Thanks for posting, Rob.  Too many airplanes for me.

The auto section was kind of light to be honest. No catagories that I noticed. Folks were just putting all their models in one spot like your FAST shows. Some good work though.

seems like all IPMS shows are light on automotive builds

I myself won't go to this show. Why? Because ever since Ray Ferguson left Orlando I.P.M.S for south Florida,It hasn't been the same.

Thanks for sharing, for a south florida builder, having shows to go its a pleasure. I thank IMPS Orlando for their annual show. Is one that I always want to go. If you are a car builder from the areas around Orlando Fl, put it in your calendar and build something to show. It's not about the trophies or worthless medals, it's about keeping the hobby alive. And by doing that we can all make the car table better. I tune out negativity and that has help me concentrate on the main thing, "my love for the hobby"

And the guys that participated on the automobile category, listen!!! I enjoyed all of your work guys, thank you. I was able to take a breather from my very hectic life. I took my only two models I was able to finish a year ago and proudly parked them next to yours. Hope I can take more next year if God permits.

if anyone els took more pictures please post them here. I forgot my camera.

 

Thank you Mr. Mattis

You are quite welcome.

This was my first trip to modelpalooza, with some friends from our club. While the automotive section was a little light there were a lot of quality builds. I had a good time, supported some of the vendors and would go again.

I agree we should support the model events, and I agree with what was said earlier, it's about keeping the hobby alive. Forget about all the drama and just go to have a good time, meet some talented builders and maybe even learn a new technique.  It takes a lot of effort to put on an event. 

I wonder if the participation would increase if it was a one day event, possibly starting an hour earlier and staying an hour later ?  It would eliminate a lot of costs involved to those of us that travel, hotel & food as examples. Just a thought.

Thanks for posting the pictures.
