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.

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.

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.

Okay, I'll look into it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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.
