Model Show at NDK!

The IPMS/CoMMiES (International Plastic Model Society, chapter Colorado Modeling Militia Enjoying Sci-Fi) happily sponsors the NDK model show again this year. In addition to the model show, we also sponsor and staff the Plastic Model Make & Take and the Paper Model (papercraft) Make & Take.

We want to share our love of model-building with you, and hope you catch the “fever”!
