THE CHANGING FACES OF WAR

An Informative Scale Modeling Exhibit

IPMS Manila has done it again!  The exhibit entitled “Changing Faces of War” is an unprecedented scale modeling event ever staged in the Philippines.  It is an exhibit containing information on the history of the different world wars and the respective machines used over these years. The display covers the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Cold War and up to the modern times.  This is not the usual “model-meaty” exhibit that you usually see.  This undertaking was inspired by the “Tank Story” Exhibit staged by this club at the AFP Museum two years ago.With the help of the Management and Staff of SM North EDSA, IPMS Manila was able to bring about a unique and educational exhibit for the public.  This exhibit will run from June 1 to June 13, 2010 at the 4^th Floor, The Annex, SM North EDSA. click to continue

We won....AGAIN!

by Noel Carpio

"Noel, Congratulations! IPMS Manila was voted Chapter of the Year for Region 13!" This was part of an email I received from our good friend and Regional Coordinator, Jorge Mustafa. Another email came partly saying, "Your plaque is on its way to you. Congratulations to IPMS Manila" - from our IPMS USA's Director for Local Chapters, Tim Darrah.

I couldn't wait. I had to tell the first person I had to inform. That was Dr. Eric Valera, former President of this club, who with his cunning and energy drove the club to another milestone. An accomplishment representing how good Filipino Modelers are. Eric couldn't be happier after hearing the news.  The club was informed through email and through the discussion forum.

Being Regional Chapter of the Year for Region 13 is not easy. Our accomplishments last year will be compared to six other equally competitive clubs in our region. From there, when the vote is cast, the winner will be communicated to the Director for Local Chapters of IPMS USA.  The Regional COY will vie for National Chapter of the Year for the entire organization which will be announced and awarded on the IPMS National Convention.

The club was really happy when they heard the news. This accomplishment simply shows that what we have been doing in 2009, as we have been doing in the past, coincides with the objectives, the culture and the spirit of IPMS. This award fuels ourselves to do more things for this beloved hobby. As this club's new President, I will ensure that our members will keep wanting to build models and will keep wanting to reach out to other modelers who may need our tips, our assistance and even our friendship. That is what this club is for. That is what our objectives are geared to. That is what IPMS Manila is all about.

We bought this kit about a year ago when we were just starting the hobby and also an addition for our collection of helicopters. It’s a cheap kit also! We could buy another one for other country marking, it cost around Php225 pesos. Click to continue...
