of any variety. We look forward to seeing flying' things, but ground vehicles would also be most welcome, as well as buildings, ships, space ships, automata, science fiction and fantasy figures, animals, vegetables, minerals, sushi, dead chickens, and anything else that can be modeled in paper.

If it is feasible for you to attend and you want to do so, please do. I'd love to see you and any models you might bring.

Don

Yeah...but I hadn't planned on bringing Ammo!!!
They tend to frown on that at the Border Customs place.

Far as I know I’ll still be living in Herndon in November. If we want to try to put together an excursion to the Manassas battlefield I’m happy to offer my services as I’m a park volunteer staffer. I could possibly even do a tour in period costume.
