IPMS Orange County. Congatulations to Marc who took home five awards. Apparently you took your models to the right place where they appreciated your incredible work!

Congrats to Marc!
And it is rather ironic that he get 5 rewards at a military modelling convention with civilian stuff, and nothing at the Narrow gauge Modelling convention with his narrow gauge engines...
Oh GOD! :o
Now I'll never be able to get his autograph...... :-[
Congrats Marc.

Congratulations Marc. Well done and well deserved.

(Congratulations, Marc!)
Congratulations from me too!
It hit the right one!

Why so stingy with the pixels, Russ?
Would be nice to be able to read the inscriptions.

... that's exactly what I thought ... 8)
BTW: congrats, Marc!
Congrats Marc, well deserved!
Well done Marc!
So, I guess you are a good modeler after all. Show them narrow gaugers a thing or too. ;)
The image came out too small because Photoshop told me it was 240 kb, close to the maximum the site allows. But it actually saved out as 113 kb. Doesn't matter much, anyway, because the trophies don't tell what models won what prize (two firsts, two seconds, and a third). -- Russ
Congratulations Marc, well deserved.....

I looked at a lot of the models on display at the OC IPMS show and I saw a lot of the same models at the nationals, so great job you beat out national contenders !
What's next ? LOL

Great Job marc! Are those trophies 1:8 scale? :o ;D
Congratulations ;D
Oh wow. Thank you very much for all the kind words and support.
Sorry for not responding sooner, but I have been busy with work and away from the forum. It was both flattering and embarrassing to se ones name in the subject heading re this event. I was definitely trying to keep it low key and under the radar.
The awards were a very humbling and uncomfortable experience. I felt much more comfortable with the NNGC experience. :-[
(I sent the photo to Russ, only as part of a discussion, and to show the weird dichotomy between the two shows.)
Going to and entering the show ended up being just a last minute decision.
I was fortunate not to be in the same categories as Adam Kuller and his fine models, and to be in a couple of what I would consider "light" categories ("Non-Armor Vignettes & Dioramas" & "Other: things that don't fit anywhere else". My biggest surprise did come in the "1/51 Scale & Smaller Armor" category, where there were many pieces, and a couple of them were IMO really well done and superior.
I am also very happy that I do not build aircraft models.....that is a really insane and anal crowd, to put it mildly. But their results/efforts are wonderful to peruse.
Thanks again for all the kind words.
Grats on some fine models. Fun to win trophies but also humbling and a bit awkward.
Catching up on the many articles on this web site.
Excellent mental therapy
Congrats Marc.
Your Garage is a great example of what can be done with a condensed footprint, with plenty of scope for detail. ( hope that sounded right )
cheers mate
