MosquitoCon 25 is a Wrap!
Thanks to everyone that came out yesterday. We’re still going through the numbers to get specifics, but we had a huge day as far as walk-in visits and models on the table. Some fantastic work was on display, not the least of which was Dan Kaplan’s 1/700 IJN Shimakaze, which took best in its class, Best Ship, and Best in Show.
We’ll have a list of the rest of the winners and tons of photos to post once the club’s membership gets a little rest and are able to pull the data together. Until then, please check out the Facebook page for information on the very successful Silver Anniversary show.
MosquitoCon 25 is GO!
