Hi Paul, I know you were going, Got Photos to Share? Huge Halls with Lots of Automotive entries from what I have seen and tons of vendors. Hope you did well as a vendor too... Chris Chris, I didn't do the vendor thing. I didn't want to spend 3 days tyed up in that room. Mike A and I went up Saturday morning and came back that night. Lots of spectacular builds. Here are some pics. public.fotki.com/2whl/model-shows/2021-ipms-nationals/The best of auto, ship and aircraft were models that were totally scratch built. This is the best auto.  A 1/8 scale Entex McLaren  This transporter was also scratch built  |

Paul, Thanks Some really excellent models on display, I like seeing Plane , Ships and etc, the technics these guys are using give me some great ideas. The 1909 International Harvester was a true museum piece and the scratchbuild work with documentation was great. Something different that you dont see. Your link didnt work for me so I looked it up and here it is again for those who have a similar problem public.fotki.com/2whl/model-shows/2021-ipms-nationals/ Joe Porsche and the Las Vegas guys really did a bang up job putting this massive show on. I had intended to go but some physical limitations made it impossible. I should have asked You for a ride since you only went for 1 day but I doubt you would have gone the 140 miles out of your way to pick me up. LoL!! I saw the vendors hall and Wow .. huge turn out and I fully understand about spending 3 days stuck there. Its nice to be a spectator instead of a vendor or promoter. Again Thanks for the pic's I hope to see You and the guys again soon at maybe Art Laski's, So Cal Open, my old show, My medical restrictions are improving. Chris |

I read Marks latest email this morning there were 2600 appx. and 460 of those were in the Automotive classes, not bad when IMPS shows use to be maybe a couple of dozen cars and everything else Military. Looks like We are Taking over the Hobby, One show at a Time!!! Lol.... Chris
