The 31st Annual "Cajun Modelfest" Contest

The Baton Rouge Scale Modelers Club invites you to a scale model contest that we affectionately call the “Cajun Modelfest”. At the contest there will be a raffle, kid’s Make and Take, and Lunch/ Snacks for sale on-site and model vendors.

Every year the “Baton Rouge Scale Modelers” club picks a contest theme. The plastic scale model that best depicts the theme will win the theme award. This year’s theme is “Welcome to the Jungle”. The theme entries must depict persons or things that pertain to the jungle. Examples might be anything to do with jungle warfare, to a car with a name of an animal which resides in the jungle (puma, viper, spider), to a figure wearing jungle camouflage, to a diorama depicting a jungle. The more creative you are the better your chances are on winner the Theme award.

Our contest will be held within the beautiful college of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The best way to find our event is to use Google Maps or one of the many other GPS locators and type in the wording “Parker Coliseum at LSU”. Once you have found a map of Parker Coliseum you will notice that where “Highland Road” intersects with “Stadium Drive” Parker Coliseum has a parking lot. Once you have parked within the parking lot the building where the contest will be held is located south end of the parking lot and behind Parker Coliseum. The building name is the LSU Ag Center 4H Minifarm Building.

TrailCon

Show Theme: Big Screen, Little Screen

To qualify for the theme award, the model must be something from a TV show or a movie.

This will allow all types of models, subjects and figures from cave men to science fiction.

The model must list the movie or TV show where it is from. Figures do not have to have a TV show or movie listed, as many figures are not connected with a particular show or movie, though they can be if the modeler wishes.

WE HAVE ADDED TWO NEW CATEGORIES THIS YEAR!

They are: "Picture This" and "Retro Kit, Pre 1975 Tooling", which were themes last year.

"Picture this" requires that the entry have a matching picture to the entry. If the picture is black and white, paint the model in gray scale. If the picture is in color, and the colors have shifted, then the model must be painted to match the color shift.

"Retro Kit, Pre '75 molding is any kit that is built from molds that were made before 1975. Retooled molds are not allowed. The modeler must work with the older molding, and can improve the kit with workmanship and any modifications, scratch built parts, and after market parts they wish. 

Memorial Awards: Craig Johnson Armor, and Richard LeGaye Coast Guard (Civil) Aircraft, plus Arlo Schroeder Aircraft

Oregon Modelers Society Fall Show and Contest

The Oregon Modelers Society is proud to announce our new Fall show and contest. We have moved the event to Camp Withycombe, located in Clackamas, Oregon. Attendees will find the new location much more convenient to get to, it is only half an hour from the Oregon border, and has many food options close by. The building we are using was completed a few years ago at a cost of 6 million dollars. The lighting is fantastic, parking is plentiful and there are a couple of WWII tanks out front...what more could we ask for.

The show will be held to the same high standard of our past events. We produce our own awards for the contest and this year we are rolling out a new design for both the "First Place" and "Best Of" awards. Build your best and see if you will be one of the first to be awarded one!
