It has taken almost a year putting this together , bacause of the permits . This will be the first time that WDW opens its doors to our hobby. This is the "Promo" flyer, its not the same title we had before (as the one I posted last year) we had to change the title and categories. All the modeler contest fee will be donated to "Give Kids The World" of Florida and the entrance wiil be free to all....I am also in conversation with the main administration office of McDonalds at International Drive, to have the oportunity to gather model builders of the central Florida once a month at there restaurant , it will not be another club ,just friends having fun .
