The Seattle IMPS competition was the first of 2024. We took the trip up early morning and set up our kits for judging. The other modelers were very friendly and there was a large turn out. I took first in several categories but mainly in the “Advanced large scale”. In that category I took first and second. This was when the West Coast Sweep idea was hatched. We also visited International Toy and Hobby and got to talk to the legendary model builder and owner Tom.
