ROCON - our annual scale model contest

A Full Day of Scale Modeling Fun and Competition

Each year ROC CITY Scale Modelers host ROCON, a one day scale model contest and convention. This year will be our 43rd year! For 2025, ROCON will be held at a new venue -  Minett Hall at the Dome Center, 2695 E. Henrietta Road, Henrietta NY 14467, with easy access off the NYS Thruway and Interstate 390. The building is Disabilities Act compliant. This year's show will be held on September 21, 2025. 


The Event Flyer, Entry Form and applications for Dealer/Vendor Tables and Category Sponsorship Opportunities  can be downloaded below.

Herb Wood Memorial: Outstanding US Naval Aircraft
Bob McRae Memorial: Outstanding Japanese Aircraft

Large Vendor Area

At ROCON, we have vendors that range from local and regional hobby shops, kit collectors, and those of us who have found that our "stash" has gotten a little too big. You're sure to find the kits, decals, books, paints, tools, and modeling supplies you need for your next project. 

Great Raffles

Take your chance on the big ROCON kit raffle - you can't win if you don't play! Winners are announced throughout the day. In addition to the award you won in the contest, you may go home with more kits to add to your collection.

General Admission

General Admission

 Bring the family for a fun day - you don't need to be a member to enjoy the superbly crafted models on display. Get the kids interested in a good old-time "analog" hobby! Modeling helps develop hand-eye coordination, three-dimensional thinking and problem solving, not to mention an appreciation for history.
