IPMS-USA 2022 National Convention
Stuart Malone:
There were 900 modelers with 2808 models at Nats this year. I spent 3 hours in the contest room taking pictures of builds that caught my eye. In total, I was able to get about 90-100 models photographed. The room was very crowded! Here are the ones I took of WWI armored cars and aircraft. Please be patient, the images are slow to load from my public dropbox folder.

The quality of builds on all tables was insane. My only guess is the judges had to borrow their grandchildren's eyeballs to spot the tiniest of flaws. I entered my Millenium Falcon and Space airbrush, both of which I have posted here, and a 1/72nd scale tank. I didn't get my Junkers J.I done in time. I took it along to work on it but was having too much fun at the convention. Here's a picture of the trophies my entries were awarded on my hobby table.

Oh no! Swing and a miss! You still won getting to see 2000+ models. I always find the best thing I take away from shows is inspiration...and maybe some swag...

The best thing was meeting other modelers and vendors. Almost all of them are just normal dudes like us who love the hobby.
