Miniatures & Models
Show Off Your Builds
The Models & Miniatures Expo is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and fandom in miniature form. From sci-fi ships and fantasy creatures to props, dioramas, kitbashes, and custom builds, this is a place to share the things you have made.
This is an exposition, not a contest. There is no judging and no pressure—just creators displaying their work, talking about techniques, and inspiring each other.
What Can I Bring?
Bring models, miniatures, props, and dioramas that fit the spirit of science fiction, fantasy, movies, television, comics, gaming, or fandom.
- Straight-out-of-the-box builds
- Painted miniatures
- Custom-built models
- Scratch-builds and kitbashes
- Props and dioramas
- Science fiction, fantasy, movie, TV, comic, or gaming-related pieces
Please do not assume your work is not “good enough” to display. If you made it and you are excited about it, bring it in. Young creators are especially encouraged to participate.
