February 20th, 2008: It's official! Kitbuilders has stepped forward to create a second kit show . . . right around Halloween and located near the center of the USA in St. Louis, Mo.! mark your calendars for October 24-26, 2008.
When I, your faithful editor started in the hobby in the late 1990s, there were seven major kit shows all over the country. Most had crashed by 2001, with only Wonderfest hanging on. So, many folks have been hoping to see a second show emerge, as a sign of the reviving health of the hobby as much as anything else.
I have to say this looks great. Here is a small sampling of the events planned:
- There is a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Night of the Living Dead, including an appearance by George Romero himself as well as most of the cast.
- A model contest (of course) with "open" style judging . . . i.e. your work is judged on its own merits.
- Shuttle bus trips to "The Darkness," a top notch haunted attraction.
- A Saturday night concert featuring horror themed bands.
- A costume contest, Kit Builder's University, a Kit Builder's Challenge and much, much more.
We invite you to check out the website: http://www.kitbuildersmagazine.com/MonstrousWeekend
The Rules:
- Actually PRACTICE your hobby. Just do it because it makes you happy and don't worry about it. Geeze . . .
- But DON'T BUY RECASTS. Artists need support to keep doing it and recasts are typically crappy anyway.
- If you want to use some of our images, cool by me . . . just credit the source as www.creaturescape.com
- If you want to link to us, knock yourself out. Use our banner if you like and contact us so we can return the favor.
- If you find an error, problem, bad link or foolish statement, let us know, but don't be a butthead.
- Support our sponsors because that is how we stay afloat.
- Support horror hosts at www.horrorhosts.com by buying their products
- Support rockabilly radio at www.rockabillyradio.net by giving them money
- Fight the power, wash behind your ears and for heaven sake, if you are surfing the web right now, take a minute to think about how cool monster models are and go immediately to our sale page and buy a kit!
