2013 IPMS USA Nationals - The Armor

Very cool report articles Sir! Lots of refreshing and inspiration, again, and again! Cheers Garry

Thanks for posting these,always inspirational to see others work. Especially Love "Bargain Basement",i can almost hear Telly Savalas Yelling "My Merchandise You Idiot !"

Jim, was that a 1/35th or 1/72nd Dora?

Hi Carl... I am fairly sure that was the 1/72 kit.

Great looking show, terrific quality of builds, very inspiring. Thanks for the pics Jim. Al

Jim, that's 437 photos and you're beating yourself up about taking a while to post them?! Thanks for the report, some excellent stuff here. Got to hand it to the guy who appears to be trying to model every Matilda that ever served!

Wow. Beautiful shots of some beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you Jim for all the effort you clearly put in to getting this all together. So many pictures ! Love it ! thank you again

Thanks for these, Jim. The standard, as one would expect, is exceptional. I wondered if you recorded class winners, so that we could see the judging decisions. It must have been difficult. Another short-list posting, perhaps, if available? On another note, and it may be because there are simply so many armour photos listed here, is that it appears that easily 80% of the subjects are 'shermans n' germans' - with a spattering of soviet and modern armour. Do you think this is due to saturation marketing, or are our preferences simply set in that modelling groove? Cheers for sharing.

Magnificent pics and models!
