That's why I was surprised when they dropped the paper model categories. It's obvious that the chapter has several talented, and prolific, paper modelers. I really had a good time, last month, getting to see you and David again, and meeting the other paper guys for the first time. Looking forward to getting my own build of my Family Truckster done and taking it back.

My old IPMS chapter eliminated the paper model categories from their contests, even though they have several paper modeling members, including David Okamura and Bob Penikas. Paul M. Hi Paul, I must add: How often do you see an IPMS member hand his plastic model to a visitor for a hand held inspection? Jim Nunn - Master paper modeler, places his creations in IPMS Regional competitions and walks away with awards. His entries are always surrounded with competitors, visitors, and regular rivet counters, closely examining his entry. Comments such as "Scratch Built," "Kit Bashed" and the look of horror when they are told...it is paper. Often as Jim talks with a newbee you will see Jim's assembled paper model part being inspected by the visitor up close at eye level. Jayo Sutton-has new techniques showing us how to work with curved surfaces and every so often brings in something to knock our socks off. A very busy Dan Shippey manages to swing by to check in and updates us with Delta 7 Studio activity. http://www.delta7studios.com/index.htm Paper models are displayed each month on a section of table dedicated to "Works In Progress." Us paper modelers gather there and have a blast. David Okamura always has interested visitors marveling at what we do with paper. David Okamura's superb Phoenix So you see..We are alive and well.
