Please realize that these photos do little justice to the incredible work on most of these models. I apologize for the lack of detail in some of the pictures (I got a new strobe and it washes out some of the detail... I'll try to do better next time). Attending an IPMS National always brings out conflicting feelings in me: I'm inspired yet intimidated by the entries. But at least this year I actually entered some models! They didn't win anything, but that was no surprise to me
The really cool thing is that each and every entry received a certificate recognizing the entry into the National Convention. This was a really nice surprise and a touch of class:
These photos are mere shadows of the real things. The quality of the craftsmanship really has to be seen to be believed. If you can, try to attend one of these conventions sometime. The next IPMS/USA National convention will be July 9-13, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio. For more info, write:

And it's not too early to start planning for Santa Clara in 1998!
