Click the photo for a direct link to the MMSI Website with more details and photos of past events!

I will at this event once again this year, setting up on Friday and Saturday!
Stop out to chat with myself or Aron and check out all the items in the Competition area as well.

I will post photos and hopefully some videos if I can shoot them prior to the Show opening to the public on Saturday morning!

And I'm still not reset after the shoe last weekend....but the photos are uploaded at least! AMAZING year as the Competition area was Full, no empty tables all the way to wall and the Vendor area was also full! Most of us were in the Ballroom this time and not in the Hallway, which keeps it a bit less congested out there in my opinion.
We are located on a corner space in the Ballroom, sharing a 'wall' with the Competition zone so I stood on a chair on Saturday afternoon (some pieces missing already, so photo does NOT show capacity) to take the first photo.

Love our corner, and this year Mike, Rosa and/or Bud gave us an extra table behind so we had a work station!!!
Very helpful as we were showing the W. Britain's Campaign Kits as Ted was unable to attend.

I URGE you to scroll through my SmugMug Album!!! Some amazing entries as usual at this Show. It just keeps getting bigger and better. Next year is the 50th and should be a good one!

Will be sharing YouTube Videos for a serious look at more soon!

But this is a drop in the bucket.. and FYI, it is SO DIFFICULT so show the box dioramas, but they are some of my favorite pieces every year!

The MMSI crew put on a great show, get lots of people in the venue and have a pretty fun hospitality suite to boot! Socializing is such a fun aspect of these shows. Met lots of new people, saw old friends and lots to look forward to at Expo 2025 in Paris!

Amazing photos Julie and so many, surprised you had time to man your own counter. Nice variety in your offerings and plenty as well. Liked the War of the Worlds dio, different. Looks like a great show to be involved with. Robin.

HOLY SHIITE. Pics are amazing, I am def coming next year. The Capt Jack Sparrow was super as well as the Iron Maiden Eddie Somewhere in Time. Oh and Tatiana's Joan of Arc. This is why I collect Aeroart and one off pieces, they are art and catch the eye like nothing else.

Robin,

Bonus of being a Vendor means we can look thru Competition zone after close and before opening! A perk of working I guess

And now for the YouTube Videos Bruce did!
They are long but give you lots to see that I didn't even take photos of!

Grab a snack, a drink, a cup of coffee or tea....your choice!!!

Those videos made you feel you there and did not miss a thing. Interesting you had no competition Julie, your tables were one of a kind. Certainly some lovely stuff, but I was not swayed, I would prefer to see your display any day. Robin.
