This show is considered as one of the top-level exhibitions of painted miniature sculptures in the world. Visitors will see many examples of this broad and diverse art form of realistic sculpted and painted miniatures, which range in size from under one inch to over twelve inches high. The artist's work represents a wide range of historical periods, from ancient to modern times, and includes military, sports, science fiction, movies, and other topics alongside the increasingly popular fantasy themes. Those submitting their work for competition will be ranging from youngsters, to adult amateur hobbyists, to world-renowned professional artists whose work may be painted from commercially available kits, conversions, or original sculptures.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the show this year to see all of the great works of miniature art on display, learn new techniques at the seminars, purchase items from our vendors all while enjoying seeing old friends and making new ones," said Joe Berton, President of the MMSI.
