  16. Matt, When I became the head judge at the K-Zoo contest the first year I was the HJ there was a lot of speculation that there was nepitism going on, also someone with a checkbook model was very angry when a OTB model placed better than his but the truth was the OTB model was virtually flawless, so I with several others involved with putting the show on came up with a plan that has helped immensly where by the when a person signs up for judging we ask them to put their club affiliation on the sign up sheet then the HJ sets up the teams so that there are hopefully no two members from the same club on a team and newbie judges get put with experienced people and it has virtually eliminated most issues. However not everyone is going to be happy at all events but so far it has helped greatly. You may want to contact that host chapter about the judging and suggest that they contact me or the West Michigan chapter about the info I have passed on as it has been picked up by several other chapters. And next time if you have photos of the build process put them with too and don't forget the mirror next time Please don't let this sour you totally against the IPMS contests.
  17. I caught part of the the first hit on TV while leaving for work thought it was a commercial for a movie then it was on the radio, when I got to work I asked one of the employees to go get his little tv that we watched sporting events on and stayed tuned all day. It was one of the most horrible things to happen and we should never forget even justice is finally done!!
  18. Check Ebay for an old Airfix/MPC kit or diecast model. BTW silver looks nice Also check with Carrera or Scalectrix for replacement parts.
  19. Hey Matt, Here is my .02 pennies, I understand your unhappiness with how the judging went as it can be very frustrating as there seems to always be something about the judging at all contests that someone disagrees with. I am a judge at an IPMS event and also did a stint as the head judge at the same event. That being said most IPMS events have judges sign in sheet for folks to volunteer to judge, here is what I have suggested to some that have had issues with how the judging went, basically if you enter in more than one catagory maybe not enter one or two catagories and volunteer to help judge those catagories and that way share your knowledge of the subject(s) so as to make better judges out of everyone concerned and who knows you may learn something too!! especially if you also help out with say aircraft, armor or what ever. As an aside by being a judge with automotive knowledge you can also point out models that have been place in the wrong catagory. Also please note that IPMS contest rules are based upon fit and finish foremost. Hopefully this helps to ease some of the pain, and like I said its just my .02 pennies!
