Wow! It's cool someone remembers my entry at IPMS. Didn't even place there (and again, was told I had a good design, but was too sloppy with the seams). I really do wish I could care about seams as much as the design and execution of a model, but I'm just not a seam guy I guess.

My silver at wonderfest must've been 1997 instead of 1998, because I did them both in the same year...

Thanks for remembering!
John

Kewelness! I recall seeing pics of that on somebody's website at one point. VERY nice job. Bow [bow]

Sorry, I meant to post this in the existing Wonderfest thread, but when I went to log in, I lost the thread I guess.

I won a Silver in the 1998 Wonderfest in hardware, and was told the reason I didn't score higher was I had some seams that needed work. These were very subtle seam problems, so they look at your work with an eagle's eye! Good luck to everyone who enters.
