With such a great variety of topics presented by noted speakers, authors 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 transporation as we have less than 2 months before Show time.

Cheers,
