Minicon 2011 IPMS-Ontario, CA

This past saturday, 6/25. there was a model show/contest , held by IPMS-Ontario division. the event was for all scales, all types. there were some great looking figures on display. along side some awesome looking military figures, planes and some sci-fi.
All though dominated by airplane, sci-fi and militarty builders, there was a small spot for cars as well. lowriders, trucks and muscle cars taking most of the space, our little imports had no chance. there were only 4 people that entered imports(myself included) myself and mario aka endlessprojects were there representing, but we are guessing/told that there either wasn't enough entries for an award or not enough awards to hand out??? don't know for sure, but we did get recognition and compliments from several builders. so, next year we hope to have a catagory of our own.
the president of IPMS did mention that this year was the most entries for car models.

See you guys(IPMS) next year.
