THE MichToy Roadshow
The MichToy Roadshow will be set up at the
2023 Military Miniature Society of Illinois Show
Oct. 20-21 2023
Marriott Schaumburg
50 N Martingale Road, Schaumburg, Illinois, USA, 60173
This show is considered as one of the top-level exhibitions of painted miniature sculptures in the world. Visitors will see many examples of this broad and diverse art form of realistic sculpted and painted miniatures, which range in size from under one inch to over 12-inches tall. The artists' work represents a wide range of historical periods, from ancient to modern times, and includes military, sports, science-fiction, movies, and other topics alongside the increasingly popular fantasy themes. Those submitting their work for exhibition range from youngsters, to adult amateur hobbyists, to
world-renowned professional artists, and their work may be painted from commercially available kits, conversions, or original sculptures.
Need something special? We can’t bring it all so just let us know what you need and we’ll bring it for you.
