IPMS_Atlanta show

[phantom II]

Hello everyone. This weekend I went to the IPMS show in Atlanta.

I have to admit, my primary reason was to see what the IPMS would be like in this neck of the woods and to see if the vendors would be more interesting to me.

I am very pleased to say that this is the nicest show I have attended since leaving Texas behind.

All the categories were well represented except for figures. I suspect the reason for that being that the recently had a figure show and are having their regional meet in a few short weeks.

The vendors had stacks higher than I could see over but a half hour latter , I could see over the stacks. Things were literally flying out the doors.

I took some pictures but I must admit to not taking a lot of care, mostly doing it while bobbing and weaving. It's only a small representation of what was there. Hope you find something to enjoy Bear in mind the best are at the end.

Cheers, Christian B)

This one's for your biplane guys. Very well done ( in my opinion )

This one's for the pupp .

The size of this C-5 is unbelievable. If only he had lit the cargo bay. The camera will not take the picture without more lighting.

Either of these birds are outstanding but to see the air refueling in progress is fabulous !

Sorry for my bias to aircraft . There was even a ship category that I overlooked . Too many venders to peruse

Cheers, Christian B)

Good to hear Chris, guess next year we'll change our schedule. No way I could have made it this weekend, still sick as a dog.

Sorry to hear Bob. So, you didn't have the big weekend with the Mrs either ?

It was good. Met at least one good dealer. Waiting to hear back from their shop. Gunze & Vallejo for sure. Open mind for our needs.

Looks like a nice show. I wanted to go, and I know Kelly was thinking about going, but like MP, I'm sick as a dog too, so stayed home and rested all weekend. Still hoping to go to the AMPS show next month.

That looks like a much better venue than the Marriott, the lighting is sure brighter! Lots of cool builds too. B)

Hi Dave . Yes, I agree . I wish they were a bit closer. They really were bigger and better in Texas but they were also much further.

Don't feel bad Adam I only started getting better on Friday. It was almost a no go . As it was the wife sis not feel up to it.

It was Mike. A much better place . I and I only recognized one vendor .

Cheers, Christian B)

I was going to point out it looked like a much better venue than the 2 shows I'd been to down there. I cant remember where they were at, but it may have been a hotel, but its been several years since I went down for their show.

This show was held at the Lockheed Union hall . The next figure show is back in the hotel lobby . Not as nice of a facility
