    New Orleans is very expensive, Ed. I've explored Mobile but manpower is a huge obstacle to overcome here on the gulf coast. We have two clubs here in the Panhandle and 2 around Nola, with nothing in between. A better option would be somewhere close, but then there is a lack of available space and manpower.

    Mike, FYI your tip (click on the guy I the upper right) worked when I went back in this morning. It didn't work the first time for whatever reason, but I was on my tablet yesterday and PC today.

    We are in the middle of the holidays and at the end of the chapter rechartering period (but it always drags out) Marie is just one person, please bear with us as she deals with all of this.

    Given the tales I've heard, their service was only "bested" by Squadron at the end. They should go after a few others, too (again, based on anecdotal evidence given in many Internet posts)

    Silicon Valley Scale Modellers has a gallery every year, as they coordinate all the photos for the awards. This year's are at http://svsm.org/gallery/las_vegas2021 It seems this is the address for every year, then gets changed to an archive address (like chattanooga2019)

    Or American Generals for that matter. Milley has 54 ribbons and devices if you count them (not including Spec Forces, Ranger, Combat Infantryman badges plusothers). Most senior military leaders have many after a long career, no matter their nation. Would you rather them only have the new "I made it thru Boot Camp" ribbon? Was there a point beyond comparing IPMS members to enemies of the USA?

    Is that the diorama I Savanah at 8th AF Museum?

    So, no painting? Bare plastic? Do you need a photo ofan old Aurora model with raised lines and the instructions telling what colors to paint inside the lines? And, yes, this discussion is now about OOB, not GSB ... seems to be a trend.

    From a judge's viewpoint, many are mistaken in thinking bigger equals better, but from a judging standpoint, a bigger diorama simply means more opportunities to goof something up. They also forget that the story is equal to construction per the rules. From a show staff point of view, there is only so much table room to share, as most tables are only 30" wide, 3' already puts it over the edge and risks being bumped or damaged by spectators - or "cheats" the guy on the other side of a two-table spread out of 6" of display space.

    If it's old enough, why not require hand painting (airbrushes weren't widespread yet) and the use of period brushes and glues? No more Revell Type-S cement? Testors was around back then!

    Don, what issue are you thinking about for the referendum?

      Well, there have been Gundam specific categories added FINALLY

      Here in R3, I have triple splits in Gundams a few times now.  It is the single largest segment of the hobby now

      Yes, we're taking some steps in the right direction - but I was at the Chattanooga NCC meeting where getting those Gundam categories was fought tooth and nail - when as you say its the only part of the hobby that is growing. I was amazed when my 30 year old daughter who never had any interest in my modeling bought some pricey Gundam kits - because those are her childhood memories.

      I've been spending a lot of time in the Facebook wastelands (moderating the IPMS group) and I see lots of the supposedly non-existent young modelers getting into the hobby; and they are running blogs and podcasts with huge followings and writing how-to books and inventing products - and they by-and-large don't think highly of IPMS. If we can make them welcome I think the organization has a future beyond my own 😉

      From the Peanut Gallery...

      Suppose there was a judging item/factor for 'Special Effects,' maybe parsed out between electronic and non-electronic (paint, etc), disply setting/mirrors, etc. Or maybe make a separate category for SF (i.e. 'inflight' display of aircraft) where the entrant selects that category of consideration?

    A buddy is trying to reserve the Embassy, but the room rate is showing at $303, not $157 Is Hilton having an issue?

    Probably because nobody outside the Omaha club is on the whitelist. Patience, grasshopper

    Just got this from Scott, he said it was good to post as he's been on the road: The website is being worked and should be up soon. We have total control over when the reservations go live. It won’t happen until we are ready. Still scheduled for 15 Oct at 0800 Central time.
