The Ship Model Forum

The display of skill up there is simply breathtaking.

Cool! :cool_1: Very nice ships, thanks for the photos. The Prinz and Takao did look very sharp!

Unfortunately for the builder of the Prinz, this fabulous Takao was on hand. The lower hull was scratch built, and the level of detail was astounding. Really well done - deserving of Best Ship and Best in Show.

Dan Kaplan was there with a pair of IJN destroyers. One was better than the other...

Hosted by the Long Island Scale Modelers Society, NoreastCon (the IPMS/USA Region 1 annual show) was held for the 43rd time at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, LI. Nice turn out for ships. I was one of the teams judging ships - some great work on the table.

Congratulations to Richard Price, who's 1/700 IJN Takao won Best Ship and I believe Best in Show (I left before the awards).
