Austin T Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I might be able to attend in August and was wondering if I might see some familiar faces there.
Jantrix Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Well my face might not be that familiar, but I'm planning on being there. I've never done a national contest and I'm itching to try one.
Austin T Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 just remember, in order to compete, you need to be an IPMS Member I'm good with that,just sent out money to renew my membership.
Jantrix Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 just remember, in order to compete, you need to be an IPMS Member Wait ................. what? Man that sucks.
Austin T Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Wait ................. what? Man that sucks. Not that bad,The membership is 20$ you get discounts into any IMPS show,most hobby shops,and a magazine in the mail.It's a pretty good deal.
tooltas Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 i would but whats the day's missin is if ur not a member.....
Barbo Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I am also going to be there with Puerto Rico's IPMS chapter, it will be easy to identify me, i use a wheelchair, so , see you guys soon....Barbo

crazyjim Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 If I read the IPMS info correctly, you need to be an IPMS member ($20.00 annually) and then pay a $25.00 registration to get your builds into the contest. I'm going be spending all day at the show/vendors/seminars, while Marcia goes to DisneyWorld. Then we're going to hook up for DisneyWorld at night together.
Jantrix Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Man, that's a $45 contest, and that's before I even get to the gas cost. I'll have to think on this.
modeltruckmafia Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Most of the Model Car Creations of South Florida members will be there. We will also have a club table with some of our models on it.
Austin T Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 I just now noticed that too Rob,look how much the banquet & meal costs!60 big ones!The good thing is that it is optional.
crazyjim Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 The pricing IPMS set up is a ridiculous! Especially in this economy. You would think they would try to keep the prices down so more people could attend. IPMS has to be making thousands of dollars on this deal.
Austin T Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Gotta remember that this convention is on DISNEY property,That's gotta be a sucker punch to the gonaz to rent a DISNEY convention center for THREE days.
Terry Sumner Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Don't knock it till you've been to one. It's well worth $25.00!!! And so is the IPMS membership fee. The best models in the world come to the Nats! (and that would not include mine! LOL)
58 Impala Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I went to the National Convention last time it was in Orlando. I'm definitely going again. Even if you don't enter a model, you have never seen so many great models in one place.
Austin T Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 This just in guys,I might not be able to make it.I will not know till around the week of the show.
Mister Twister Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 If you can afford to be there it will be worth the while to attend a show of this caliber. Its so close for me I can't afford not to be there. I hope to meet some of you guys that weekend also!
Dave Van Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I had plans on going.......then got a FOUR MONTH JURY DUTY notice in the mail. Anyone else have jury duty this long??? I really needed to go....was going to vendor....but now jury duty #2 in 5 years....both 4 months!!! I think this is a bit long......in NC it was one week every 5-6 years.
