Mid Michigan Model Makers Show & Contest Pictures

Post by cbaltrin »

I don't usually go to shows, but my two youngest boys wanted me to take them to the local IPMS show today in Bay City MI. Here is a link to some pictures I took. Hope you guys enjoy!

Went through some. Still plenty to see, though. Good stuff, great pics! Thanks.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Same here. Went through 2 rows. Kind of a pain to keep pushing back to return to photo album.

Looks like some good builds on display there!

That snow-covered P-38 is pretty cool. At times, I've wanted to cover up some of my work like that too! :grin: That gives me some ideas... :wink:

Honestly... that P-38 Lightning winter scene is an overkill. I believe he was trying to replicate this scene:

Good option when you screw up a canopy... I prefer the tarp method :giggles:

Yea, My only complaint about Postimage site is that there is no 'next' button when viewing a gallery item! I usually just Control-click each thumbnail so they open in a new tab, then control-tab through all the open tabs (on a windows machine anyway). I am sure Google Chrome has a plug-in to aid in such scenarios also...
