AMPS ישראל
'אמפס' ישראל הוא סניף למעשה של 'אמפס' העולמי, ונועד לאסוף את שלל בוני הרק"מים הישראלים, וכן להוות מקור ידע ולימוד באמצעות בנייה של אותם נושאים. הרעיון העומד בבסיס ההקמה הוא לאחד את שלל הבונים הישראלים למקום אחד בו הם יוכלו בעיקר להנות מהתחביב שלהם. לשם מטרה זו, קבוצה קטנה של בוני דגמים התאחדה בכדי ליצור את הסניף .
יתר על כן, זוהי תשובה לכמה מהקריאות אשר ביקשו חלופה הולמת וראויה למצב הקיים, אשר רבים אינם שבעי רצון ממנו.
אז, בין אם אתם רוצים רק להצטרף אלינו, או אפילו להטות שכם ולעזור בהקמת הסניף, פנו אלי ואוכל להכווין אתכם הלאה.
some info from the founder:
Quoted Text
The Armor Modeling and Preservation Society, Inc., or AMPS, was founded in July 1993.(The Israeli chapter is just forming) Since that time, AMPS has grown to nearly 600 members worldwide. Although AMPS's main function is as a modeling club, it is definitely a different type of modeling organization compared to IPMS or other mainstream groups. AMPS has a Constitution and Bylaws to govern how it is run, and the AMPS judging system rewards individual effort using a point system to minimize subjectivity.
The purpose of AMPS is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of the history of armored vehicles, through examination of preserved examples located in both museums and private collections, in miniature through modeling. To this end, Competition is organized into five levels - junior, basic, intermediate, advanced, and master - and the judging system rewards the modeler for his individual effort, not in comparison to other modelers.
Join us - if you like to build armor models, we'd love to have you as a member
we will follow thise same rules and bylaws http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/bylaws.aspx
I am the founder. it was my idea and my full year of planning and discussing this with the heads and otrher members of AMPS in the states and elsewhere. I have been in touch with the founders of AMPS as well as the current managing board members and was given a green light to open this cvhapter here
DUES. at this time there are no dues. we are just forming. so if we are going to get this rolling we need first to find out who wants to join and other such info
officers will be picked at a later date. we will be run by experance and desire to improve the club and not by ego's that need to be fed... anyone looking to gain from this is in the wrong arenia.... what we need are people who care about the hobby and about having a good time. (I might be a little strong on this one but the negitive stuff I got from IPMS Israel is hard to erase!)
