2003 MPHS Model Contest

Ask any attendee what the hi-light of every convention is, and you'll probably always hear rave comments about the scale model contest. The highly anticipated event doesn't only offer to model builders a chance to win, but more importantly provides the opportunity to show-off their hard work and talent.
