IMPORTANT-To all Modelers Florida

[eubangee]

My name is Sean and I'm an IPMS Orlando member. If you are a model car builder and wish to enter a show next year in April in the Orlando area, please contact me at [email protected] for your input and for more information. I'm looking for feedback on what classes we should have and how many people wish to attend. In past shows there weren't too many cars, especially lowriders and euros, most models being military models, and the club and I want that to changethat this year. Also, if you are in the Orlando area and want to join IPMS visit www.ipmsorlando.com and come to one of our meetings. Model car clubs, please contact me!

Thanks for responding. I was told by the older members that there weren't alot of cars so they had to eliminate classes. I went to a show in Titusville back in May and there weren't a lot of cars there either. Also, I want competition.

Hmmmmmm, I may have to stop by in August. I guess one just shows up at a meeting to join? I live near where the meetings take place, on Econ between HWY 50 and University.

As far as compitition for you... I think I'm up for it. I am on a Rally car kick right now, with an import car/motorcycle/star ship/robot/gaming minature/anime resin/modern or WWII armor/aircraft kit thrown in occasionally to keep the boredom at bay.

Oh yeah, and my wife smacks me every time we are in Colonial Photo and Hobby and see the IPMS sign and asks me why I havn't joined yet.

One shows up at a meet and if you like what you see you pay $25 a year ($12 if you're 17 and under), which goes to club funds (the car show, for example) and they're not a lot of members (I'd say no more than 30) and we're looking for more club members, especially car builders.

By the way, nice Focus you have in your gallery. Bring it to the next meet for show and tell.

[Asmenoth]

OK, sounds good. See you in August then.

[Asmenoth]

Thanks, but that Focus is an Autoart 1/18 scale diecast. I am working on the 1/24 scale version though. I updated my Gallery with two models I have built and happen to have pics of on my computer that are ready to go. Have quite a bit more, just no pics yet.

[eubangee]

I'll see you then. As for the Focus, it's still nice, but still bring something to show your skills. I need to know what I'm competing against.

[tonioseven]

Heh, I'm actually thinking about moving to Orlando!! I'll be there for about a week and a half in August.

kool stuff tonio and kool shit with the contest and everything. i would enter and all but i dont think my models are in the littlest bit show class so ill think about it and ill contact you

[eubangee]

Tonioseven, if you visit the website you will see that the meetings are on the last Mondays of every month, so I think you'll have time to come if you're not busy. You'll also find directions on the website. As for Supraman, it doesn't really matter if you think your models aren't good enough. You never know, you could leave with a trophy. Like I said before, there weren't too many people who entered cars in past shows. Plus not everything is about winning. Enter your car(s) just for the hell of it. have fun. I'm entering three cars and I'm not expecting a trophy for either one of them. It's the fun of building them and showing them off. Anyway, thanks a lot guys for responding.

[eubangee]

By the way, Supraman, I checked out your gallery and you cars are pretty tight. I especially like the Hilux

C'mon people, there's goto to be more people from Florida!
