route66modeler Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Gregg I will be there. And would help with anything needed. Hi gregg, A good friend of mine from LA is going. I'm checking the budget to see if I can make it. Are you going to be there the whole time? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Might be there. Waiting to hear if the 935's engine will be there. If so, I am bringing the rest of the car. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Dan You guys going to have a meeting around the time of the show? Would be great to get together again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Gregg, No formal club meetings then; Moonlight meetings are 07-17 and 08-21, Cactus (spinoff of Moonlight) is tonight and Wed. 08-11 (at Casa Baker) if you'll be around the extra few days you are more than welcome. However, many of the guys who you know from Moonlight will be hanging around the IPMS vendor expo/swap meet. We can certainly arrange a get-together. Let's see what we can put together.

Pete J. Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Ok, I am confirmed good. This is a bit like a race team. The body is coming in from California and the engine from Pennsylvania. It is really weird when you have to coordinate parts for a model! Well, it will be good to get an overdose of plastic. See ya there.

AzTom Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I was planning on going Thursday. Will everything be set up that early or would Fri be a better day? AzTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I plan on going Thursday, From what I've seen on the IPMS web site it looks like everything is set to start at 9:00 AM on Thursday. Is this the case or is there other information that I'm not aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the case or is there other information that I'm not aware of? Hey David, I missed you at the Desert Classic, maybe we can meet here. My plans are for sometime in the morning. I'm pretty sure the vendors will be set up, just not sure if all of the models will be entered in the contest early Thursday. I was planning on setting up here but several weeks ago I read on here the vendor area was sold out. I found out early this week it was NOT sold out but now I don't have time to get ready for it. It should be fun being on the other side of the table and having time to look at the contest models. AzTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 On the road at 8am Thursday. Should be in Phoenix by 2:30 or so. Just in time to hit the heat of the day. See you all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Okay, I'm now going on Friday. The Grandson had too much going on Today. I set up at the Regional IPMS in Mesa a few years ago and there were a few cars in that contest. AzTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffone20 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I might be going today some time after 2:30pm but it's not a sure thing. Would like to go on Friday & Saturday too but with just moving and stuff I'm not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) There were only a handful of cars entered yesterday, but there was a correspondingly small number of aircraft/armor/ships entered as well. The majority will probably hit the tables today; and, because registration ends tomorrow afternoon, everything will be on the tables by then. The vendor area is smaller and less populated than 2004 (last time International was here). A few car kit sellers, but not much aftermarket. Just one aftermarket car vendor, selling Studio 27 and high-end foreign resin. Spent some time visiting with the Revell factory rep; very interesting conversation and they have a nice display. Test shot of the Audi A4 kit on the table. Boxes for the upcoming Cutlass Supreme convertible and the funny cars, etc. Lot of good things coming from them. They WANT TO KNOW what we want to see in plastic! Edited August 5, 2010 by Danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am uploading my pics from today, Friday, as I write this. They will be at: IPMS Photos If you get the Page Not Found message, give it a while, as they are being uploaded via Stick Modem It was a good turnout today Pete Johnson's 935 is in final form, and it is WOW oh WOW!!! Pete, what a great job!!! Mark Anderson's McLaren was incredible, and it's 1/43 scale!! All the way from Puerto Rico, Jorge Mustafa's Ferrari F-189 was one of the nicest ones of that car I have ever seen done. The number of cars may have been smaller than what we are used to at our big shows, but the quality was top notch! It was great to see the AZ gang there, sorry I was so in an out all day. Or should I say up and down. Matthew Usher from Fine Scale is shooting right next to me, and I always enjoy spending time and talking with my long-time friend. Hope to see a lot of you there tomorrow. Great show, and thanks for all the support. Don't forget to get your new Black '32 Five-Window shirts while you are there too!
