Cool... Although - and it is none of my business - I hope that somebody will notify organisers about that mistake.

Thanks for the info, Pat. I think it is definitely one for the diary....The island can manage three major model shows annually. Philip PS - on "that mistake". I'm sure the term "IPMS Dublin" is just shorthand for IPMS Ireland Dublin Chapter Edited by Prenton, Jul 7 2016, 06:10 PM.

Thought that I will be able to make it up there, never being to that part of the island, but will not be able to make it after all. There's always 'next time'...and, I presume, that most of the models will be displayed on both Dub shows over the year, hoping anyway. |

I have to check, but I think myself and the better half are attending the Prison & Justice conference in Belfast on the 13th... she's doing all the presenting so I'll have some spare time.. hmmm. This could be doable, even from Cork.. and, Filip, I haven't been back to Belfast in two decades.. but from my memory, it's a very cool city, well worth a visit.

Categories B2 and B3 may also be further split for 1/24 and 1/16 vehicles. C. Sci-fi C1. All sci-fi models NB: sci-fi figures may also be entered in the “Figures” Category, but can only be entered in one category. D. Civilian D1. Vehicles (any scale) D2. Aircraft (any scale) D3. Other E.

Any model that does not fit into any of the categories above 2. IMPORTANT NOTES 2.1 For any model entered into Categories A, B, C, D or E, ONLY THE MAIN VEHICLE will be judged. Judges will not take into account any figures, groundwork or other accessories included with the main vehicle, including crew members. 2.2 If a participant wishes to have any figures, groundwork or other accessories judged along with the main vehicle, that model should be entered into Category G (Dioramas). 2.3 For the purposes of NIMA, a vignette is defined as a small diorama consisting of up to 4 figures, some groundwork or accessories, but NOT INCLUDING ANY VEHICLES (but see 2.4 below regarding wedgies). 2.4 Wedgies will be included with vignettes and may include part of a vehicle. 2.5 In the case of any dispute or disagreement regarding model category, the judges’ decision will be final. 2.6 It is within judges’ discretion to cancel any particular category, or combine categories, should there not be sufficient entries submitted (less than 4). 3. BASES 3.1 For models entered into Categories A, B, C, D, E and F, it will be helpful, for judging purposes, if the model is presented on a base. Judges will have to examine models closely and a base will allow them to do so without touching the model. Bases are not compulsory, but please bear in mind that any model entered without a base will likely have to be handled by the judges. Competitors should indicate whether or not the model is secured to the base. 3.2 Please note that the judges will not take the base into account for scoring purposes. 3.3 Models are entered into the show at the owners’ risk and, while utmost care will be taken, NIMA, the judges and the venue accept no responsibility for damage caused to any model. 3.4 Entry “by proxy” is not permitted. 4. AWARDS 4.1. In addition to Gold, Silver and Bronze in each category, the following further awards may also be made: Best of Show – decided from among all Gold medal winners. President’s Trophy – awarded by NIMA President. People’s Choice – awarded by popular vote on the day of the show Club Specific Award – awarded to best model submitted by a Club member. Sponsored Award – awarded according to the sponsors wishes / stipulations. 4.2 At the judges’ discretion, “commended” awards may also be made. 5. COMPETITION ENTRANCE FEES 5.1 Fees for entering the competition are as follows: i. £10 for up to 5 models; ii. £2.50 for each model over 5 entered. NIMA Committee June 2016 |
