On Saturday, May 19th, IPMS/MOSS hosted our 8th Annual Scale Plastic Model Show and Competition -- MOSS CON 2018 and the IPMS Region 5 Contest and Convention -- at the Branson Convention Center in the heart of historic downtown Branson, Missouri.
42 Modelers entered 195 models into the competition. There were 31 open categories in which 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place Awards and Honorable Mention certificates were available. In addition, awards were presented for the Judges' Best of Show model, the People’s Choice model, the Richard Carroll Memorial Award, and our two special Theme awards.
11 Vendors were on site selling model kits, modeling supplies, and aftermarket items on 40 vendor tables!
