One alternative is Tamiya - either the acrylic thinned with lacquer thinner or their lacquer decanted from the spray can. Both give a nice white and dry in a few hours and rock hard in half a day or less Dave

To support Dan, here's an example of a 3D printed Godzilla fresh off the printer generated by a program called Z Brush The technology is here and if you look at the fact that this years George Lee award went to a 3D printed Lunar Module, it says a lot Dave

FWIW, this is a real person also Pepper was based on Schlitzie the Pinhead (on the left) Dave

IPMS USA already received the kit for review so you may see some updates of the build posted soon Dave

I knew I saw things somewhere. Check out this web site: https://shop.lastcavalry.com/books-mags-and-dvds/?mc_cid=ada12838dc&mc_eid=ec10c2b809 Great store too Dave

Sweet. Love the movie too Dave

No problem. Print media is really suffering from newspapers to magazines at this point Dave

Not that I am aware of but there are several forums like Planet Figure that are good Dave

LOL. I love it. Big fan of the big guy Dave

Did you email the office manager? She usually replies in less than a day. manager@ipmsusa.org Dave

Letter is completely false about getting rid of product lines. Check Testors home page Dave

Nice. collection. I love David Whitford's kits- wish I could paint and sculpt like him too Dave

Actually, David...we just don't care. I will not spend hardly anytime on references or research because, to me, its boring. Period. If I can't Google something and find an answer in 30 seconds, it isn't worth my time and interferes with the fun of building and painting. Of course I know people who research things to the extreme and they seem to enjoy it so cool but for me, no thanks to research. And to me more inclusive as a group, we need to include both Dave

Here's the IPMS review of the kit http://www.ipmsusa.org/reviews/Archive/Kits/Aircraft/Trumpeter_32_P-38L/Trumpeter_32_P-38L.htm Dave

That's why realism is NOT and should not be a judging criteria..ever Dave

Very cool. Never heard of the company but a great build and videos Dave

Category 730 was Vignettes in Chattanooga Dave

1. You become chartered by meeting the requirements through the DLC(director of local chapters). This includes all officers being IPMS members and at least 5 total current IPMS members. You fill out a form and a few and your chartered. I think the charter is for a year. 2. One benefit is that your chapter acquires the national insurance and can get a certificate which covers shows or club meetings if required. It also gives you access to the regional coordinator to help with things 3. If the member joins the chapter, the fills it out on recharter form. You can also get a list of IPMS members in your area with email addresses to help form or grow. We don't give phone numbers. Dave

I don't like their paints anymore so no effect for me. Using Tamiya and others Dave

I think the discussions on this thread are part of the PR problem. People discussing and arguing about a hobby most just want to have fun turns people away Dave

Very cool. I am working on the 1/32 kit from Zoukei Mura for an IPMS review and this is great for me to compare Dave
