What is the Spring Show?
A room full of
miniature worlds.
The Spring Show is IPMS Seattle’s public scale-model contest and exhibition. Contest tables and non-competitive displays bring together aircraft, armor, automobiles, ships, figures, Gundam, science fiction, dioramas, and much more. Visitors can study the craftsmanship, meet modelers, and browse kits, books, tools, and accessories offered by show vendors.
Families and curious first-time visitors are welcome. The 2023 show included a Make-N-Take activity for kids and adults, and its report recorded 1,267 contest entries from 220 modelers, with 1,325 models displayed in all.

Some years are organized down to individual contest categories. Others survive as subject groups or broad photo collections. Every available photograph still has a home.
