Going to Scale Modelworld?
The weekend of 7-8 November will see modelers from all over the world gather in Telford for the annual IPMS Scale Modelworld. The event is now only days away.
I will have a pleasure of joining it, looking forward to be a part of the world's greatest model show but also the opportunity to meet with old and new iModeler friends who will be coming along.
Stay tuned for a daily photo coverage of the event at iModeler during the weekend.
The companions
A trip to a modeling show is always that bit more fun with a travel party. This time, I will be teaming up with @halvarvonflake from Germany, and there's a bit of history to it. Our acquaintance began with a humble iModeler friendship request. In time, we exchanged a few ideas on email, then established contact on Skype, where Halvar was kind enough to share some interesting suggestions for the development of this community. Step-by-step, our dialogue evolved, leading to the current decision of a common trip to Telford, to connect with other members and generally promote the idea of iModeler.
I guess it is one of these cases when iModeler networking bears fruit in interesting real-life meetings. I'm getting used to that being the case, even though there's still an incredible feeling to it.
Autumn fashion arriving!
iModeler does not (yet) have a permanent stand at the show, but should anyone here wish to connect for a brief chat, here's the chance of spotting us in the crowd. Among the ca. 10,000 modelers visiting the Telford International Centre, Halvar and myself will be wearing these original iModeler T-shirts. Based on the input from last year, the 2015 iModeler tee comes in black with a prominent logo on the back - definitely easier to spot, and I must admit to being a bit fond of the design! What do you think?
We will also be participating in the traditional IPMS bring-your-own luncheon at the IPMS International stand.
Are you going to the show? Please leave a comment to let me know and we'll make sure to meet up!
Will these snappy-looking T-shirts be available for purchase to ALL members of the iModeling community?
Well, potentially yes, so let's check for the demand... Would you be interested in wearing one? π
Absolutely. I'm a T-shirt "junkie". Perhaps you could conduct an informal poll to determine if world-wide distribution is feasible. I assume a minimum number of pre-orders would be necessary to make it happen. I'll be watching for any progress toward your decision and whether the idea is 'doable'. Thanks.
Count me in, 2 x Fat B**** size .
XL for me if you're countin'... - π
Yes, XL for me too, if you deliver to Australia. π
I hope one day I will attend show at Telford, always wanted to π
I would like to get one of those t-shirts also, I think it is a great idea - so count me in for it π
I'll catch up with you sometime on the weekend. No shirt for me: we have our own club shirts we wear at our shows. We're in Hall 1 this year, and with extra display area as well.
Sign me up, large, please.
Make mine a double x , I like em loose ! Sooner or later I'm gonna make it across the pond for Telford !
Me too.
Wish I could be there, looking forward to seeing your pictures. Please put me down for a couple of size L t-shirts!
Yet another Telford denied by work... Maybe next year.
Too late to make the show this year, Nov 2016 already have a trip scheduled to Jerusalem, Israel so next year is already out, so looks like it is 2017. But I'm down for a T-shirt as well, put me down for a large. By the way they look sharp.
Have a great time - will be there and will look out for you - 1 XL for me!
Wish you both a lot of fun there and i am looking forward to the coming live reports !
If the shirt and the shipping is o.K i am in ( best in XL i fear )
safe journey and waiting for a reportage
I will be there on Saturday with friends and family, but on Sunday my models and I will be at home on the Newbury club stand, so do let on to me if you are passing! T shirts look great BTW...!
