Join us on March 13, 2027 for an modeler-centered celebration of scale modeling at the Petaluma Community Center in the heart of the beautiful California wine country. The Wine Country Model Expo brings modelers together to display their work, share techniques, learn from one another, and enjoy the hobby together.

Models are displayed by modeler rather than separated into contest categories, giving participants an opportunity to present their work together and talk about it with fellow enthusiasts. Modeler name cards accompany the displays, and participants wear name badges to help everyone connect. All modeling subjects and skill levels are welcome.

The Expo offers a juried evaluation using an open Gold, Silver, and Bronze system, with models evaluated on their own merit rather than ranked against one another. Participants may request informal verbal feedback from the jurors. A display-only option is also available.

The Expo features educational presentations by accomplished modelers.  There will be also a raffle with an outstanding selection of kits and other prizes, and a dedicated vendor room.

Bring your models, meet fellow enthusiasts, and join us for a day of inspiration, learning, and camaraderie.
