ST0RM Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Surprised no one has posted any pics from the Nebraska Nats. Or did I miss a thread? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chriss7607 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I can say that there was no Tamiya, Academy, or Zoukei-Mura. Eduard had no competition for selling their new Wildcat. There were a lot of really great entries - I just can't post pics on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This is when being on Facebook has its benefits. The attendees have been posting a ton of photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael A. Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The convention 'gouge' is on Facebook! Also starting a list of those that came home with COVID! Speedy recovery to all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Nats was absolutely fantastic! 2808 was the total number of entries. If you take into account collections, it's probably over 3,000. The above mentioned companies decided to attend the Hobbytown convention rather than IPMS. It makes sense, as there's more potential money at the HT convention. In regards to COVID, that seems awfully quick turnaround. If you were there Wednesday and went home Sunday, that doesn't seem like a lot of time for symptoms to show.

Kurt H. Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I really liked Darren's seminar about the Many Faces of the F-14 👍👍 The Eduard wildcat sold very well, I saw guys buying them 4 or more at a time. They still had plenty on Sunday Then Kinetic confirmed the 1/72 C-17 . There were lots of great models on display, but it was hard to get good pictures. I have not gone through all of mine, but they all need a lot of work to make presentable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chriss7607 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 If I had the presence of mind, I would have attended Darren's presentation since I had the time. At least I got the preview! Darren and the Sprue Brothers crew was my source for why the aforementioned three didn't show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Get on Facebook...tons of photos. It was a wicked good show, a sea of plastic in the contest room and if aircraft is your bag then you got an eye full. Lots of fantastic builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Not a Facebooker, so I'll miss out. Adds more to the argument about the relevancy of sites like ARC, if you have to have FB to see events that are model related. But thanks for the replies. Who will host the next one?

Other sites have the coverage when you get shows. Facebook offered the uploading of pictures for free, people find it harder to get a host so on here they dont bother. The toxic and or controlling nature of facebook keeps me away from the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can get on under a made up name, using a made up yahoo (or whoever) email address...and follow just model pages and avoid all the BS. Aside from that, if you're online or have a smart phone, the Chinese are already seeing everything you type. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just need to search “Facebook IPMS” and you can go to the page and see all the photos posted. It’s an open, public page so anyone, even non Facebook users can see posts and photos. You just cannot post comments or photos since you are not a Facebook user. Edited July 30, 2022 by Sean F Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Thanks for the answers. Yeah, I'm not worried about the Chinese or whomever listeing/reading my stuff. I'm not naive enough to believe otherwise. I dont care for Zuckerberg and his stuff. So I just choose not to participate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
