IPMS Exhibit - Part 1

 Being reminded of my "Walter Mitty Dreams" .....

Photos of Static Scale Models
with a Spin

IPMS Exhibit - Glorietta 1 Activity Center

Dropped by the IPMS {International Plastic Modelers Society} Exhibit at the Glorietta - just after lunch.  As expected, I had to "find my way around" the transparent glass casings - the limitation of photo angles, the loss of resolution, and the unavoidable reflections [Arrgghh !} that they bring.  

If NOT for my extreme fondness for the hobby {that I once Pursued -With Passion ! / Splurged on - for several years} - I wouldn't have had the patience to craft these available light images.
