I agree with the above comments and also mention that those numbers you got are because you never advertised this Forums as a place to go and socialize with fellow IPMS members and share your work! All those numbers show is that the organization did not care enough for it's members to advertise and push this Forums so others like me could share our work and socialize with friends in the organization. Now that you are shutting this down; you're shutting down my opportunity to stay in touch with friends like Gil, Kevin, Gary and others who frequent these boards here and aren't on any other Forums. Sure I could see them at as Nationals but at this rate with all the Nationals only going to the east and central part of the country, I'm cut off from ever attending another one so that is an option that is also eliminated. For those who wish to stay in touch; I've posted three links to the best Forums I frequent and would love it if you could join me there on at least one of them. Otherwise; it was nice knowing you and given the lack of west coast Nationals for the foreseeable future; it might be time to reconsider my membership here since I won't ever have any more access to my friends here anymore. Not that I have any status or importance to this organization, but I still value the friendships and camaraderie of this organization that I will soon be losing through the loss of these Forums.

Before it’s too late, I want to thank Eric Aitala for his skillful and even handed oversight of the Forum for so long. It has been an important and useful and easy to navigate sight for our membership. Significantly, you have maintained order and civility- to a degree not often seen on the Internet. Well done! Respectfully and gratefully, Nick Filippone.

This is part of a series of books by Kagero on warships and I have a few of these and are truly indispensable when building a model of the subject matter. This book goings into great detail via illustrations of the Royal navy light Aircraft Carrier HMS Invincible –entering service in 1977. It served in the Falkland war in 1972. After the Falklands war it was to be sold to the Australian Navy but that was cancelled and remained in Royal Navy service until 2005. Before this HMS Invincible also served in the Gulf War in 1991 and 1993 The book is lavishly illustrated and shows every aspect of the ship in great detail. The book also comes with two large scale fold out poster size ship outline drawings in 1/400 scale The illustrations give so much details as one could wish for as a modeler or history buff.

I guess we should all leave the Internet then! That thing is a REAL mess!

It is, but FB in general has serious issues in terms of general content / AU slop, privacy and such... E

Actually, the IPMS/USA Facebook page is very well managed, thanks to Eugenie Ray and her team. It's a good place to interact around IPMS things.

Ah the unregulated mess that is FB.... I dont bother. And I created the Page and Group. E

IPMS-USA banter and pix forum activity is alive and well on FaceBook....!

Bottom Line Up Front: Building a Gunpla is for sure out of my lane. For those that don’t know, Gunpla is the kit, and Gundam refers to one of many TV shows. In other words, Gundam is animated Gunpla. This is the second Gunpla I have built. The first was a simple small kit for an in house model contest for my local club. Gundam Barbatos is a much more complex build. Having said that, assembly was straight forward as long as the instructions are followed closely. It turns into a nice kit, if you make a mistake, like I did, it is easy to recover from since no glue is involved. It is a fun build that doesn’t really take that much time to finish. Highly recommended for Gunpla modelers or for those modelers looking to try something different. For those looking for an enjoyable build, this is a good option. Highly recommended.
