Model Con 419 Toledo 2025 IPMS Model Show
Model Con 419 was held yesterday at the Quality Inn in Perrysburg, Ohio. The show was a collaboration between the IPMS Fremont KitBashers and the Toledo Plastic Modelers. 419 is the telephone area code in Northwestern Ohio and the show was part of a series of events in the greater Toledo area. Most of the venders packed up around lunch time, and judging was completed by 3:40.
This is the second year this show was held in this location, and it has already far outgrown the venue. While the vendors' area was very small with only thirty tables, it was quite crowded and hard to move around. The display area had the same problem and the judges were kept busy rearranging the models to make room for more which kept arriving right up until the model room closed for judging. The official number of entries was not available but I'd estimate the count was around 400, a good showing for the event's second year.

Is the one on the first picture your own?
The modeler of the subject of the first picture is Bruce Hazumi. As I general rule I don't post photos of my own builds at the shows as they are already somewhere on my blog.
Thanks for posting Jeff.
