The DeLoream is my son David's build and I am so proud of him I am about to bust my gut. I have been with him through the whole build and he is a perfectionist.

The sheer talent on show just left me watching in complete awe. Such phenomenal talent.

I'm so very proud of my Dad (David Jacobs); he's very pro at building anything, and he is working very hard and unstoppable! Way to go, Dad!!!

What a fantastic place to view peoples work! What great talents too. I especially love the different types of space ships, even with the ones you can see inside the cockpits, through the tiny windows. So realistic!

Lou Dalmaso is such a model model-maker. He's a wonderfully fearless ambassador for the whole hobby, showing everyone how to do the most incredible models!

Absolutely awesome Wayne - thank you for bringing Wonderfest to us. The skill level involved - my hat is off. Every one is a winner!

My son painted the Wolverine/Zombie. Some great statues all around. Thanks for posting this.

What an amazing video! I want to go in 2023 and I want to bring, barring no more shipping delays, my Deagostini Millennium Falcon to showcase! It would be such a thrill to have one of my pieces alongside all that talent that’s there!

It was great to meet you today. I hope you are having a wonderful time. You are right. Those models are all just amazing.

Been scoping youtube all day for coverage. I couldnt be there but one of my clients with builds i did was. Thanks for uploading!

More than the skills of these modelers, what really impress me is their imagination to come up with these ideas. This is my third year coming to the event and I intent to repeat it year after year. It's worth not only for the models but the good deals you get in the vendors area.

Extremely well done video! Very clear, bright and well lit, and slow enough panning to get a good look at all the wonderful kits. Thanks for shooting this and putting it up, it looks great. Nice music too!!

Another winner, loved the ambiance the music created. Made my creative side twitch to life, and that’s not a bad thing Cheers!

Thanks for uploading this. I started going to WF back in 95. I'm one of the old guys in this hobby. I haven't been able to go in several years. So, it's a real treat to watch this vid.

WOW, FANTASTIC VIDEO, THE MUSIC, THE MODLES THE CLARITY OFF THIS VIDEO IS WONDERFUL, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE 👍👍🤟

The Trek props look like Richard Coyle's work.

that was so amzing, thank you for sharing. Some truly wonderful artist on display

Wayne, thank you for taking a few minutes to chat with my son, Anthony, and I today. It was a real treat. He was awful excited to meet you, as was I. We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Thanks again.

Some incredible stuff there

a staggering amount of talent on display.

You freakin' had me when I saw the sign saying Corby - I was like - oh is there a model fair in the town 7 miles away from my house... then you got on a plane?!... then you tour planes in a museum?! then you tour... Lou Dalmaso's house!!! ...and you meet up with sprueVerse! ... I'm not Jelly... I'm not Jelly... who am I kidding... so jealous! :D

A paradise! Thank you for showing us. The Modellbau in Dortmund/ Germany, where you can at least see something like this, unfortunately fell into the water again, as they say here.

4:55 - That is incredible

These models are all excellent, and picking any one as a favorite would be impossible. That said, I wish that you had taken more photos of the Traveling Man spaceship from the classic "Lost in Space" episode, "Welcome, Stranger," at 11:06. That was very well done, and brought back plenty of memories. Thanks for posting this!

What a amazing show. Thank you so much for sharing your video of it with us all.

You got a closer look at the Space Shuttle Orbiter than I did but I got to see it launch. Which trumps which is anyone's guess. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Thanks for taking the time to record, edit & upload - much appreciated. Exceptional quality, great lighting and nice relaxing music - perfect. Glad you had a great time - and always nice to see a fellow Brit attending 👍

Incredible, I have rarely seen so much Awesomeness in only one Video. Couldn't take my eyes away from the screen for one second. Would love to say this or that was the best pice in the Video but that would be unfair. Because their was so much greatness on the Table, I wouldn't wanted judge those pices according to their beauty. 👏👏👏

Mr Green goes to Washington, some amazing models there dude , talent blows me away.

First time attending Wonderfest and I really enjoyed myself. The only let down was not having awards being handed out (to see who made what). I was informed by other modelers, that vendors weren't happy to have everyone leaving the vendor area to attend an awards presentation in the past. With that said I brought 6 model kits to the contest and was extremely grateful they all got some kind of award/merit. I was shocked that some amazing models I really liked weren't awarded anything. Thanks for sharing video form the show! Cheers.

This was Excellent. You did a Fantastic Job , looking forward to # 2 Video .

Great job Wayne! Looks like you caught just about everything, I was able to spot some of the great modelers Lou-Ken-Oggie-Randy and Chris . Happy you are in the states hope you enjoy yourself while you are here.Thanks for a real pro done video, TAKE CARE!

There are some really talented people out there. I could never do any paint job like those.

I want that Maxx and Julie the Jungle Queen Model so bad!

I'm pretty sure that the shuttle pod from Star Trek is your and (our) good friend Phill's Mr Sprueverse! At the 17 mins and 10 seconds to 17 mins 24.5 seconds! If it's not his I'll eat my hat!

Great camera work... music was perfect, thank you for sharing with us you experience,.. I did learn one thing very important... I am glad I wasn't one of the judges, I couldn't imagine trying to pick the best out of all of those.. my brain would have exploded... \o/ ahhh!!

Many thanks for sharing, there is some great and very skilful work on show, inspirational.

Awesome video can’t wait for the part 2

That was some excellent film work Wayne! You showed some things that I had not seen in the photos that have been posted, and the video showed some things that just won't show in still photos. I am glad you had a wonderful time and met a lot of folks. Really wish I could have been there.

My Lord Wayne but you shot a lot of gorgeous pieces.But the three that stood out to me were the BTTF Delorean with Marty and Doc Brown floating above the billboard,that was Spectacular,but it wasn't screen accurate since Marty was on the ground when that scene happened,but for nostalgia's sake it was awesome. The next was that Giant 3 foot tall Godzilla or for accuracy of the japanese term Gojeira,but Wow I would love to have that in my collection,along with Mothra,Ghidora,Rodan,Mothra catapillar,Mecha Godzilla,and even Baby Godzilla,and the rest of those monsters too. Lastly the most shocking and most accurate even tho it appeared to be about 1/2 scale or so was the 1960's Bust of Vincent Price,that think was so lifelike,I would give anything for that piece. But other honorable mentions are Herman Munster Statue,very detailed,the Salems Lot Vampire,and not the first Medusa with the black face paint but the second one,that was creepy and beatiful but I never looked directly into her eyes as I didn't want to turn to stone. Alas Wayne you are so lucky and fortunate to be able to go to shows like tthis,I wish I could afford to go like you do,but my congrats to you for going and sharing such mouthwatering video of everything.Take care Wayne.

Great photography.Well done.What a tour of Wonderfest.

Think I saw your Wnderfest video last year. And thanks for the smooth camera work.

The Iron Giant was dope!

Errm there is one "space ship" that looks like it was made from a air brush! (about 12 mins in!)

Hope you enjoyed your trip. I'm only 7 hours by car and have never made the wonderfest trip. Good on you.

Just Wow! Brilliant video Wayne .. that competition room is wall to wall model art at its finest! Too many stand out pieces to mention individually! Liked your intro too… was that George Washington’s House I saw you outside? .. if it was, I went there back in 1989 during a one month coach trip from LA to NYC! Looking forward to part two .. and to see what goodies you have acquired & what we can all look forward to seeing you build in the future! Enjoy the rest of your stay!

Some fantastic models there. 😎

Wow!! Awesome job video taping this!! Really nice and steady 👌 👍!! And I just saw a few busts of the show that I just watched on Svengholie!! I was a Teenage Werewolf!! And it's in black and white!! So for us to see it in Color!!?? Nice interpretation and coloring 👌!!! And all the other excellent work!!!!!!! I'm thinking about getting into Coloring Busts and other things that I like!!? Thanks for the great video!! God bless you all today 🙏 Shalom

Amazing..... Tank You.

thanx for posting this my friend!!!

Thank You Sir

Great work there! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to go one day.

Nice job...hope to see you next year....

Wayne, my wife Frances and I really enjoyed meeting you. Like you I'm overwhelmed with everything. Your video really captured the display room, great job.

Excellent merci !

Excellent video! Kept me interested start to finish, great pace. I guarantee there isn't enough awards, I'd hate to be a judge!

Great works! Great images!

The most impressive aspects for me were ; a) The sculpting skill to create recognisable features. b) The painting skill to blend realistic skin tones. IMHO it's one thing to make / paint a fantasy model and say 'It's supposed to look like that' but quite another to recreate an original object / person familiar to fans and make it instantly recognisable. Doing an impression shouldn't need a catch phrase for the audience to know who it is, and in the same vein IMHO a model shouldn't need a label for you to recognise the person.

Thanks for the video, I'm a new subscriber ( from Lou's ). Anyways can't wait for the Time Machine, and to go back through all your previous videos. Goodbye for now from California. John S. .

Wow some of these female figuers! And love the War of the Worlds ship, that is rather cool. And you've got to love R2-D2!

Brilliant models!!!!

I Would hate to be a judge for this the talent is unbelievable. Enjoy yourself Wayne .

Great Stuff, I know it was a US show, but only one British Space ship? Someone should do a Studio Scale Liberator, packed with LEDs

All I can say is wow!

The walking corpse 3:12 and those spiders...wow!

So much talent, glad i dont have to judge, seems to be near impossible task.

A tip of the hat to all, great job !

Thumbs up for you buddy, Cheers from Canada.

How do you judge an event when there is so much talent out there especially some of the detail some of tha painting just blows me away

Awesome video Wayne!

Super Video, Danke 👍👍👏👏❤️❤️

Enjoyed your vid, it was a GREAT weekend!!!!! 👍👍👍

Impressive, most Impressive.👏🎭

Amazing wow 👍

Hey Wayne I was there. I looked for you and Lou but I couldn't find you. Maybe next time? I'll be posting several videos to my channel of WonderFest 2022

J'ai retrouvé mes yeux d'enfant 😯. Merci!

Wayne .... all I can say is ...... WOWWWWW , great video

WOW 😮

Like the Eagle Transporter *Space 1999(?) about 18 mins in!

Hi Wayne liked the 1812 overture and the video the model fest

I lov that Jack Nicholson Joker bust

Wow. 3d printing has come a long way

crazy video it's so good

Can you imagine if we held somthing like this over in the UK. And the Americans would be like "Is that all that you,ve got!" 😱🇺🇸

What'd you think of Udvar-Hazy? That place is incredible. Looks like getting to Wonderfest was an adventure unto itself. Excellent!

11:50 Is that a deck fighter from "The Last Starfighter"?

How on earth do you pick a best of show they are all fantastic

I can't imagine, judging in this room.

Oh shit Tars from Instellar film i lov that machine/abrilliant film Interstellar all about interdimensional space travel between other worlds ..... if such athing is technically possible

Amazing stuff ! I'm unfortunately out of the game since everyone can 3D print now. I do everything by hand so I'm definitely out of my league.

wow

Yes - great video Wayne - BUT WHAT DID YOU BUY?!!!!!!!!!! (lol)

Wow, another modelling competition video - but no Sherman tanks, crumbling war torn scale buildings, or more zombie sharks in resin pours! New to modelling here, and I’m wondering what’s scratch built, what’s 3D printed and what’s out of the box though extremely artistically painted? How does one know, and how are competitions judged? Regardless, thanks for the effort with this presentation.

WonderFest is more of an artist's show then it is a model builder's show.....amazing stuff as always

Hice todo un ejercicio de memoria!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁

Don't monopolize Lou's time, now!

Super

I'm there also. I'll be looking for you.

wow wow wow wow nice working very hard
