Hans von Hammer Wish you hadn't deleted all the other pics.. It kinda shoots down the reference-value of the thread quite a bit.. If it's a file-size issue on your photo-hosting site, upload them as jpegs...

Thanks for the replacement photos, it was especially great to see the cockpit before the fuselage was sealed up. Really great work on making the details pop!
Well done.. And double-thanks for re-posting the WIP photos..
Good luck this weekend. Let us know how it came out. Beautiful work. Rick.
Wow, looks great. Any aircraft with a bubble top looks better in the OD and Gray scheme, while the framed canopy versions are better in bare metal.
Wabashwheels Good luck this weekend. Let us know how it came out. Beautiful work. Rick.
Thanks Rick! I'm gonna need it. I'm considering entering my Saburo Sakai Zero and Jim Swett's Wildcat from the recent Grumman Group Build too. Unfortunately, its the model club members that thrown on the shin-dig that usually run off with all the awards......but we'll see if I can throw a monkey wrench in there.....LOL.
Hello folks. Since some were curious an wished me luck, I wanted to mention that Missouri Armada came in third place in the 1/48 scale single engine inline engine catergory at the Cleveland Model Show. Aside from my conspiracy theories regarding model contests (kidding), 1/48 scale single prop was by far the most popluar category and there was alot of competition and excellent work there.....so i'm extremely pleased. Who would have thought the dreaded chromed (or de-chromed) Mustang would end up being contest worthy. Thanks to everyone who followed this thread.
professordeath I don't think you're far off the mark with the "conspiracy" stuff. I know at the yearly show we have in these parts all the judges are from the club and am convinced there is some stuff going on.

Thanks for the compliment Jimmy. Reference the conspiracy, our yearly show is ran by the local IPMS Chapter too. I was trying to be nice...lol. It was interesting to see how there was a litle flap on the bottom of the registration sheet that could lifted up to see who the modeler was....hummmmm. Nah, for me, its was all about having fun and seeing where my skills match up to other modellers. The prize was an unexpected surprise.
Outstanding..
Regarding judges, it's my opinion that chapter members should be DQ'd from entering anything in the open contest.. If they want to compete, they should have a "Chapter Members" category where all the sponsoring chapter members compete against each other's builds alone... Back when I was a local IPMS member, I never entered anything when we were sponsoring a contest.. I only "showed"...
Heh, I initially got pulled into judging at contest simply because there weren't enough guys to do it at one show I attended back in the 80s... So I got told to volunteer to be a judge... Naturally, I took Dioramas.. I really got my eyes opened as to what actually goes on "behind closed doors"...
But that's another thread..
Lawdog, you did really well, and if I'm not mistaken, you're either kinda new at this, or are recently returned to the hobby? If that's correct, then taking third is an even greater achievement than you realized..
Thanks for the kind words guys. Hans, I've been modeling seriously for about 10 years but I'm relatively new to this forum. Reference contests, I agreed with you guys and have overheard such discussions amongst judges. "hey..I saw that one at (blah blah) show and it won first place there...so theres no need to look at any of the others (or something to this effect)". .....lol....classic! Thats why I try to stay light-hearted about the subject.
This has been fixed....
Lawdog this is amazing. Thanks for the link. =] This will be a huge help.
