Midwest Scale Madness model show.
Sept. 13, 2025
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin
This is a small to medium sized show. If anybody goes, get there early as the tables get very crowded with models on them. This show is about 60-70% automotive related.

I definitely hope to get down there this year for this show. I recognize some builds from a fellow model club member in those pictures too. How are ship models represented?
Ship models are not very well represented. Almost next to nothing. 
At last year’s show when I went, there was only 8 ship models.
Based on my past excursions to this show, I would break down this contest as the following.
Approximately 60% automotive, 10% armor, 10% aircraft, 10% diorama, 5% sci-fi, and 5% figures/ships.
BUT…every year is different. The numbers can fluctuate.
Thanks WhatIfRebel. What are the vendors like?
From the few times I’ve went to this show in the past, most of the vendors are 80-90% automotive related.
Thanks all for the info. I just saw this on IPMS site and am thinking of attending. I could only find the flyer, but no entry forms. I see some in the photos; do they hand them out there or …?? Thanks again.
The registration forms might not be available till later in August. MSM does not have a regular website to go to for information. But they do have a Facebook group. At past shows, usually there are extra registration forms sitting on tables in the hotel lobby for people to fill out if needed.
Thanks so much. One more question, if you know. Do they use the “no sweeps” rule?
I don’t know. You may want to email Tim Kasper and ask him. His email is on the flyer.
I’m not planning to go to this show next weekend. If anybody else plans to go, please take plenty of pics if you can and post them in this thread to share so everybody can see what was at the show.
