We decided at the last minute to drive over to Jacksonville for the show. There was a great turnout at JaxCon this year, and there were plenty of nice models on display. We were even able to get a couple good deals in the vendor area. Not in any particular order, and really tried to get as many shots as I could in a limited amount of time – they closed the model display area at 1:00 for judging.
