Next regular meeting of Mid-West Branch of IPMS Ireland will take place in Shannon Airventure Centre and Museum on Saturday, the 6th of August around 2PM-ish

The usual business plus some extra agenda, as Modelling Munster Show is just around the corner. I am sure I had something important to discuss, but I can't remember what it was, now :shrug:

Anyway, I hope to see you all there :wave:

As agreed during the last meeting of Mid-West Branch of IPMS Ireland, strong volunteers will be meeting this Saturday, August the 27th, in Atlantic Airventure Centre in Shannon, around 3PM to drag the tables around and to set up the venue - and iron last details - for upcoming Modelling Munster show.

E-mail with exactly the same message as above will be on its way in the next day or two, just to make sure :>

After busy Sunday on Limerick's Die cast and Diorama show, it's time to get back to the usual business:

Next regular meeting of Mid-West Branch of IPMS Ireland will be held on Saturday 1st of October, at the usual time and usual venue - 2PM-ish, Atlantic Airventure Centre and Museum Shannon

It's the last meeting before the IPMS Ireland gig in the Big Shmoke and we have to organize transport of our models, both for Branch display and competition tables, to and from the show. We have talked about it on Sunday, so this is only reminder for those who wish to send their plastic up on the day of the show, have it ready and packed, so it can be handed to the 'delivery boys' :wave:

The usual model talk, a bit of gluing and mandatory tea/coffee will not be missed either

All welcome :>

...continue on the IPMS Ireland Nationals 2016 theme:

This year will see change in the 'The Best Finish Trophy'.
The trophy and criteria of judging and the privilege to win this trophy will stay the same as in previous years, as well as the sponsor of this award. The main change from now on is, that this trophy is being donated by Mid-West Branch of IPMS Ireland.
We are hoping that this will be another step towards raising awareness of how important is to put effort and time into finishing techniques on a model, cleanliness of a build, as well as, a bit selfishly, making our branch and the hard work we are putting into promoting scale modelling and our club through out the Mid-West region as well as abroad more visible in the Irish context.

We are hoping that this award will become - after the 'The Best of Show' - one of the most precious trophies any modeler can win. Either way, watch out for Mid-West Branch Trophy:

2 more days before another chapter of this prestigious award will be written and yet another model will enter this line up.

You still have 2 more nights to dust off your models, tidy up those glossy glue patches and generally repair the paint jobs, weathering and bases.

...continuing on the theme.

Mid-West Branch Trophy for The Best Finish went to this amazing figure composition:

It was placed in the darkest corner of the whole room, bright back light and fact that my camera is slowly dying, didn't help with the quality of that photo, but you'll get the idea.

Our drive to look for modelling inspiration and new friends in the hobby anywhere on this planet brought another fruit:

Decal sheet featuring stencils for 88mm single round ammunition crates, only in 1:35 scale at the moment, but both remaining scales, 1:72 and 1:48, are being done at present

Posted Image

There's more to it, more 88mm stencils to come and some other graphics for armour and aircraft are in the pipeline, like WWI Austro-Hungarian lozenge, for example and one never knows, there could be something 'Irish' in it as well :shrug:

With the forum back online and 2 weeks to go to the last meeting of 2016 of Mid-West Branch of IPMS Ireland, I thought, that I will keep all potential travelers informed about destinations for modelling trip organised by our branch during forthcoming year.

Listed bellow are shows, from which our target will be chosen. Those are 'heavy guns' in terms of modelling shows and there's plenty of info on the 'tinternet' about one and each of those, so everyone can see for themselves and start saving, because once the destination is chosen, it'll be like pop-pop-pop-pop-pop :D


Go Modelling, Vienna, Austria
11. – 12. 3. 2017


Euro Model Expo, Lingen, Germany
25. – 26. 3. 2017


Moson Model Show, Hungary
22. -23. 4. 2017


Elche Model Show, Spain
2. – 4. 6. 2017


Model Contest – Saumur Tank Museum, France
3. - 4. 6. 2017


ModelBrno, Czech Republic
16. - 17. 6. 2017


Plenty of other big or not-so-big, but equally good shows on the continent and we do intend to go abroad every year, to promote IPMS Ireland, Irish modelling as well as IPMS IRL Nationals - as the main annual club event, so there is a good chance that those 'rejected' will be back on the list for 2018, 2019 and so on... :book:

note: this should, probably be in the 'members only section' and if any of the admins is reading this and wants to move this post there, that's fine with me, but then, I wouldn't be able to post it nor reply to potential enquirers :zip:
So drop me a PM :wave:

...and another year is gone :shrug:

Mid-West Branch last meeting of this year will be going under way this Saturday - 3rd of December, around 2PM-ish at the usual venue, Atlantic Airventure Centre and Museum Shannon. As it became tradition, this will be yet another few busy hours filled with modelling, banter and club/branch business.

Everybody's welcome to pop in on the day, members or not, young or not so young, girls, boys, no matter what you are building as long as you are doing something...

Hope to see you all there :wave:

Good and busy meeting.
Thanks to Alan and Danny who threw surprise Christmas party for all attendees, complete with Christmas cake and mince pies.

Posted Image


...next meeting of Mid-West Branch will be in 2017, on January 7th.




As announced before, we have made decision about where to go on our 2017 trip, spreading the fame of Mid-West Branch and IPMS Ireland, after long, hard, and serious consideration of all the listed destinations, ease of access, travel arrangements and other cultural and historical attractions we could squeeze in while visiting any of those modelling shows, we have voted in favor of this:

Posted Image

Our plan is to leave Ireland on Thursday morning and returning back on Bank Holiday Monday - 1-5/06/2017 , late at night.
We should be staying 1 night in Nantes and 3 nights in Saumur, so if anyone is interested to join us, please, get in touch via PM for more details :wave:
