That was amazing. Feeling very nostalgic seeing that incredible collection of sci-fi ships, characters and creatures. Allot of really talented people there. The attention to detail on some of those builds was outstanding.
That was some amazing modeling talent being displayed on the floor. You covered it very well and, thank you for bringing back some old Sci-Fi memories.
Ya jammy bugger lol, I hope you had an amazing time, what sold it all for me though was the kids stuff coming through from such young talent, modelling in the future is in very safe hands. Thank you.
Beautiful kits by so many talented modelers! Great video of the Wonderfest models and really nice camera filming! One day I hope to be there in person!
Wayne, A Ginormous Thank You for sharing an early look at the Wonderfest entries, Your videography is excellent and I have downloaded it to a Wonderfest file' Thanks again, and all the best to you and the rest of the "Gang"
I live in Louisville ky, and this video was the first time i ever heard of a con like this. I also enjoy your videos and the models you have done. Please keep up the videos. I am learning alot from you and adding what i learn to my own model building.
Very nice walk a round video of the contest room!! Nice and slow around each table is very much appreciated! Especially for us who weren’t fortunate to be able to go!😎👍👍👍
Wonderful models, so much to take in! Sometimes actually too much in one spot, I usually find it quite hard to focus on just one model at such shows. The presentation style has not changed over the last decades, it still is "put it on the table next to the other models, maybe a piece of paper showing what it is and who built it". Arts of work, just piled up. It may be my inner Monk, but seeing the "batch of "Bad Batch"-ships" not all going into the exact same direction felt unnatural :D. Thanks for sharing!!!
Really great video and whilst personally not really into ScFi modelling I love the subjects and wonderful skills on show. There is some excellent talent on show and the boundaries are certainly been pushed in terms of the imaginative use of LED lighting. Really enjoyed the watch……thanks for posting…….👍
So many cool things, Alien standing over newt beneath Hadley’s Hope, Lonestarr and Barf’s Winnebago, GunStar in its rack, Tron Recognizer, 2001 EVA pod, Lost In Space off-world Chariot, Hong Kong Phooey and a wild Aztec Lou.
Can't believe somebody made the planet eating turd probe from original star trek!😂😂I love that episode.This is the high quality model building that was once on movie screens before everything went cgi.Beautiful work.
Wow! What an amazing display of fantastic work from the builders....my hats off to all of you, you all did such a fantastic job in your builds. I think I would go a bit nuts having to decide who wins what cause I would just say hell...give everyone 1st place lmao. Thanks for posting and sharing this video Wayne.
Just got back from Wonderfest a few hours ago. Wow! The models were amazing this year. That Metropolis Maria was incredible, and someone did a fantastic Swamp Thing bust. Been going to Wonderfest on and off for about 30 years. Still SO much fun!
A fine selection of wonderfully recreated models in minature.. I really must make it out to the States and visit this fine celebration of all things Wonder'ful
Wonderfest has come so far since Larry Johnson started it as a toy flea market "show" back in the late 1980's. It was a great way for all of us to buy and sell the kits we loved and had difficulty finding pre-internet. We joined a modeling club that met at Mr. Gattis once a month, led by Lee Staton, who had Hollywood connections, and soon Lee brought a whole new experience to the show. Not long afterwards Lee took Wonderfest over after a vote was held during one of the meetings, threatening that he would quit and take his Hollywood connections with him if we didn't give him full control. Can't blame him, as he said, he was spending a lot of his own money and time and was getting no payment in return.
Thanks Wayne for this look at wonderfest. The talent here is off the scale.I really liked the large scale s.h.a.d.o. skydiver ,but everything here is just incredible
The Falcon! R2 moving on the X-wing! The Enterprise! The Galactica and a Viper! Incredible detail. Loved the dioramas especially the walker on Endor and the onset filming of a Star Trek original episode …genius! Amazing stuff brother hope you had a blast. Safe journey back across the pond 👍
This came up randomly on opening RUclips, and I loved it! Great to see the Universal monsters getting so much love still, and as for the skill and imagination - all I can say is Wow! Thomas the TIE fighter at 16:46 certainly made me smile ....😂
I did enjoy it-- I don't recall previous years being so big and crowded. A good sign, I trust! Some very nice creative efforts-- not the usual available kits I mean.
Definitely the premier model show on the North American side of the ocean Saw a few builds there that I recognize from Lou, Oggie and Ken Spriggs. Lou's Star Trek TV set is awesome Lots of Marauder builds there
I would like to think you from my heart for you making this video on wonder fest 2023 I love to come oo wonder fest but you made it make me feel like I was there I hope one of those years ok can come to wonder fest I saw your models you did a great job on them I know your great modeler and painter to good luck and have a wonderful and great 👍😃 day take care

There is definitely a modelling renaissance going on. And people like you and Lou Dalmaso and Simon Mercs and Steve Neil laid the groundwork.

So impressive to see all these works of art. My respect for each and every builder. Great video Wayne, thanks for sharing it with us. 👍
Thank you for sharing this great video Wayne 🥹
Their is a lot of talent out there fantastic models 😊

I want that millenium falcon. It's my favorite star wars ship
Beautiful mate, absolutely beautiful. There's some talented people out there! Still on the Kraken i see!
Lol. Definitely
Really great video and whilst personally not really into ScFi modelling I love the subjects and wonderful skills on show.
There is some excellent talent on show and the boundaries are certainly been pushed in terms of the imaginative use of LED lighting.
Really enjoyed the watch……thanks for posting…….👍
The hardest job...being a judge at this competition!
So many cool things, Alien standing over newt beneath Hadley’s Hope, Lonestarr and Barf’s Winnebago, GunStar in its rack, Tron Recognizer, 2001 EVA pod, Lost In Space off-world Chariot, Hong Kong Phooey and a wild Aztec Lou.

The show looked amazing
There is some seriously high level awesomeness happening here. Man, Neal’s Nightmare on Elm Street diorama is absolutely jaw dropping🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Words cannot describe the talent these folks have. 17:44 Now, this is what folk want to build via large scale modelling.
That looks like a great show. And there's Lou. You guys have a great time.
Excellent showing! And some fine damn camera work to boot. You really can enjoy the displays without a bunch of shaker cam effects 👍🏻
Just got back from Wonderfest a few hours ago. Wow! The models were amazing this year. That Metropolis Maria was incredible, and someone did a fantastic Swamp Thing bust. Been going to Wonderfest on and off for about 30 years. Still SO much fun!
I recognized aztec Dummy’s work amongst the models, and then saw his cameo at the end of the aisle😂 I hope y’all have fun!
Amazing talent some people have and great video well done
Some amazing builds...but the one that really tickled my funny bone was "Thomas the Tie Fighter" LOL!
A fine selection of wonderfully recreated models in minature..
I really must make it out to the States and visit this fine celebration of all things Wonder'ful
Wonderful video, lots of amazing models there. I loved pausing it and identifying some of them.
I miss going. It's been like 3 or 4 years. I hope to be there next year. Wonderfest is so awesome.
16:44 "Thomas the Tie Fighter" made me smile. 😂
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic models, i really like the Salems lot vampire figurehead with " Danny Glick" at the window also the Cloverfield monster
Some great models. Particularly like the Jem H'adar Battlecruiser and the Enterprise G.
That Star Trek Doomsday Machine...better than the one the original show used.😂😂😂
We have come a long way in 50 years with modelmaking.

Thank you.
The figures’ painting is 1st class - possibly the most difficult genre to master.
Brilliant Wayne 😀 👍
Great Job mate, spotted Lou a couple of times....Hope you guys had a great time....
This came up randomly on opening RUclips, and I loved it! Great to see the Universal monsters getting so much love still, and as for the skill and imagination - all I can say is Wow! Thomas the TIE fighter at 16:46 certainly made me smile ....😂
I wasn’t aware Bill Krause finished Excalibur NCC-1664 as well. I thought he’d only bring the Enterprise-G. Really cool builds!
Thanks! I had planned to bring to bring both.
Hope you enjoy your time there
I was hoping to run into you this year at the convention, really enjoy your channel.
I'll keep my eyes peeled today.
Wow!!! Thanks for this !! I hope to attend this eventually
I did enjoy it-- I don't recall previous years being so big and crowded. A good sign, I trust! Some very nice creative efforts-- not the usual available kits I mean.
Yes it was!
