IPMS Kickoff Classic Pics (Apr 18 2009)

[mrawl]

Here are some pics I took last Saturday. I only took a few car pics though!! Sacrilege I know, but I only had a small memory card in the cam and that's just how it went. Sorry :-( Having said that, the military and miscellaneous stuff was just insane. My favorite was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde!

Wow, some impressive models and dioramas!
What's the outcome for entry #508?!

[Slash.Snakepit]

Great stuff all around!

Do you have an internet gallery with more pics from that event?

Nice Pictures, the dioramas were awesome. Not a huge auto or motorcycle turnout but some very nice models. Here are a few pictures I took. Check the link if you want to see more. http://s532.photobucket.com/albums/e...lassic%202009/

Sorry, that's all I have, maybe someone else posted something up. You can try Googling, or go straight to their web site SVSM. It might take a few days. The magazine photographers normally put up loads of pics on their sites, but I didn't see those guys this year. They were probably at NNL West though. Anyway, looks like there were a lot of meets last weekend and there'll be more going forward, so I'm sure the internet will be awash with awesome pics if you go looking for them. Again, sorry I didn't get more car pics. And yes, the dioramas were out of this world, seriously brilliant work.

Hi Tibi, yep, that's mine, the final WIP entry and completion thread are up now. Disturbingly bad pics I know, but, oh well.

[Tibi Keke]

Hi Mark!

Thanks for your answer. I saw also your Porsche Taisan finally ready! It's superb! Great job!
My best wishes!

Great pics. What sort of camera were you using?

Thanks, I was using a Canon 40D DSLR with either the 18-55 kit lens or a Sigma 105mm Macro lens. Also, an Canon EX430 flash with a snap on diffuser. Here are a few I took one rainy day in the garage. http://www.southbayriders.com/forums...ad.php?t=73363 I'm still working on taking decent model photos with as cheap a studio steup as possible.
