Why come to MosquitoCon? Well, here's just a few reasons:
- It's the largest annual model hobby event in Jersey! (Our 2-day JerseyCON show in October will be bigger, but that's not an annual thing)
- Attendees state that it's the most enjoyable model show they have ever attended!
- NJIPMS's show staff are seasoned professionals, with 18 annual shows under their belts - 2008 will be show No.19.
- MosquitoCon boasts more vendors/better vendors than most IPMS USA Regional shows! This year we will have additional table inside the model room!
UPDATE: We've sold 90 Vendor tables!
- Lighting in the model room is superb!
- Number of models competing meets or exceeds the amount that show up at most IPMS USA Regionals!
- Modelers attend our show from near and far. In the past we've had attendees from Europe, South America and Asia!
- We have new and improved award plaques for 2009!!
- NJIPMS has many ship modelers in its membership and the ship categories are filled with great models!
- You may run into ModelWarship regulars Avery Boyer, Bob Cicconi, Dan Kaplan and Keith Bender, among others!
This year the show theme will be 1919-1939 Between the Wars. For ship modelers, that means you can build any number of ships. Head on over to the NJ/IPMS website for full details, which include a show flyer and model entry and registration forms, the latter of which we encourage show attendees to fill out ahead of time. The show flyer has directions, list of categories, list of special awards, rules and other pertinent info.
Here's a shot of last year's Best Ship and Best in Show - Gary Kingzett's 1/192 scratchbuilt USS San Francisco. 2008 was the 4th year in a row that a ship took Best in Show honors!
Hope to see many of you there!!
