IPMS Ontario Chapter was host to their annual Minicon Model Contest and Expo in Ontario, California. It was a great turnout with about 250 model kits entered into the contest. Best of show was this High Gloss hot rod, which was the best gloss paint job I've ever seen in my life. The dealers brought out some great kits to sell. One dealer was even selling 1980's Anime related model kits and toys that was a nice revisit to my childhood as I owned at one time nearly everything on the table! Pony Lives! Here a sample of some of the kits entered into the contest: Although I didn't win any awards this time around, it was a great turnout for everyone involved and I'm looking forward to Minicon 10! ©2009 Leonardo Flores article and pictures.
