So this past weekend on Saturday the 6th was Modelzona, IPMS Phoenix’s annual model event. It was held in a church gym in Mesa, and was truly a sight to see. There were 504 entries in all categories, from individual figures, to large dioramas. I only took a few photos of some of the entries, but I gotta say, there sure were some fabulous models to be seen!

So, without further ado, I’ll start with Figures and Sci Fi. There were lots more entries in these categories, but these items caught my eye for one reason or another…

More to come… stay tuned!

Here are some of the aircraft entries:

1/32 Scale

1/72 small Jets

Biplanes, all scales

1/48 aircraft (yes that BUFF is 1/48!)

again, this is just some of the entries in those categories…

Continuing with the show, I’ll move to armor & cars. I didn’t take many photos there, although there were a LOT of entries in both categories…

Cars (a very small sampling)

1/35 armor

I feel bad now that I did not take more photos in these areas… but then again I skipped over ships completely… sorry…

And lastly we have dioramas… plus an oops on my part as the gaming figures that I’m leading off with were in the figures section, not the dioramas, but the way that I uploaded them to my hosting account boned that up…

and last but not least, the one that no one expected…

Enjoy

Great photos, Stik, and some beautiful work on display, very good lighting effects, too. I especially like The Mandalorian, the Tornado, and the Rommel/88mm dio. But the icing on the cake is the Spanish Inquisition[:D]! Thanks for sharing!

Great pics Stik!! Thanks.

Haven’t been to a show in 4 years. I really miss them. Lots and lots of great builds. Usually picked up a few great tips at each one.

It’s nice to be retired now, and shows resuming, so that now I can finally attend the shows.

Thanks for the pics. The Revell Tornado is a tough kit to get together. Nice job on that one. Tons of great builds here.

You weren’t kidding. There are some beauties there. I particularly like the red mech and the Me410.

WP, Real, Chad, I’m happy to hear that you guys like the photos. It was my first time doing that at such a size event, and there was even more models that I left out. Next year I’ll do better [;)]
It was also an opportunity to take part as a judge, so that was a learning experience as well. All I can say is that there is a serious amount of modeling skills in the area, with contestants traveling from several neighboring states, as well as local folks. It was quite a humbling experience to see the caliber of work on display.
