ASMS Annual Show & Contest

The Austin Scale Modeler's Society hosts an annual model show and contest - "The Capitol Classic".

The 2024 Austin Scale Modeler's Society Show and Contest was held on November 9 at the Williamson County Expo Center. The theme for this year's contest was "The Movies". Contestants submitted many amazing entries and, as usual, the quality of the work was excellent. This year saw a total of 557 entries, with the largest categories being aircraft and automotive. We also saw a significant amount of Armor and Sci-Fi models.

Winning "Best of Show" at this year's contest was David Hogue for his SBD-2 Dauntless.

This year's Show Theme Award went to Henry Nunez Jr. for his Sgt. Horvatt.

Some additional Best Ofs...

As in years past, the show featured a vendor area with hobby vendors from around the region, including Austin's own King's Hobbies and William's Brothers Model Products of Taylor, Texas.

The "make and take" program is always a hit with the kids, who are provided with a kit and given some materials and guidance from ASMS members.

And as always, lots of door prizes were given away and awards were presented to the "best of the best".

Thanks to our sponsors and to everyone who came and participated.
