Check this out, it doesn't look like there will be many changes even to the memberships or MasterCon.

VLS are poor a package.

I do NOT buy or order that VLS.

Nah, likely means that VLS items will be distributed by MMD, the wholesale branch of Squadron. Your local hobby emporium will still be able to order it.

My questions from the announcement on the Squadron & VLS websites is that the VLS Mastercon contest will be moving to Texas (SMO's home). SMO is a sponsor of IPMS NCT's ScaleFest contest & show.

Is this a second show in the area or will Mastercon be blended into ScaleFest? Will SMO continue to support the NCT show? Will NCT be called on to staff & run Mastercon on behalf of SMO?
