Howdy Chris! Welcome to IPMS/USA! A suggestion..... check the IPMS/USA site to see if there is a local IPMS chapter near you. Joining a club with other experienced modellers will give you quite a boost---- learning new skills, viewing the work done by experienced modellers.....and just having an enjoyable time at the meetings.

The launch pad paintjob is outstanding! As to Monkey Man...no clue!

Sorry to hear about the soft spot in your head....hope it heals quickly. Your effort on this project has resulted in a well done model!

3.....2.....1.........Blast off!

An interesting purchase.......a blast from the past and those "aged" kits are very enjoyable to assemble. Well done!

Contact Tim Robb. He is the Regional Coordinator for Region 6, and Austin is in that Region. Tim's email address and phone # are listed on the IPMS website but to save you some "search" time here they are: Oh, and Tim is a member of the Austin club. Name: Tim Robb Email Address: timrobb90@gmail.com Phone Number: 512-214-9665

George, there are a number of IPMS chapters in Texas...Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas....and others. You can go to the IPMS webpage and find "contact info" on these chapters. Perhaps one is located in your neck of the woods. Also, there are a good number of 1-day "conventions" hosted by some of these chapters. Perhaps one is near where you are located.......

I see what you mean about figure's face. Reminds me of my Senior Class picture from high school.

Done, and very well done! I have a handful of these old classics...........love that clear plastic display stand!

I see what you mean about the tracks....Paint job looks interesting!

Scott, thanks for the explanation. It should be noted that your message does not disregard any criticism in the manner in which the show was conducted. It simply offers a more in-depth view of the event. Those who have not volunteered to work on the Leadership Team of past conventions may not have a clear view of the working relationship between the Leadership Team and the Event Site staff. While the Leadership Team and the Event site Management Group cooperate to make the event a success, there are issues that come up which are not in line with what the Convention Leadership Team would prefer. And, in some cases, the Leadership Team simply has to work in the environment set by the site hosts. Entry times into the Banquet Hall and departure times from various rooms are among those points which sometimes cause difficulty for attendees, not to mention the hotel staff and the Leadership Team. A BIG THANKS to the Hampton Team and to the volunteers who supported the Leadership Team.

Great job! These kits were so much fun!

Nope...while I have a very vague memory of such a kit I could not say with certainty that I ever saw the kit on a shelf.....but then I lived in Guam when the kit first came out....then moved to an Air Force base in the frozen tundra of Montana. I'm quite happy with the black, blue, silver and red knights in my display case.

Wow! After all these years I was never aware of a Golden Knight!

Well done! I've got the four Knights "on guard" in my War Room.
