Hi Scott, to the best of my knowlwdge cars are kind of a newer subject in IPMS contests but they are getting bigger all the time. I believe IPMS shows were primarily started for modelers of non-automotive subjects but fortunately that is not the case anymore...

In Response To: Does an IPMS model show consist of more than just cars ? ie: cars, planes, ships, military, etc ? *NM* ()

However, there are still way more classes for non-automotive subjects. If you've never been to an IPMS contest, you should check them out as there are lots of other genres that are on display and can broaden our horizons to many other types of models.

- Most have dedicated model car judges now. In the past that wasn't always the case......
- To get an idea of how an IPMS style model show views cars & automotive subjects here in Oz if the term "Civilian Vehicles" is used then I have a pretty good idea of the shows judging slant....not always true but usually a good indication.... unfortuneately. *NM*
- Scott, The past few years at the IPMS contest in Liebanon IN, close to half the entries have been in the automotive classes.They have actively sought juidges who are auto modelers. *NM*
