If you love figure models and garage kits, but don't care for IPMS shows, this is the event for you!
Wonderfest 2008 (http://www.wonderfest.com/)
Wonderfest is a gigantic model show/contest that is the largest of its kind in the U.S. The main attractions are the huge vendor area, a world-class model contest, guest stars, Wonderfest University, and last but most certainly not least, the seminars!
The seminar programs run all day Saturday and Sunday, and are led by some of the superstars of the GK modeling world - David Fisher from Amazing Figure Modeler, painting icons Steve Riojas, Joe Nejberger, and Saul Alvarez, and sculptors extraordinaire Sam Greenwell (who sculpted my Galapagos Girl HERE (http://www.gkjapan.com/showthread.php?t=873) ) and Mark Van Tine, airbrushing expert Tom Grossman, and more.
For some odd reason, I was invited to join the seminar madness this year, so I will be doing a photography seminar on Saturday afternoon:
Filmy's Foto Fantastic (http://www.wonderfest.com/daytime.html#How-to%20Demos)
(You may have to scroll down to the bottom of the page for the seminars.)
I feel like a rookie attending his first All Star game - even though this is my third WF, I'll probably spend the day getting autographs from all of the modeling icons!
The vendor room is a GK fan's heaven on earth - this is where I picked up Future Girl, Avaris, and a host of other resin goodness last year.
Hope to see some of you there, and if you do make it, please stop by and say hello!
