and accomplished model builders known throughout the armor modeling
community, everyone in attendance is sure to find something that is sure
to please. The hard part now is deciding which ones to attend.
On-line pre-registration is open at the AMPS site and is a great way to
save time by getting the paperwork out of the way. You can also sign up
for the 2 scheduled tours set for Wednesday and Thursday when you
pre-register for the show. Visit the AMPS website (amps-armor.org)for
more seminar and show details.
More show updates to follow soon. So, lets get those entries finished
up and ready for transportation as we have less than 2 months before Show
time.
By the way, Aaron and the guys from Finescale are there annually to support the show and to meet attendees. Their photostand will be up as always. Thanks FSM, for your many many years of support to the armor guys!
