Just wondering if anyone from on here has made the trek down to Invergiggle for the IPMS Nationals this weekend? Any photos or reports? ;D
Cheers.

Currently still down here. Will have photos and more info later in the week, when I get back to Auckland. I can tell you that Best RNZAF aircraft was a Tamiya 1/48 Mk.1 Spitfire in Deere's markings, Best Aircraft in Show was my 1/48 F/A-18C Hornet and best overall was a huge 1/16 diorama of a knocked out T-34 by Greg Blick from Chch. There are quite a few entries from Dave Lochead too, but he didn't make teh trek down. Have to say I like his 1/200 MC200 with spinach and meatballs camo (and yes, the "Red Nurse" was there too - perhaps the reason Dave didn't show in person  ). |

I'm looking forward to the photos and report Craig. I'm especially keen to see that 1/16th tank diorama.
What's the 'Red Nurse'?
Will you be attending the modelling competition at Cambridge in November? It sounds like we have lots of entries.

Nice photos, Compy: you did very well, as those indoor shots aren't easy to nail.

Image 44 was best in show and 55 was the highest placed aircraft in the NZ at war display. Note that the majority of the first images were in the display section (dark green table top) and not the actual competition entries (blue and pale greeny-yellow cloths underneath).
Still getting my images sorted. Will post later.
