put on every year by the MFCA this show always attracts the very top in the scale figure world. People like Bill Horan and Shep Paine. Kieth Rocco the military history artist is also in attendance showing his old and new work along with a pile of venders.
Great show !!! Shout out to Dennis Levi,who is the MFIC for years now and does an excellent job.

OK guys,ask and ye shall receive!! Jack,no,I did not enter. I don't really like to wait around to five oclock to find out if I got anything. This show is an open concept which means everything is potentially capable of getting a goldmedal or the reverse,nobody gets anything!! But,I just don't like to wait. Plus,I usually don't do well at contests. My Falaise dio didn't even place at the last contest I entered,even though folks here seem to enjoy it,judging by the "hits" count!

Here we go,first...from the classics



Very nice collection of 1/48 scale stuff. The detail is better than most of the 1/35 stuff I've seen!



251/2 mortar track



251/9 stummel



251c/8 medic track



This is a tin "flat" well painted and then placed on a oil painting background. My girlfriend liked this one a lot.


The decorative detail here just blows me away

Spanish sculptor brought some works in progress. Mindblowing art



Check out the hair! 75mm






1812 assault on Russia Cossack and Hussar. Incredible work!!!


I have to say this russia scene was my favorite in the show

The heraldry painted on this is beyond my comprehension



Those are all I have. I tried to enjoy the show more than concentrate on picture taking.

Well,almost a thousand hits so I suppose this was not a waste of time posting these!
Nice to see so many of you appreciating the magnificent artwork at this show!!!
As a footnote I would like to point out something the American Civil War buffs on here may have picked up on. The very first pic on this thread by Bill Horan looks to me like the fig was based on one of the gents in the famous photo from after Gettysburg showing three captured Confederate soldiers in front of a pile of fence logs. What say yea?
