Hi all, I’ve attended exactly one IPMS contest in the last 30 years and noticed something that concerns me as someone who plans to enter in the future…
To weather or not?
The IPMS judge I spoke with said they give no extra credit for weathering, though they had a place on the entry form to identify if the intent was was weathered or new from the factory, which seemed to contradict his statement. Why ask if it doesn’t matter?
I noticed the kits, in this case aircraft, that won, were mostly not weathered, so that made me think it is actually a handicap, no mater what the judge said.
What is your experience?
