Why are the “mature subject” models segregated at WonderFest when other shows don do it?
Again, our goal is not to be like other shows. Our primary mission as a convention is to bring new, younger modelers into the hobby. As a result, we maintain a “family friendly” atmosphere. Not everyone wants to expose their children to nude or graphically gory kits, and that’s their parental choice. Rather than ban or cover these models up, we have created a separate NC-17 contest area. This way, all modelers are represented–and parents don’t have to worry about their kids running into something that they might deem “unsuitable” without fair warning.
