Sixteen members was a good turnout considering it was a week after our big October Show, most people had spent all their time getting their kits ready for competition of display, so there was not a lot of new stuff on the table this night.

Dave did bring in his Best in Show Mig-31, a few people didn’t get to see it, and I was grateful, because I didn’t have much of a chance to give it a good look. Beautiful piece of work!

Also worth a second look was Cory’s VW Beetle from the show. Cory gave a weathering presentation at the show, and his Bug kit shows that he is quite skilled at it!
Slow night but good to recap the show and talk about what went on.

See you next time, and keep building!!!!!!!

SHOW RECAP - IPMS ST. John's 2018 Model Show and Competition

Hi Folks,

All the pictures are in and we wanted to proudly announce the winners and their work from the Show for everyone to see.

We saw a lot of very fine work on the tables and while everyone can not win a prize, everyone is a winner for their effort and dedication to the hobby, and for putting themselves into the competition.

We also want to give a huge THANKS to the Show Sponsors, especially the companies that provided the Category prizes:

Big Guy Hobby Supply, Conception Bay South NL
Elm City Hobbies, Fredericton
Hobby Sense, Winnipeg
IPMS Canada
Maritime Hobbies, Halifax
Signal Hobbies, St. John's

We could not have done it without these folks. I recommend you reach out to each of these on their website to see what they have that you might need. All top notch organizations!

Thanks everyone for coming out to the Show and helping make this event a success,

See you next year!

Tonight was swap night, and quite a few kits changed hands. Just like Christmas 😊

There were a few pieces of work on the table tonight, some people were busy over the summer!

Jessica recently completed her first build, a Gundam figure. Nicely done! We look forward to seeing more.

Steve F - As always a collection of aircraft from various nationalities. There is an evolutionary theme from a chronological point of view from the Russian and American sides.

Rod C – Rod has been a busy boy with several pieces finished over the summer. His captured Britch WWI tank in German Markings, his miniature T-34, Tiger I and Sherman tanks, and his Star Wars Tie fighter in Luftwaffe markings. Eclectic collection!

Joe – New pieces, Bronco M-24 Chaffee and Tamiya Tiger I. Also a previously complete M36 Jackson for size comparison between the three. Rounded out with a Miniature Sherman from Meng (pictured with Rod C’s Sherman)
