If you or your chapter are considering sponsoring a model category at this year’s show, visit the AMPS homepage at amps-armor.org for contact information and how to make that sponsorship happen. If you are not prepared to do that, here’s another way to support AMPS. One of the highlights of any AMPS International Show is its coveted raffle. Every year AMPS is fortunate enough to receive contributions of kits, tools, books and other neat supplies for the raffle. This year is no exception. Many sponsors, vendors and individuals step up and contribute to the raffle whose proceeds help AMPS operate for the membership. If you have any kits or figures (either cellophane sealed or no cellophane, but individual bad sealed) among your stash , tools or modeling supplies you’ve never used, consider contributing them to AMPS for the raffle as we celebrate our 20th anniversary and are try to make this raffle the biggest one yet.
Hope to see you there!
