Great pics.
Thanks for posting this message Jason. I've never associated IPMS with paper modeling but now you have made me think of the organization in a totally new light. Modeling is modeling after all.

For the last few years we have been able to have a Paper Model category in the show with good turnout. This year there were fewer models, but they were all very well done. Attached are a few pictures I took. If Bob Penikas ever catches up on his e-mail, he may post more and better pics, but here goes: 1b10_bp_sm.jpg is Bob Penikas's Martin B-10 from a Fiddler's Green kit. A large model with an impressive color scheme, and a nice example of what Future can do for a finish. 2tpnp_j(qm)_sm.jpg is a model of a German nuclear power plant, made by John(?)(Sorry, John, we didn't get your last name) from a Thomas Pleiner kit. Very neatly done. 3b17R_bp_sm.jpg ia Bob Penikas's kit-bash of a FG B-17 kit to represent a Burt Rutan version of the venerable bomber. He really ought to try flying it! Off to the right is Bob's '32 Ford street rod, heavily Futured for an outstanding glossy finish. I think it was from Zio Prudenzio's kit, but Bob may correct that. Upper center is Bob's beautiful little Pitt's Special, also from Fiddler's Green. The Pitt's took third place in the judging. 4ap23_js_sm.jpg represents a Bison-class heavy transport cargo starship, scratchbuilt by Jayo Sutton at 1/350 scale from data at Masao Okazaki's Starfleet-Museum.com website. It had working running and position lights, impulse drives, and warp nacelle Bussard collectors, and was built with semi-gloss paper from Kelly Papers. The AP-23 took second place. On the left is a better view of Bob's Ford. 5105h_jn_sm.jpg was the First place winner, a 1/16 German 105mm light howitzer built by Jim Nunn from a Polish DarfModel kit. Yhis model has to be seen to be believed, from the almost functioning breech-block to the gunner's tools to the bolt heads on the frame. I don't know how he does it. 6105h_jn_sm.jpg is a close-up of the ready ammunition box with a projectile and powder case removed. The shell is 6.5mm (about 1/4") in diameter. The box hinges and latches are functional. This model was a masterpiece. There were lots of positive comments from the public and a surprising amount of interest from young persons. All and all we had a great time. Next year will be even better!
