It's a wrap! CAPCON 2023 is in the books
16-Oct-2023
IPMS Ottawa's scale plastic model show attracted enthusiasts and entrants from far and wide.
After 4 years away – CAPCON 2021 was cancelled due to the global pandemic – CAPCON 2023 came back with a roar.
Feedback from all attendees and participants has been overwhelmingly positive, and the quality of the presented models was very impressive.
Results have been posted, and we are tabulating data and photographs for later release.
THANK YOU to everyone that organized, set up, and ran the show... all attendees and participants... all supporters... and last but not least, the Canadian War Museum for giving us an exceptional and existing venue.
