Contests

CONTEST REPORT

WE LOVE CONTESTS!!!

Even if you never enter any models, contests are fun! Join your model-building friends and make new ones. Many contests have models for sale, often at low prices. You never know what treasures you might find! And of course, there are the models to enjoy viewing. Judging at a contest will help you be a better modeler yourself.

In this section, we'll share pictures of models we enjoyed, and results as appropriate.

August 7-10, 2019: IPMS/USA National Convention, Chattanooga, TN
