This is the next Best Practice resulting from John Figueroa’s Toolbox initiative.  This paper, and attachments, help chapters gain experience in attracting the growing Gundam modeling segment to local shows and events.  The author, Don Johnson, of the Wings and Wheels chapter in Massachusetts illustrates how chapters can set up categories and judge Gundam entries.  You will also gain knowledge, especially understanding what criteria to look for appreciating and judging a Gundam model.

Don has documented what is working for Wings and Wheels chapter's growing entries from this segment.  He has also collected opinions of others, including Gundam practitioners.  The attachments are presented as is and do not represent IPMS USA policy or IPMS/USA Nationals guidance. Other chapters will have best practices to share also. Direct your ideas and questions to Don Johnson or Mark Norman.
