Kaleb Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Here is my first show, with first place. My wife's first complete model took third last year This one took third as well I would love to build the mustang and Mercedes again.
Joker Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I don't really enter contest..I build for display. My club buddies twisted my arm at a local show. My name was called..I was daydreaming.. they gave me the stink eye...LOL First place movie car.. this old shop truck won at local show too Online H.A.M.B winner last year Joker
Green Duster Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I got a first place in a truck class with my Mini Winnie! At a local car show model contest.
Ron35369 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The only model contest I ever entered & I took home First In Show for my 61 Dodge Dart Phoenix.
Repstock Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Of all my awards, this Best of Show from a large IPMS show means the most to me. It's hard to win in a mostly military environment. Some of the military models in that show were incredible!
CJ1971 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Only show, back in 2005, that I ever entered... Got Best Paint with this Charger (fingernail polish) Cheers Cliff
Steve Prideaux Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 This model, was given a Staff Members pick, at the 2011 and 2012 NNL West. A great honor for me personally. Steve Prideaux
rmvw guy Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The only time I ever won a contest and made it in November 2012 issue of MCM.
Tom Geiger Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Here's a few I built over the years that have won awards. They've all been in the magazines too. The two trucks were in a Car Modeler article back in the 1990s. I still build but I don't really get into competition any more.
impcon Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Of all my awards, this Best of Show from a large IPMS show means the most to me. It's hard to win in a mostly military environment. Some of the military models in that show were incredible! I can't help but always just stare in awe when ever I see this model. This is the style of bus that I rode on in high school and you can only imagine how sweet it looked to see over thirty of those rigs diagonally parked, each awaiting it's compliment of passengers. Those silver "noses" always impressed me and this is my favorite style of International. The workmanship on this bus is incredible and it's no wonder that it took first place! You even have the "gas chamber green" interior and I see nothing that is out of place or lacking here. VERY, VERY nice!!!!!! It always puts a smile on my face when I see this one. Thank you for posting and congratulations on a build that screams "talent"!!!! AAAAA+++++ and then some!
Agent G Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Here's a few from over the years. Some have been featured in MCM and SAE. G
Dominik Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Wow! There are beautiful winners. Most impressive for me are all the policecars. They look very good. And some nice Chevy 210...this shoolbus is awsome! Edited January 21, 2013 by Dominik
Foxer Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 This hood and old slide scan is all that's left of a '40 Ford Sedan I entered in a local hobby shop contest in 1962 when I was 16. It won the Custom class and only lost best in show because it was said to be "unroadable". whatever that meant. It did scale out to be only 48" high after the chop, channel and section on 13" wheels! The placing surprised me as the Candy Green paint was a disaster with dark blobs all over it.
Jantrix Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 For years the 1st place trophy eluded me, but my last few completed models have brought them home. 1st Place Rat Rod at Jaxcon 1st Place Miscellaneous at Jaxcon
Platerpants Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The story is what was the winner of this contest. i beleieve it was a 2003 hobby outlook win it was youth autos 1st place i got a hobby town 20$ gift card from them. Story talked about how the truck got to be so destroyed. after the picture my then 1 year old brother knocked it off the table and it broke, i rebuilt it and never lost hope in building models. i was like 9 or 10 in the picture. my parents were so happy that when the issue came out they bought 10 copies for family and friends.

gtx6970 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Outside of model club meeting contests ( of which I am no longer a member, and haven't been for some time ) , I haven't entered a model contest in years. This is the last one I built as a 'contest' model . With exception to a few builds shown on these forum boards no one sees my builds outside of my household. This car was built using the 'then new' AMT Daytona kit. requiring a lot of work to get the nose to look right . With a chassis from the also then new AMT 1969 GTX kit. Edited January 21, 2013 by gtx6970
