#IPMSVictoria's model show had some really good Sci Fi models. The Space Battleship Yamato had sound effects and remote controlled animation of the turrets and anchor chains. The K'tinga Battlecruiser and Space Clipper were also very impressive for their size and detail. The K'tinga won gold.

I entered some of my #BattleTech miniatures in the #IPMSVictoria 2025 model show in the Gaming Figure (for BattleMechs) gaming Vehicle (for a Hovercraft and a helicopter) and Science Fiction/Fantasy Figure Diorama categories. I didn't stand a chance int he first two against the Warhammer enties, but no one else entered in that diorama category so I won by default.

I went to the model show today and entered my snow diorama and some stand alone minis. No one else entered in the "Gaming Figure Diorama" category and I won by default. Not the glorious victory the Falcons deserve, but I'll take it.

I'm signing up for a PixelFed account and I'll post some more photos there rather than inundating Mastodon 4 at a time. I'll boost it on this account if you're interested.

Many game figures displayed for competition with a sign showing it's the "Sci-Fi and Fantasy Figures C10) Gaming Figures" category.  Most figures are from Warhammer 40k or Warhammer Fantasy but there's are also some three Mechs from BattleTech, an AS7-D Atlas, a MAD-3R Marauder, in First Taurian Lancers colours and a Cougar Prime in Clan Jade Falcon Gamma Galaxy colours.Many game miniatures of vehicles displayed for competition with a sign showing it's the "Space & Sci-Fi D3) Gaming Vehicles" category.  Mostly Warhammer 40k tanks and what looks to be large power armour/small mechs. but there's are also some two battletech minis for an H-7 Warrior VTOL and a Maxim hovercraft both in First Taurian Lancers colours.
