Hello Armor Modelers!

The AMPS National Convention is going on the road this year and will be held at the WWII Vehicle Museum and Learning Center in Hubbard, Ohio, on April 28th-29th. This is a very exciting location to hold the AMPS national show as we will be located in the exhibit hall of the museum, surrounded by meticulously restored vehicles and equipment. Additional information about the show can be found at the AMPS website at http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/Conventions/Amps2006/Amps2006.aspx. The museum also has a website with many pictures of the exhibits at http://www.wwiivehiclemuseum.com. It looks like a terrific location to hold an armor modeling show.

Of course, one of the huge draws of the AMPS show is that for a weekend it creates the largest armor hobby store in North America! We opened vendor table sales about three weeks ago and I am happy to report table sales have been brisk, outpacing the rate of sales in past years. To date we have received requests for almost all of the 80+ tables we have planned for. Depending on the final rush to get tables, we may rearrange the vendor area to get a few more vendor tables in. I will be posting a list of vendors shortly, once we have a more definitive count and more details.

There are a limited number of tables remaining to be sold. If you would like information about purchasing vendor tables at the show, please contact me and I can either send a pdf version of our info package, or can put a copy in the mail right away.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the AMPS National Convention in April!
