February 2018 IPMS Ottawa Contest

It was a dark and stormy night, with a large amount of snow still falling at meeting time, so the turnout was rather small. We had seven models in the ad hoc competition. Were it not for the semi-annual Swap Meet, we might not have had any people show up in that weather!

FIRST PLACE

Nazi 128mm anti-aircraft artillery from Modelcollect in 1:72 scale with great photo-etch additions.

SECOND PLACE

Yephima, Female Cloud Giant, from Reaper in 28mm scale, but of a giant, so about 75mm high. Tattoos and fishnet stocking painted freehand. Base is from Tropicana orange juice bottle.

THIRD PLACE

Canadian built Chevrolet 30 cwt truck from Tamiya in 1:35 scale from the Long Range Desert Group in WWII

OTHERS

Baltic-class Hudson locomotive from Monogram in 1:87 scale (kit #1105) as it may have appeared near the end of WWII. CP Rail had 65 of these engines. Model by John Clearwater.
