There was something to please all kinds of model enthusiasts during the event, with a range of different displays on show.
Locals John Caradog Williams and his grandson Mathew Puw were on had to show off a tractor which had been carved out of a solid block of steel by Mathew's uncle Aeros Puw.
Jim Hesbrook created some outstanding models made out of long matchsticks. His latest creation was of the recently fire damaged Notre Dame Cathedral which took him nine months to construct using 8,000 matches in total.
Jim and his wife Jean were this year's winners of the 'Best in Show' prize for their efforts.
The North Wales Model Vehicle Show returned to Bala in 2018 after being cancelled the previous year.
