IPMS Vancouver’s Scale Model Fest is a scale model show and swap meet event. It takes place at Bonsor Rec. Centre on the Saturday of the October Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. As with every year, Vanpla has sponsored the “Bernie Wiseman Memorial” trophy for best Gunpla.
This will be a great opportunity to not only show off your gunpla builds but also see other builds with various techniques to learn from. The vendor hall is also a great place to score some cheap kits and tools!
