Deutscher Plastikmodellbau Verband (DPMV)
« on: April 18, 2012, 07:35:31 AM »
Visited the 6th DPMV Konvent on Sunday. DPMV is kinda the German equivalent to the IPMS (although there's an German IPMS, too) and the Konvent is their version of the Nationals. On a MUCH smaller scale, though. Here's what I found in the way of whifs, but I included some cool real-world stuff, too.

Starting off with images of this year's DPMV Gemeinschaftsprojekt (community project): take a Revell StarWars EasyKit pocket Jedi Fighter and let your imagination run wild!
Some really cool builds came out of this. Last year's project was the Revellobox 1/72 Do 28.









^ Translation: "Scottish Modelling - buy one, build two!" Clever use of a mirror resulted in two models for the price of one!





^ The blurb on the display translates to: "I looked at the rules closely many times. And I AM allowed to attach a bomb!"  :P





^ French Iron Sky - Ciel de Fer?

But, wait, there's more...











^ Strikemaster trialling Harpoon!









^ Okay, not really a whif, but soooo beautiful!  :-*



^ Some of Diethelm Berlage's Marder projects. On the left a Marder with Barracuda netting, in the middle a proposal (not realized) for an SPAAG on a Marder basis and on the right in the background the "referee tank" of a gunnery range.

Some assorted real world stuff!















Some cool presentation ideas:












^ Thought this one was really cool!  :)

That's it! I'm quite surprised how well my little Samsung Point'n'Shoot fared under these lighting conditions.

I really like the plastic frame display bases for the "Littler Wars" two plane displays. Something I may stealto use one day.

Gerald Willing has shared some images of the DPMV Konvent model show (20130504 - 20130505) at Modellversium.de.  There appears to be a couple of what-if/fantasy/science-fiction subjects on the display tables.

The Deutscher Plastik-Modellbau-Verband (DPMV) most recent event was held on the 17th and 18th of May, 2014 in Fuldatal, Germany just a bit north and east of the city of Kassel. 

Some images of the event were uploaded to Modellversium by Enrico Friedel-Treptow and can be viewed at this link: DPMV Konvent 2014 (Teil 1)
