IPMS Gastonia, NC Show 4-29-17

April 29, 2017 · in Show Reports · 14 · 2K

Here are a few of the models seen today at the IPMS Gastonia, NC Show. There were just over 450 models displayed including aircraft, ships, armor, figures, cars and more. Since I lean toward aircraft, most all of the photos I shot were planes. It was a well organized show in a good facility and was very well attended. I thought some of you might enjoy seeing some of the models on the tables. These photos are a random sampling of what was there and I wish I had been able to shoot more of them. My congratulations to IPMS Gastonia, NC for putting on a fine show.

    • Hello Ian...I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. As for any AFV shots, I didn't take any as I was concentrating on the aircraft. It was not my intention to slight any other model categories as the skill level of many of those builds was quite excellent. I plead guilty to being a dedicated aircraft modeler and as a result that is the subject where I concentrated my photo efforts.

  5. Some nice work to view. Thanks for sharing Jim.

  6. Nice! Ditto on the Lysander, was it the old Hawk?
