As many of you may already know, the AMPS 2019 International Show will be held at the Adams-Mark Hotel, Buffalo, New York from May 09 - 11, 2019. The Adams-Mark Hotel recently added an additional 100 rooms at the AMPS special show rate as the original block of rooms set aside for the AMPS show have now been booked. Check out the AMPS Homepage and book your room early at the AMPS show rate before they're all gone. You can reserve on-line or by phone, but don't put it off.
The AMPS 2019 International Show theme is "Snow." So, any entry, vehicle, diorama or vignette depicting a winter environment ( i.e., winter camo, non-winter camo but evidence of cold weather). In order to qualify for the AMPS 2019 theme award, a model must have either a camouflage pattern or some type of white-wash on the vehicle showing the crew attempting to blend in with the winter surroundings. Or the model doesn't have to have a winter camouflage pattern, but somehow must convey a winter or cold environment such as snow, slush or icicles present on the vehicle. Figures will also be eligible though the same rules apply; i.e. wearing winter gear or displayed on cold, winter-clad ground. The same requirement applies for dioramas and vignettes.
So, get those theme juices flowing and start planning your entries for the 2019 show.
