About the Event... BayCon is a model show and competition hosted by the Bay Colony Modelers Club. It is held each year in early November and is the last IPMS Region 1 model show of the year. The show has 37 categories which are judged under the traditional first, second, and third system, as well as 11 categories judged under the open system awarding gold, silver and bronze for the best subjects, allowing the level of work on display to determine the type of award given. Additionally, there are 15 special awards and challenges for individuals to compete in. The show provides a separate vendor room, offering a variety of model kits, tools, & products for sale. Each hour between 11:00am and 3:00pm there is a raffle drawing of both traditional and special prizes. Of interest, Hank Gilbert from the Brews & Sprues modeling podcast is present to interact with patrons and share his modeling experiences.
