The Amazing Model Contest

Yes, our annual model contest is AMAZING!

Amazing Figure Modeler logo

The WonderFest "Amazing" Model Contest is focused on all types of science-fiction, horror and comics models. It's the biggest contest of its type in America, and it's fun to look at even if you don't build models yourself!

With 599 entries in 2012, it took up the entire ballroom and featured some of the best modeling you'll ever see.

Can we top this contest in 2013? Modelers, prepare to show your beast, er best, in Louisville!

 

Pay for two entries and enter up to 8 more free!

That's right: We want to blow the doors off the contest again this year and we've got the room to do it! Fans have been asking to be able to enter more models without spending a fortune and it made sense. So show us your best!
