P.S. Rob,everyone here that posted is correct.Because it is their point of view. I have seen some great car models that have not won.The cars posted here are super models. I guess it is just like anything else that is a competition ,sometimes you do not agree with the ref or umpire but this is where it stands. Just build from your heart. Man you build a great model! This is why NNL events are really cool.Very relaxed. People get to display their models,talk car talk and have fun. IPMS is fun,but you have to be able to take criticism. When I saw a IPMS judge use a flashlight,mag glasses and a measuring instrument, boy that was hard to take. My heart sunk. But when I saw Mr,Chans formula 1 ferrari,I knew I had to step it up.The ferrari was not only perfect in build quality,it had the best detail I have ever seen.It does make you a better modeler.I have a very long way to go to measure up to Mr.Chans work.I just keep working at it and have fun along the way. Keep up the great work. Regards, Bruce

Great build!! Rob what kind of contest? IPMS,NNL or other? NNL shows are for car guys. They know cars and or have a cool 1:1 cars or both.NNL Events are very cool! I know IPMS as I have entered cars here in the west coast and phoenix. IPMS people are all about the quality of the build. There is a order. Is there any glue showing? Gaps showing? Are there any unwanted seams and pinmarks?All tires on the ground.Alignment is very important. Is the finish good?, either flat or gloss. Then, if all has been met ,this is when they will consider the build. At this time ,if there is a close tie, then details are looked at. Build quality is essential then detail. I have learned alot. My first build was a 32 ford that had so much detail that I thought It could not lose.Boy was I wrong!!!Then I met a guy named Dai and John. These guys have taught me everything I needed to know about IPMS.They are both national winners. With their help, I have 56 awards in 14 contests and I have just started to build. I have only 13 car builds to my name. The first 32 ford I built, has never entered another show. So my other 12 car builds are the ones that have won. 31 first places.6 best auto, and the rest of my awards are 2nds 3rds and best paint awards. This has happened in the last 2 years. My suggestion; if you are going to a IPMS show, is to hook up with someone who knows IPMS. I Hope this helps. Great modeling!!! Regards Bruce
