The 2026 Model Show & Contest, organized by the San Joaquin Valley Scale Modelers, is a public scale modeling event that welcomes participants of all skill levels and ages. The show features IPMS-style judging, with separate junior and senior categories, special awards, and vendor tables. This year’s theme focuses on subjects from George Lucas films, alongside all traditional modeling categories. Spectators are encouraged to attend, and no IPMS membership is needed to enter or compete.
