Sanford Cup 2026 Results!
Move over, IPMS nationals! This year's IPMS NENY chapter Sanford Cup competition saw 10 excellent models built by club members competing for bragging rights and the enduring fame of the winner's name added to the trophy. For the uninitiated, here's a link to the Sanford Cup rules.

Photos of all the entries appear in a gallery below, but let's dispense with suspense and announce this year's winner: Brian Fowler and his 1/35 armor diorama, Failed Gamble in the Ardennes.
