Shardik Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 On the strength of the responses to my '48 ford on this forum, I decided to enter it in my first model contest: Wing Nut Con. This event was sponsored by IPMS and a local club (Rob Wolfe, Denver IPMS). When the judging was done I wandered over to the class 27 custom auto' table and was amazed to find... Thanks to everyone who commented on the original thread; it was your encouragement that prompted me to enter.
modelmike Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Way to go never sell yourself short.....
Shardik Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks, Guys. There's another contest coming up next month, in Loveland, and I'm going to try to get my '37 Ford pickup done for that one. By the way, what's the proper etiquette / protocol regarding entering a model in subsequent competitions once it's won an award?
Darin Bastedo Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Congrats, but don't go around saying Harry is right. It might go to his head.
Fat Brian Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) It depends, usually you can get a few shows out of a model, especially since you didn't win 1st. Some clubs do have a no repeat rule where you car couldn't place in the Wing Nut show next year though. Edited September 16, 2012 by Fat Brian
peter31a Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Everyone does it differently. Some guys drag the same models out year after year. Most shows won't accept them if they've won something the year before. The view I've heard most often is the model being on the 'circuit' for a year so in other words your 48 would retire in time for next year's Wing Nut con.
Harry P. Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Congrats, but don't go around saying Harry is right. It might go to his head. Too late!
Austin T Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Congrats,the feeling of placing in a model show is just great.Almost the same feeling as finding a twenty on the sidewalk,It just makes your day.And for the contest just take it to any contest it hasn't been to before.
bigphoto Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 A well deserved congrats !!! And yes Harry has been known to be right every now and then!
martinfan5 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 A well deserved congrats !!! And yes Harry has been known to be right every now and then! Ohhh dont keep adding to it And congrats, my goal is to win one of my clubs award one day, but thats hard, a lot of great builds show up on the table every month, then there is mine
Ramfins59 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Congratulations on a well deserved award. I think that as long as you don't enter the model in the same contests again you'll be OK. Keep up the great work.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 In my book, Harry is always right! LOL!
Mercman Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I retire my entries before the next years original show. Doesn't matter if I placed or not.
Terry Sumner Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Cool! Feels good to have your hard work recognised a little bit doesn't it?
