catdude01 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Posted August 2, 2014 I wanted to paint in a different color some parts to make the kit more attractive, so I use Tamiya German Grey and Medium Blue , here more or less the results.

catdude01 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 This was taken at the Ipms Virginia Nationals.
802chrisg Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Hi Padro, Great looking model,so how did you do at the nationals? Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:
catdude01 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Posted September 2, 2014 Hi Chris: Well, not as I expected, not even a single award!!! but that's ok, this is a competition and you need to go with both expectations. My kids also have a great success, they bring 4 awards!, so the other kids, for a total of 8. So we are thinking to change our name to Ipms Borinqueneers JUNIOR!! :D . Also for the next time I will bring less kits, its really hard and costly to bring it to the states. We pay $600 for a bulk box to bring the kits from Puerto Rico to Virginia. We also saw some fishy stuff going on in the competition with some categories, but you know what? you just look at the results list of awards and you will find out. So No biggie, for me just saying. Hope next group take note on that to avoid it. On the bright side, I took many pictures of great works this year, have some beers with Chris Mrosko, writer of the book Building Dioramas, stretch hands with WWII veteran Bill Greenwell from the "Feather Merchant", Master modeler Ricardo Rivas, Tony Rivera,Frank Stansell and found the first 3 items of my top list! Meng 1/35 D9r Bulldozer, Meng 1.35 Latest Pickup, and the book Airplanes In Scale, the greatest guide. Hi Padro, Great looking model,so how did you do at the nationals? Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:
