Orangecon New Venue

IPMS Orange County hosts an annual model contest each October or September called OrangeCon.

OrangeCon has proven to be the largest and most respected gathering of modelers and their models in Southern California for more then 20 years.  The models displayed cover all types and eras of subject matter.

OrangeCon features Vendors and Special Events, but is most for the contest portion of the event with a large number of contest categories as well as special theme awards and as many as 600 entries which is remarkable as it is only a one day event.
