Jaxcon 2012

Here are pictures from the IPMS show in Jacksoville yesterday. Another great show with plenty of models on the table. There were over 160 car/truck related subjects on the tables, which is great for an IPMS contest. I didn't photograph all of the cars as some of them were repeaters from past shows. Overall I took over 500 pictures. The link below will take you to the album, however I have only downloaded the vehicle pictures so far. Heavy Commercial builds were abundant at this show, which was cool to see. The venue was packed and the vendor room was full. Great deals all day long. I found plenty of great deals to purchase and I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing a Meobius Lonestar, sealed, for $40. Awesome day all around.

By the way, check out the four Beetles (large scale). They were Barbie cars converted into different forms of modern Beetles. The builder did an excellent job of making them look like regular kit builds.

Wayne, thanks for bringing back the eye candy. There were more than a few builds that made my jaw drop like this one:

Great job on the pics Wayne! It was a really fun day and the heavy commercial class was inspiring to me. I may have to break out a truck kit now.

This was my 1st Ipms show and only my second show ever and me and my brother had a blast. I am blown away by how may amazing builds were there. The vendors were great and the show ran like clockwork. Great job guys. It was great to see the heavy commercial class be so strong. Trucks are making a comeback and manufacturers like round2 and moebius are noticing. I also took home my first award ( 1st in heavy commercial ) with my paystar logging truck and was completely surprised! I look forward to some more events and the nationals coming up seeing as they are in my backyard in Disney.

Again great job by all who entered and had part in this show.
