That 70s Theme Contest - June 2012

Photobucket
June 15, 2012
The year 2012 marks FORTY FABULOUS YEARS OF BPMS!!!
What better way to honor this momentous occasion than with a theme contest celebrating the early years of the club! During the 70s the BPMS was formed, became IPMS Chartered, hosted the Big Apple Con 10/11/1975, NoreastCon 6 05/1977, and was active in bringing the Intrepid to NYC starting in 1978 (even though she didn’t arrive until the early 80s).

AIM: Build something that members would’ve built during the 70s. That means anything that was kitted up through 1979 is eligible. Simple. I would prefer if members keep mods down to what was possible in those days. I don’t want anyone breaking the bank on aftermarket resin and / or photo-etched parts, but mods with sheet plastic, putty, etc. are all acceptable. Aftermarket decals are also fine.

I am planning on some special certificates to commemorate the following:
• Air – Bert Berg
• Armor – Art Gerber
• Figure – Leon Kestenbaum
• Sea – Cap’n Bart Holmes
• Sci-Fi – Dave Cockrum
• Misc – Joe Turner
Contest Sponsors:

• Hugh Alcock
• Joe Bergman
• Tom Knoll
• James Maroney
• Bobby Pokorny

Easy enough! Come to us with any questions. Have fun!
