University
Keeping with the tradition of educating as well as entertaining,
we are again offering our whole day painting and sculpting classes-Kitbuilders
University (Hey, we could't really call it something else at
our own show, could we?) These will be held Friday, October 24th,
and feature all the great instruction from world class painters
and sculptors you've come to expect...
Beginners
Painting - Advanced Painting
- Sculpting
Kitbuilders
Challenge
So you've taken the courses, and you've had some time to put your
new skills to use...It's time to put your knowledge and skill to
the test...
Join
a team of fellow modelers, get a box full of stuff, and see what
you come up with at the end of the day! Seriously! Each team will
receive all the same components to construct a scene, but it's up
to them what to do and how they do it!... Once completed, each entry
will be placed on display, and judged, with prizes for the winning
team(s)... The number of teams and members per team will be determined
by the amount of entries... Also, as they are happening at the same
time, people participating in the KBU classes October 24th will
not be able to do both...
Kitbuilders
Costume Contest
Maybe 1/6 scale and smaller figures aren't your thing?... You might
like working in bigger scales?... Maybe you just like to dress up
like a freak? Doesn't matter to us, but get your best costume ready,
and wear it to our Costume Contest... There's a $500 first prize
waiting for the one we pick as the winner!!!

October 25th, 8:00pm

Judging/Prizes
Seminars
and Demos
Make sure to check out presentations being given by some of our
hobby's luminaries sharing their secrets for building, painting
and sculpting Garage Kits. These will be held every other hour,
both Saturday and Sunday. If scheduling allows, there will also
be a panel discussion on the state of our art...
Please check back for the latest information on presenters and schedules!
Exhibitions
We've managed to coax the "Bobs" of Dullam/Causey
to bring their collected works to display for attendees. If you
aren't familiar with their work, check out their site! If you see
it there, odds are it will be here, in person! We're also going
to be showing some beautiful examples of modeling, done by our writers
and other notable artists...

Darkness |

Rated
One of America’s Best Haunted Attractions by USA Today,

Magazine, and Hauntworld.com |
We'll
let their site
speak for itself, but not before telling you that starting at 5pm
Saturday, we'll have a shuttle bus running from our hotel to their
facility every half hour until 10pm... Admission for The Darkness
(at a reduced rate!) is included with SOME Monstrous Weekend admission
packages, or regular full admissions can be purchased there.
Dealers' Room
Now, some of you might be wondering why we put this with the other
events... Well, the way we look at it, a well stocked dealer room
is an event unto itself! Be sure to save up some cash to spend on
kits, toys, comics and other memrobilia, presented by your favorite
vendors from around the country and world! A Dealers list coming
by the end of September, 2008.
Are
you a dealer yourself, or know someone who should be? Then this
is where to get your information.
Concert
While the bands have their own page, this
is a good place to mention Saturday night's concert! Admission is
included with SOME Monstrous Weekend ticket packages, and will also
be available for $20 at the door...
