Liverpuncher Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) This past week I had the pleasure of attending the World Expo in the Chicago. This miniatures / modelers convention travels every three years and features some of the best work in the world. It took me over three hours to go through the entries submitted for judging. I could have taken longer. The next convention will be held in the Netherlands. (It's good to have goals right?) Enjoy!https://goo.gl/photos/6odRoFYit8dSypnMA Edited July 9, 2017 by Liverpuncher 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If the realization that you may never attain that level of artistry doesn't depress you...never had that effect on me, those are some BEAUTIFUL sources of inspiration. The free hand on some of the creations was INCREDIBLE. WONDERFUL STUFF! Thanks for the post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpuncher Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 I wasn't depressed seeing the work - although it was very humbling seeing the level of artistry on display. I'm really inspired. The free hand work was truly exceptional - but so were the dioramas. I forgot to upload one of my favorites - a Nazi train yard. I uploaded three pictures of the piece with this post. (The thing was massive - like 4' by 3' by 3'. ) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucian523 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Wow that train yard is pure craziness and I think definitely takes the cake. Thank you for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Very nice seeing all the variety. I'm surprised at how many figures I recognized aside from Reaper's. The only downside of pictures like those is that you don't get an idea of the scale of each (needs more Forscales or bryangles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
