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.

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.

How to Participate

Bring your items to the Art Room, and event staff will direct you to a table for display. All ages are welcome, and staff will be on hand to help safeguard displayed items.

Presented By

The Models & Miniatures Expo is sponsored and presented by the Midwest Society of Sci-Fi and Space Model and Toy Collections .
