Gil Thank you for a quantitative answer and clear direction regarding this "Open Judging" system. IPMS E Board I look forward to the survey and the ability to voice my opinion regarding the two systems as put forth. Regards Bill

Greetings The two replies offer more "definition " than anything in the original posting. Thank you Barry and Gil for clear and detailed information. Your replies shall be 100% more effective in informing members of some of the details regarding "Open Judging" and 1-2-3 Judging. As President of Three Rivers IPMS, I will do my best to ensure our club members are reading this forum and actively involved in this discussion. A. IPMS E-Board please try for an open mind regarding this subject.The survey looks to be a step. B. Thank you Gil and Barry for your time. Regards Bill Dedig

Hello I look forward to the Survey. I am Glad I am an Informed IPMS Judge, and familiar with the details involved in Open Judging (G_S_B). If i was depending on the above Definitions or explanations I would be hard pressed to make any type of informed decision. I would hope individuals involved in this "discussion /Survey would please look up the definition of : "DESCRIPTION" and "LOBBY CHAMPION" So disappointing in these items to be used to INFOM membership of different systems used in the modeling contest world.

As Both Bill Thaw and myself are Pittsburgh natives, I decided on one of his aircraft. For those not familiar with Mr Thaw he was one of the founding members of the Lafayette Escadrille. This is the 1/48 Eduard Nieuport. Kit markings for National Insignias and Thaws Markings which was the "T" and the Indian Head was provided by fellow Modeler Tim Swisher (Local Thaw expert) Used Alclad High Speed Silver for the doping I used Uschi Line for Rigging and Bob's buckle eyelets for attachments,Albion Alloys Turnbuckles also used. This mount of Thaws had two guns and this is the over-wing Lewis I choose to build. Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome Regards Bill

Just tossing this out. I believe there was a B-25 used as camera aircraft with that type of front turret for Camera position. Is it possible the Photo bird made the Movie?? Who knows. Cheers Bill

Hello Mike
A thought from a Senior modeler(65).
Any concept of posting notices with Award Winning models  for viewing Saturday during Show hours.
1. Cards with models stating Award Winner. (1a) Not what the award is ,only that it is a winner.
2. Concerns about Banquet attendees are mute as awards are announced after Banquet.
3. Models leaving if not winners is a risk but as a National attendee I am there for the whole convention ,not just winning an award. (3a) Registration rules state models are not to leave showroom until after Awards ceremony.
4. Allow much more review of show results, rather than just a brief slide photo and glimpse before packed Saturday night.
5. This method of display has been accomplished in numerous shows worldwide, including World Model Expo in Telford England.
Cheers
Bill
