IPMS Orange County (Southern California, USA) will be hosting its annual Model Contest and Vendor Fair, OrangeCon 2011 on Saturday, October 8, 2011. Location is Cal State Fullerton (University) at The Titan Student Center. Hours of operation: Open to the Public 9AM to 5PM. Hobbyvendor will be there trading decals, detail parts and reading material. I will not be trading kits at this event.
Other news: Rusty Klaus of Cactus Classic Model Show informed me back in July that the show will no longer take place and that this year’s show has been cancelled. This show has a long history that goes back twenty years ago when it first started, around 1990-91. The show will be missed by many modelers around SoCal who attended. Thanks Rusty for all your efforts over the past twenty years.
I will be doing a review of all the shows that I have been attending now for the past several years. Look for this around the first of the year – 2012.
For 2012, I will start to promote this blogsite and do regular updates and do some kit building with photo captions of the build. The site still needs some work to refine it and do some changes as well. Feel free to leave a comment.
Happy Model Building!!! - hv
hobbyvendor blogsite was designed as a quick information site for upcoming hobby events which I will be attending or have attended. It is also a place where those who have questions about hobby products can reach the hobbyvendor. Happy Model Building ! ! !
