Would you recommend going to an IPMS Nationals for someone who hasn't attended one before?

If you can spend the time needed, don't sell it short.

Don't go for half a day and think – I think you'll get all you can.

I can't believe I missed that booth.

And sometimes the fun of it, as it is going to a swap meet, is looking at the dis and dats and the little pieces and parts and going like, oh my God, look at that, a photo etch for a sovereign Mercedes.

I didn't know they had that or whatever it might be.

you have to drive for three days to get to this thing so keith let us know when did you get started with model building
