Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

What, may I ask, does this subject have to do with plastic models or IPMS??
Because it is asked in the "About the IPMS/USA National Convention" sub forum? And the restaurant is less than a mile from the 2023 convention hotel?

Since most of my stash is in banker's boxes, I number the boxes and have a location field in my spread sheet to indicate which box a kit is stored. I also have columns for Classification (aircraft, armor, sci-fi, etc) and "Manufactured by/Series" (Douglas, North American, Grumman, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc). By filtering the data, this helps me quickly see if I already have a particular subject in my stash. I also list condition of the kit, i.e. bag kit or whether it is started, and in the notes I will list any aftermarket I may have for it.

Is the wooden front bumper an option in the kit or scratch built add-on? Your rust holes in the body are very well done. Nice job!

Seems to work for them. Or do we still have something against furriners and their nefarious ideas? 😉
Only when they make sense. 😁

Unfortunately, the PS line is designed for Lexan RC car bodies and even on the RC forums they can't find anything to safely take it off without damaging the body.

All I can hear is Jerry Reed saying "Hang on t' yo ass, Fred!"
Neat build, Ron!

Woodland Scenics does several colors of stripes in varying widths in dry transfer.

CA would be an issue for me.
Just make sure you have some debonder handy. 😁

When some of the 2010 Nats crew approached Albuquerque back in 2011/12 about bidding for a convention, the reason they eventually declined is because the only facility that could hold the contest and vendor room was the Albuquerque Convention Center and at that time, the Convention Center hadn't been refurbished since the last time Albuquerque hosted the Nats (1994?). And as near as I can tell, it still hasn't been refurbished.

Well said, Neal.

I'm not sure if it is the correct yellow, but Woodland Scenics makes dry transfer letters and numbers.

Hi Mark,
I have that kit in my stash, also. Let me know if you still need a copy.

The one time I played with it (a few decades ago) I vaguely remember it curling up at the edges when I tried to make a flat sheet of it and if you go too thick it can shrink and crack.

Hi Len,
Regarding the banquet, is there a Plan B if buffets are still on the "not recommended" list of activities?

According to Google Maps it is showing Permanently Closed.

As I have been told several times, you are the one person that has to look at the model every time you walk by. My suggestion would be, whatever color looks right to your eye IS the right color.
If someone tells me the color or a detail of some sci-fi subject i have built isn't correct, my response is "It is in my universe."

I am currently using an approximate 50/50 mix of Mr Color 311 (Gray FS36622) and 316 (White FS17875 [gloss - because its all I have]) on both the Reliant and Enterprise. I don't know how "accurate" it is but to my eyes it looks better than pure white, especially since I won't be using the aztec decals.

There are minutes for January 2020 in the IPMS/USA Topics group.

My "go to" method for something like that is using a two part epoxy putty/clay such as Aves Apoxie Sculpt, Magic Sculpt or Kneadatite.

As I suspected, I have several of the 2010 Decal sheets. Send me a PM if you are still interested and we will make it happen.

Hi David,
Let me check my stash. I know I have several of the 2010 sheets and doubt I would have given away all the 1/48 subjects (I mainly build 1/72). If I have a set, they are yours.

Good question. One I have thought about but never researched before. A search brought me to this article:

I found this overlay on MapPorn. Its missing a few countries, but it gives a general idea.

Looking for US white letter decals
in General Modeling

Only suggestion I can come up with is Woodland Scenics makes white dry transfer numbers and letters in 45 degree Gothic. They don't have 5/32" but do have 1/8" and 3/16" which hit around the size you are looking for.
