FineScale Modeler – September 2019

34 FineScale Modeler September 2019

Despite a late-season

snow storm, modelers

from across the Midwest

traveled to Madison,

Wisconsin, in early

March for the IPMS/Mad

City Modelers' 24th

Annual Show. This

year’s event doubled as

the IPMS Region 5

Convention, attracting a

bigger crowd than

normal.

FSM editors Mark

Savage and Aaron

Skinner hit the road to

see the models, take

photos, and talk to the

builders. Here’s a small

selection.
