Vancouver IPMS Fall Show 2016

[Haijun watcher]

Just a reminder that it's this Saturday at the Bonsor Complex in Burnaby BC, near Metrotown mall.

Who else is coming? I will probably submit 2 model ships this time.

This year the Fall Show theme is Japan, according to the IPMS Vancouver site.

I might be able to make it. Hoping to get my Lexington ready in time, but it will be short on the air wing side.

I'll bring my little Ottoman sub. Was supposed to be a Kingston class MCDV with an iceberg, but didn't finish in time.

Must be quite an iceberg! Something tells me you probably have a 1/700 RCAF Cormorant flying over it as well....

I won't be making it this year. Hoping to meet you next year.

We had a good turn out this year!
