I've been to the IPMS " Modelmania " show here in Houston several times but only entered a build once in 2019
This thing --> https://www.scalemodeladdict.com/threads/watson-on-mars.13418/
I haven't been since the pandemic
It's usually at the very end of April , start of May .
Maybe I'll enter something in the 2025 show .

I'm thinking of going to this same show this next year as I haven't been to a show since the Nats in New Braunfels in 2023. I've been to Model Mania once in 2016 and it was a really good show and have been tinkering with the idea of going back. For a while I made the show in San Antonio (Model Fiesta) but the last time someone I knew went to that show it was tiny.....and I do mean tiny. Something like 6 tables tiny and that was just last year.
May 3rd sounds like something I can make so I may just have to go this year.
Did you win anything with that build?

Well let's keep in touch .
I should have at least one build ready by then .
" Did you win anything with that build? "
yes , it won a first and also " Best of Fictional "
I was a bit shocked . That 2019 show was the largest show with the most entries they ever had to date .
I was on the other side of the event the whole time they were giving out the awards ,, and then I started hearing my name being called repeatedly .

Sounds like a plan bud and I've got several builds since the last time I went to a "local show". What's your first name and we'll take 'er from there.
I'm Joe and it's good to meet you.

It's Keith
It will be good to attend again .
The show was cancelled at least one year during the pandemic and then the people that I used to meet there stopped going and my one friend here in Houston that used to go moved out of state .

Gotcha Keith. I'll start warming my wifey up to the idea of going to that one. I really do miss that show as there was a lot going on there with plenty of vendors.
The Nats was a good show too. I didn't win a dang thing there but it didn't matter because I still had fun meeting up with folks from the forums and all.

The way I remember it, the vendor area was indeed pretty good. They still holding it at the same complex?
I'm from Corpus so it's not a bad trip for me.

I've been through there a couple of times on my way to the beautiful town of Pueblo Colorado (and I say that very facetiously ) while I was on Homeland Defense deployment there and it's quite the trek.

LOLOL!!! Try driving from Corpus/ Houston to Fort Bliss......in a frickin' deuce and a half at 50mph!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
Well then, you should quit smoking. For three reasons. Number one. You don't have to drive to the corner store! Number two. Trust me. You'll feel better. I smoked for about 40 years and the scariest time was waiting on the x-ray of my lungs. I could not believe they were spotless at two packs a day so I started using the patches and quit cold turkey. Number three. You have to stick around longer because I like hearing you give Black Sheep shit

I got number one covered now . I get my brother to grab em when he comes over since it's on the way .
Telling me your lungs were spotless isn't much of a deterrent ,
I only have to make it long enough to find out how that chipping fluid works out for you , lol .
