My apologies but somehow in trying to edit the dates on the post about the NIMA show I managed to delete the whole thread so I have started a new one. The show has been rescheduled for 9th and 10th of June which should mean we will be safe from snow 29339450_1791017630936672_68805006714732544_nHere are the rules for the show NIMA SHOW RULES - 2018 1. MODEL CATEGORIES 1.1 The following are the model categories available for the show: A. Aircraft (including helicopters) A1. 1/144 A2. 1/72 A3. Up to 1/48 (Propeller) A4. Up to 1/48 (Jet) A5. 1/35 and above NB: depending on numbers of models entered into each category, categories may be amalgamated. B. Armour B1. Up to 1/48 (including 1/48 soft-skins and other support vehicles) B2. 1/35 armour B3. 1/35 soft-skins and support vehicles NB: depending on numbers, category B1 may be split for 1/72 armour, soft-skins and other support vehicles. 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.

Vignettes (including “Wedgies”) H. Paper H1. Any paper model I. Juniors I1. Any model built by a modeller under 16 years of age J. Miscellaneous J1. 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. 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. NIMA Specific Award – awarded to best model submitted by a NIMA 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. 5.2 Please note that all competition entries MUST be registered and on the table by 1.00pm on Saturday. 6. ENTRY BY PROXY 6.1 “Entry By Proxy” must be agreed with NIMA in advance of the show. 6.2 Any Proxy entrant who does not attend the show on either day may forfeit any award or awards made. NIMA’s decision on this matter will be final. Such decision will be made taking into account any extenuating circumstances that may exist. 6.3 Anyone making a proxy entry who cannot attend on either day of the show should contact NIMA (nimasecretary@outlook.com) with reasons. If such contact is not made and reasons for non-attendance are not provided, it is likely that any awards will be forfeit. 7. DISCLAIMER 7.1 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 any damage caused to any model. 7.2 Anyone unable to attend on the Sunday should make arrangements to have their model or models, and any awards collected. NIMA accepts no responsibility for any models not collected at the end of the show. again apologies for deleting the previous thread Pat McGrath |

No problem Pat Just to remind folks that our club has been offered (free of charge) a display table at the show, so if any member wishes to display models that were previously entered in the NIMA competition in 2017, or doesn't want to enter this year's competition, there will be an opportunity to show your work. If you are interested in doing so, please let me know and we can make arrangements. It would be nice to have a mix of all genres there, so I will need to know in good time. Also, as some will be going by car, we can arrange to bring kits of those going by public transport and/or of those going for just the one day. Naturally, as it is a club table, only the models of members of the club will be allowed on the display. Philip Edited by Prenton, Mar 20 2018, 01:53 PM.

Excellent show over the weekend. Some of the lads came home with honours - the most significant of which was a gold medal awarded to Des for his Vietnamese irregular female soldier figure - huge congrats to him, on what was his first ever figure model. Many thanks to all those members who lent us kits for the club display - the NIMA lads had given us two 6ft tables where we could show our work, hang our poster and hand out flyers for the Nationals in October. The competition tables were full of really good quality models, some of which will no doubt get a second outing in October. Best of show went to Spencer Pollard for a 1:48th scale Bf 109 in factory finish, which was exquisite. I should have some photos of the competition tables up in a day or two. And the craic on the Saturday night was mighty as well..... Philip |
