Global Scale Modeller

Not from Florida (USA), but being there on vacation during the event, I decided to visit the Modelpalooza Modelers gathering and contest. While I'm sure you can find photos of the contest winners on their web site, I wanted to share my experience along with models which caught my eye.

Nice show hosted by the IPMS Orlando Chapter. There was definitely some modeling skills on display at all levels. My whole family enjoyed looking through both the competition and vendor areas, the food was good too.

This was a junior's model (age 8)

There was so much more within the entries that I just didn't have the opportunity to photo but were definately worthy. The vendor area contained a diverse accumulation of vintage and new kits sporting both MSRP, collector prices, and great deals.

The Star Wars cosplay members made it extra special, and let's not forget about the raffle, viewers voting area, and food service.







The whole thing was well run and enjoyable. Thanks for making this "out of towner" feel welcome. Congratulations to the Orlando IPMS group for holding a wonderful and truly enjoyable event. And congratulations to all the participants, especially those who won or placed in this challenging contest.

Impressive models and nice display.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks for sharing, Ben.

There's some awesome work across all the categories but I keep being drawn back to Uncle Fester & Thing - that's superbly painted up.

Some cracking work there, thank you very much for sharing Ben.

Great pics with your boy, I am sure he had a blast!
Always blown away by the incredible modelling at shows...how could you even begin to judge winners??
They all look so good

Thanks for the pictures, few models but very well presented, white tablecloths are very accurate.

Thanks for posting. That was an awesome display. I bet your whole fam had a blast.

Very cool!

Great event with top notch models. It looks like you and your family had a enjoyable time.

It seemed like only a few models, but I arrived very early Saturday morning. Before I left the tables were almost full, but the crowds made it very difficult to get any other photos.
