	The <a href="https://markathy.wixsite.com/model-con-419" rel="external nofollow">2026 Model Con 419</a> show is now less than two weeks away.  And, like every IPMS event we need JUDGES!  So if you're planning to attend our show on Saturday, April 18, please plan to serve as a judge.   We don't ask you to suffer for helping out, our judges will get pizza during the Judges' meeting.  Thanks for your help!

		Haven't decide yet whether to come to Fort Wayne? Check out all the great seminars we have scheduled through the week. Learn anything from improving your build to photographing it to the history behind and around it. There are still spots in some of the paid workshops, too. Learn to airbrush and weather and paint miniatures.
