This is a show you should see, if you have the opportunity. The MMSI exhibition is one of the top exhibitions in the country, and ranks with ours (MFCA) and the Long Island Miniature Collectors' show among the premier shows around the world. You will see figures by the foremost painters in the hobby.

Prost!

Great! It is the first time Aron gets to go to a show like this so I know he will be excited to abandon me at the tables while he enjoys the exhibition

I can only take one! Someone needs to stay back and run the shop and more importantly - watch the pups! ^&grin

Was a nice show! If you are local, you should go to:
1 - Support your Local Show and the Dealers who attend
2 - Check out the Competition area!

I did a few videos and an Album on our Facebook page.
Some of my favorites below!

Loads more on FB - still working on adding captions!
