Sponsor highlight–Leavenworth Contest and Show, October 4, 2025

Only six days until the Leavenworth Contest and Show, or five days and a wake-up as we’d say in the Army. If you build models but have never entered a show, this is a great place to start. We have modelers of all different calibersas well as junior class (under 18), and you can volunteer to join a judging team, which lets you see what judges look for in a model. We’ll have a full vendor room, and huge raffle.

And speaking of the raffle, today we’ll highlight another sponsor. Atlantis Models descriptes itself as Build and Be Happy! Building models can be an artistic discovery and a journey through history. Develop your skills and build a collection with Atlantis Kits. Atlantis is looking to grow a new generation of modelers that can help expand and grow the hobby for generations to come.

Atlantis History:
Atlantis Model Company was founded in 2009 by the former owners of Megahobby.com, Peter Vetri and Rick DelFavero. We manufacture injection-molded plastic model kits and hobby related products. When we started Megahobby.com back in 2000, we had dreams of becoming more than just another retail hobby shop. We wanted to become an actual model production company like the Aurora Model Co and Revell-Monogram. As Megahobby grew, it gave us the opportunity to create Atlantis and finally come out with our own branded model kits.

Thanks to Atlantis Models for their donations to our contest raffle.
