Vancouver IPMS Fall Show 2017

[Haijun watcher]

Here's pics from Vancouver's Fall Show in Burnaby, British Columbia today. I had a great time seeing all the kits there, even if my own entry, a Dodo models 1/700 Peacock class corvette in Philippine Navy colours, didn't win in any category.

The theme of this year's show was "Southeast Asia", although most entries seemed to cover a variety of other eras/topics.

There was actually a good turnout, as one can see from a pic of Bonsor complex's main hall in the very last picture at the bottom of the post.

1/350 ISW USS Langley



1/350 Trumpeter Repulse


All the entries in the 601/Out-of-the-box nautical category, including my Peacock class corvette.


1/200ish paper model of cargo ship


All the entries in the submarine category:


Nautical diorama category entry:


1/720 Revell HMCS Cayuga, Korean War-era.


1/350 Combrig HMS Kent, late 19th century/early 20th century British armoured cruiser.


Plus a sampling of pics of the models in the other categories:


I really liked these two 1/35 Canadian Army Leopard C2 tank builds, presumably from the Takom kits.

I spy some of Roger Torgeson's work in there. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Stellar is right. Love that enormous scale Nicola Venture.

I forgot to add a pic from another category that featured ship models that used more PE and aftermarket parts.
