A smaller show than normal, many of the Europeans who come to MFCA to display their figures are saving their vacation time and travel dollars/euros to go to the World Miniatures Expo this fall (in Chicago). imgur.com/a/v1yDS About the pictures… Imgur used to have a tool to arrange by name/date. That tool has been gone for months; so unfortunately the pictures are in a random order. It's a common complaint by many about changes to how Imgur works, and frustrating as you won't see someone's pieces grouped together as I walk around and take shots. Grrr! But enjoy the pictures anyway! :) |

The random arrangement of the pictures is an awful way to view the displays… if anyone can suggest a better image hosting site, I'll re-upload them and edit the link so you can view them in order. |

God job with the pics. I thought that King Kong diorama was a very creative presentation, mounting inside an old full size TV set. |

Thanks for taking and posting these images. A small clarification: the triennial World Expo is being held in Chicago on the 7th – 9th of July. If you have ANY interest in miniature art, and can make it to Chicago that weekend, this show will feature many of the best artists – historical, fantasy, flat art and who knows what else – in the world today. The last time this show was in North America was in 2005, so this is not a "oh, I'll catch it next year" type of opportunity! The annual Chicago Show, hosted by the Military Miniature Society of Illinois, will be held as usual in October (the 20th & 21st, I believe). |

Don… Oops! You're right, I'm confusing the World Expo with the MMSI show dates; thanks! |

Thanks for sharing. Haven't been in a few years but I was surprised by all the fantasy stuff and models. |
