Thanks, Brett! Terrific video! We appreciate your participation and helping to make our Inaugural show a success! Look forward to seeing more of your work next year! See you at Expo 2025!

Thank you for the kind words regarding my M2A3 Bradley IFV and for getting my best side as my wife and I were walking into the facility ahead of you 😂

Always great to have alternatives out there. Hopefully this show continues to grow and I can attend some day.

Brett, So glad you made it and enjoyed the show. Hope you can come again next year, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you for shouting out my USS Defiant. I'm humbled by your praise. Your models are fantastic. That B1 was a sight to behold in person! I hadn't come across your channel before, so your display at the show introduced me to your work. I've subscribed and look forward to catching up on all your builds.

Nice summary! Great to make your acquaintance at the show. After seeing your work in person, I’ll DEFINITELY be learning from your channel!

Lot's of great models. Looks like a very fun show!

Great coverage of a terrific show. 👍

It was so cool to meet you in person! Seeing your builds in real life and not just in videos was awesome

Terrific video! Usually I skip through model show vids looking for stuff I like to look at. The expo format plus your intelligent narration made me slow down and watch the whole thing

Been watching your videos for a while; great work! I mostly do 1/35 armor and figures but once in a while do a wing thingy or something that floats. Amazing work on those tables at the show in Utah!

That is a GREAT FORMAT…. Showing all your work collectively …… I’ll be watching this again…. I do enjoy these shows, so much Creativity and Talent… Always so much to look at….. I always spend at least $100.00, I always look for Vintage Kits, and aftermarket products…. I enjoy your channel, learned a lot from your videos…. Thanks for sharing and taking your time putting this together CHRIS 🇺🇸

Hi Brett. That looked like a very cool show. In Britain shows don,t tend to be this big , but no less enthusiastic. You hit the nail on the head when you said that it is great fun being with like minded people. For me putting my models on the table is not the be all to end all. Its the meeting people and exchanging thoughts and ideas that I look forward too. If I win a medal well thats a bonus. There were some spectacular models on show including your own , but you do yourself a diservice. You are a truly brilliant model maker and I don,t see how you could improve your ability's. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to your next one. Thankyou for your time and effort , cheers buddy.

Great video Brett! Once again, kudos to your narration, I much prefer that than just video with often-times terrible music! Thanks for representing! And you look quite suave in the hat!!❤

My buddy Curtis was the one who.did the Sherman with all the paratroopers on it. He enjoyed the show. Thanks for the video.

Mark Batson, aka “HobbyDude 007”, attended an event in South Carolina recently that was formatted in a similar manner. Except at his particular show, the modeler chose one of their models to be judged, and each modeler got a 36” square (IIRC) display space. I’ve only been to one IPMS contest (actually the only contest I’ve ever been to - and I won a gold), but I think I like this format better. I think the slideshow is the best way to shoot events like this as well. Gives us the opportunity to pause on a subject clearly. Great coverage! Peace and love.

Great video, Brett!! It was also nice to meet you, although briefly. There were four of us from Idaho that came down to the show, two from the Boise area and two from N. Idaho. Looking forward to coming down again next year. Loved that you got a shot of my A-6A with the folded wings towards the end of your video. One thing I definitely learned is that I need to do bases with my builds, they make the subjects pop! Jeremy Elliott

I wish i had know about this. I would have loved to have attended! I'll be there next year!

Wish we had this in Ohio or Kentucky. The show was awesome, and I really enjoyed it. Sadly, Hobby shows don't get the publicity on tv. Only here on KZfaq. Enjoyed this and keep up the good work!

Many thanks for sharing this great video of the model expo, we have just had a large model e po here in Melbourne Australia, we had approximately 750 entries and there also a buy and sell on the last day of the show, did any of you models get any awards, best regsrds from Australia, Les

Excellent video, Brett. Very nice way to conduct judging.

I live in the Lake District in the UK and we are on the training flight path for the RAF and USAF low level flight training. In the last few weeks RAF Typhoons have rattled my windows as well as Chinooks and AH64Ds flying in formation. The USAF V22 Osprey and F-15 Strike Eagles. Now all these are low level training here, some at night but the majority in the day and they make a hell of a noise. I would not want to be facing down something like the F-15 that's for sure.. Anyway great content on here my friend, loving it

Hello mr. Hammer!when i see all those magnificent unique stunning badass pieces off art,i become smaller,and smaller and at last so so tiny little small.with best regards and sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your fellow modellmate.christian

lovely work! plenty of beautiful builds!

Looks like a great show love the concept on judging I'd be interested to go up next year in display some of my work

Hey Brett, great video and some fantastic models on view, i hope you done well with your entries, thanks for sharing, cheers Liam

King 9 won't return is one of my favorite twilight zone stories

awesome video nice work on the tables congrats on the wins keep them coming

I liked the vlog style of video. I've been watching for years, and I use a lot of techniques I learn from your videos. My airbrush gave up the ghost recently, and I was wondering what you'd recommend. I was thinking about a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution, but it's quite expensive for me because I'm 17 with no job because im learning to fly

Great video and commentary about the show.

So this is the place where you used to be able to see the Chinooks flying over😄 Thats so cool! i remember you mentioned this the other day. After i have witnessed a low pass of two US Army chinooks, i was deeply impressed. This looks like a great expo and i like the way they approached the judging. I havent heard of this type of procedure before

I wasn't there, just a tad too far away, but there is no doubt in my mind that this Expo format was vastly superior to the standard IPMS format. I particularly like the idea that the modeler can be associated with their work and that others have an opportunity to meet the people behind the work. I think the smaller turn out in certain subject matter is more indicative of modeler's interests in general, or perhaps what they feel comfortable building. Shows / Contests that divide into categories will, by definition, give a different impression of what is popular in modeling just because of the congregation of the same types in the same area of the show. The Rocky Mountain Expo format, I believe, promotes more models being shown by each modeler, versus a category style show where a modeler may only bring a few of what they consider to be their best work. For this last reason, I think that the Expo format gives a more nuanced view of the hobby, but also presents some challenges to deal with if the show grows in participation. Challenges meaning, "Will there be enough space for everyone?" , "Will there be enough time for viewers to see everything?", "Will it be more difficult to remember a the myriad numbers of modelers one could potentially meet?". Nonetheless, this is a vastly superior format and I can only hope that IPMS will get off of it's hidebound duff and consider similar changes.

The WWI plane you were not sure about,looks like a Curtiss JN4 Jenny. That M2-A3 Bradley is absolutely gorgeous!! I am a former 11M so I know the Bradley intimately. I liked the whole vid. That Lancaster you pointed out is HUGE!! My 1/48 is bigger than I thought it would be. Great presentation again, loved it.

Great work, and sick shirt!

Great video 😊

Great video

Really cool model show. 👍

Wish I had something like this in my nick of the woods. Living out in the middle of the country and not having the funds to go to st.louis just sucks. Still hope to get a home soon so I can get the rest of my hobby equipment and materials out of storage. Can't do much in a rv .

I think the biplane , just got a quick look, was an SE5 I didn't recognize that really big space ship, was it scratch built? I truly believe this is the kind of format a model show should be in, display by builder. Makes a lot more sense and easier to set up.Thanks for sharing

Nice one mate 😉👌

i wish somting like this too greets from switzerland. O_o

To bad I life in the Netherlands or else o would have come!

Would have loved a closer look at that vintage Monogram model, the Flap Jack (at 12.27), by Joe Porche. Been looking for that kit at a decent price for the past 15 years. 😅 Those I’ve found were priced too high for me, had parts missing or were partially built.

I wish there were some of the shows around me. There are none here that I can find.

💀👍🏻

Hammerhead....what part if the country are you from?

That’s a a-wing not a u-wing
