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!
Much appreciated! You guys did some great work there organizing and running the expo! Well done to you!
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 😂
Ha ha ha, sorry! But, seriously, your Bradley was amazing and I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell you in person!
Great coverage of a terrific show. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
You're most welcome! Shame I didn't get to talk to you about your defiant in person! It was quite impressive! Hopefully I'll see you around at future shows, thanks for the sub!!
Nice summary! Great to make your acquaintance at the show. After seeing your work in person, I’ll DEFINITELY be learning from your channel!
Awesome! It was a pleasure!!
Brett, So glad you made it and enjoyed the show. Hope you can come again next year, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Oh for sure!
@joshuabuck7835 I really enjoyed the show and look forward to next year. I loved your model of Zeratul with the hydralisk sliced in half. I gave it my vote for People's Choice! Awesome work!
It was so cool to meet you in person! Seeing your builds in real life and not just in videos was awesome
Same to you! Seeing your work and your Prowler in particular was a treat! Hope to see you at the next event!
Always great to have alternatives out there. Hopefully this show continues to grow and I can attend some day.
That would be great!
Lot's of great models. Looks like a very fun show!
It was!
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
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
King 9 won't return is one of my favorite twilight zone stories
It was a well done diorama!
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

Much appreciated Chris!
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 TH-cam.
Enjoyed this and keep up the good work!
It would be interesting if model shows got more televised attention! Thanks for watching!
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
Woah, that would be awesome to see all that, although I'm sure after a while it becomes somewhat annoying!
Great video and commentary about the show.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!!❤
I'm always happy to represent and I'm always wearing the hat, I love it!
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!
Awesome, thank you!
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.
Yeah, the overall format was very conducive to actually meeting people and talking about their work, and having been to both types of shows now I can say the Expo was way more friendly and inviting. And I agree with what you said about how many models an artist will bring, I had close to 20 models at the expo, but for the IPMS show I'm planning on attending this September, I will likely only have 5-6, There are a few things I know wont do well in the respective categories, so there isn't much incentive to bring them.
As far as the challenges you bring up, those all sound like good problems to have so I'd take them any day over IPMS format! Cheers mate!
Excellent video, Brett. Very nice way to conduct judging.
Yeah, I think it was a good system.
lovely work! plenty of beautiful builds!
I agree!
awesome video nice work on the tables congrats on the wins keep them coming
Much appreciated!! Thanks for watching!
My buddy Curtis was the one who.did the Sherman with all the paratroopers on it. He enjoyed the show. Thanks for the video.
Right on! It was an amazing piece, impressed with how many figures he was able to fit on the sherman!
@@HammerheadModelMaking That was my piece. Sorry I didn't introduce myself to you but I did get your stickers and patch. And yes, it took some arranging to get them all to fit. When I got down to the last three, that was very interesting. Thanks for the compliment. Im trying to get Will out here next year because he is an awesome builder.
@@curtistowers9817 Yeah, I can imagine, but you pulled it off very well though! Looking forward to next year!
I wish i had know about this. I would have loved to have attended! I'll be there next year!
Sorry you missed it, it was great, but yeah, they're planning it again for next year to stay tuned!
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.
Excellent, thanks for the feedback!
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.
I agree with your sentiments! Thanks for watching!
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'm glad you all made the trek down here! Yeah, a simple base can help, but your A-6 was awesome regardless!
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
Thank you! Cheers!
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
Awesome! That sounds like a lot of models!! Yes, I received a few awards: My F-105 took a bronze as well as Best Presented Subject, My recent infight C-47 received Best US Army Aviation Subject, and my A-36 received Best Weathering.
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
You should, based on the feedback from this year next year should be much bigger!
Hey Brett, great video and some fantastic models on view, i hope you done well with your entries, thanks for sharing, cheers Liam
Thanks, I did well for myself, took home a few special awards!
@@HammerheadModelMaking well done sir 🤣
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
I've found the Gaahleri Airbrushes to be high quality for the price, I would recommend the 98D:

@HammerheadModelMaking Wow that looks really nice. Only 70 bucks? Maybe I'll be able to build my F-4 before the competition next month after all. Thanks a lot
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
Yes, this was where the chinooks would fly over the house! This judging style has been around since the 70s, at least in the scale modeling world, but hasn't really caught on yet. But, it was very fun and I enjoyed the whole experience!
Really cool model show. 👍
I'm inclined to agree!
Great video
Thanks for the visit!
Great video 😊
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for the info on the Jenny! I wish you could have seen the Bradley in person, it was so well detailed, even the optics were detailed inside!
@@HammerheadModelMaking I was a gunner on a M2-A1 in the Persian Gulf war. When we got back, we received our M2-A2’s.
@@christopherjordan5423 Right on man!
Great work, and sick shirt!
Ha ha, thanks man!
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 .
Yeah, that can be rough! Hopefully one day soon you'll get the space you need!
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
The spaceship is the USS Defiant from Star Trek Deep Space 9, I'm not sure if it was scratched or not, I wasn't able to speak to the artist, but it looked great!
@@HammerheadModelMaking Thanks, I really appreciate the information, showing my age :-) I recently found out that there were models from the movie 2001 put out years ago. Mobieus had a majority of them and there are 3 scale sizes of the Pan Am clipper. The largest was 1/72 . Checking eBay they are very proud of the pricing, however when you consider kit prices of today's kits not too far out of line. I enjoy watching your channel, and that model show blew me away Happy Modeling, Cheers Bob, Pacific Northwest
To bad I life in the Netherlands or else o would have come!
Well, there's time to start saving for next year!
i wish somting like this too greets from switzerland. O_o
Cheers mate!
Nice one mate
😉👌
Thanks!
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.
Sorry my man!
@@HammerheadModelMaking no worries. Enjoyed your video so much I watched it twice, pausing at all the models on display. 😁
I wish there were some of the shows around me. There are none here that I can find.
Thats really unfortunate!
💀👍🏻
Hammerhead....what part if the country are you from?
I'm in Utah, Salt Lake Valley
That’s a a-wing not a u-wing
I don't recall calling anything a U-wing.
