There was a post on the IPMS SMW Facebook page by a Roger Wallsgrove calling for more entries into the What-If class at next years show. He even mentions a Mr Spackman!
At least one guy in my club has announced he wants a go at it, and he's a ship modeler.

It could well be the most packed class at SMW 2025!

Quote from: Freightdog862 on October 27, 2024, 02:38:17 PMThis year at Telford I will again be sponsoring a small competition on the What-If stand. This will be slightly different than in previous years. Firstly it will be open to all models on the table, not just those with Freightdog parts on them. Secondly, the Elder Statesman of the SIG, PR19_Kit has graciously agreed to judge, along with Dominic McEvoy.

As per last year, two prizes will be given, one for technical build, and one for originality, meaning you don't have to have the model on the table to win one of the prizes. The prize will be a selection of goodies, to be given on the Sunday afternoon.

My thanks to our Glorious Leader for giving his approval.

Colin           


Congratulations to scautomoton and Zenrat on winning the Best on the table at SMW last weekend. The AW.169 was a stunning example, and amazing scratch build via the medium of 3D printing, and the B.28 and a half was winner for the spirit of What-If Modelling complete with backstory, as judged by Kit and Dominic.

Thank you to Kit and Dominic, maybe next year the official IPMS What-If class can get a few more entries, as there were plenty of models on the What-Of and Project Cancelled table that could have won something!
 
Thanks,
Colin

Thank you Colin.
It was a priveledge to have been there in plastic if not in the flesh.  I didn't send the Halfcan over to win anything, I just wanted to join in the fun.  But it is an honour to have judged by my peers.

Did the spiders eggs I filled it with hatch yet?

If you think I'd have let a parcel from Oz past my letterbox without TOTAL fumigation you're not as sharp as I think you are Fred.  ;D  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Scorpions in Britain! I would not have ever imagined that!
The bigger ones seem to be less venomous and little ones are more nasty. One nice thing about where I live, there's no scorpions, giant spiders, rattlesnakes, pythons, hurricanes or earthquakes. Just tornadoes and occasional blizzard.

I used to go there lot when I was working, to catch the rather superb Olau Line ferries, now sadly gone, thanks to over militant unions.

Yes, read about that many years ago. One place I really want to visit, with a UV light of course!

The scorpions have been over here for quite some time, they are quite harmless, and not very widespread. Here is me with my Asian forrest scorpion, Terry.

Same as me Kit, the Isle of Sheppey has (or had) the only two steel works in the UK south of the Thames.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

I've got family in Gravesend (i've always thought its a fantastic place name) and I was born in Dartford.  Score!
