AMPS Central SC would like to extend an invitation to come and join us for our 2017 model contest and exhibition. This year our show will be held on Saturday, 10 June, at a new (for us) venue, the SC National Guard Armory, 1225 Bluff Road, Columbia, SC. This is a fantastic location for a...

For anyone interested and following such things, I was told today that all of the seminars to be presented at this year's AMPS convention will be put on video and up-loaded to a new "AMPS Channel" on YouTube. How this all works out remain to be seen, but it is a step forward in the right...

Good news that you're back home and recovering, Bob! Well wishes for a speedy and thorough recovery and hoping that you can get to your workbench soon. Take care and happy modeling! Mike

Hokey smokes, Bob! Hope your procedure goes as smoothly and easily as possible with no unexpected issues. The same for your recovery. Hopefully we'll get to catch up in the not too far distant future at some show or hobby shop. 'Til then, take care and recovery quick! Mike

Hope to see ya there! Mike

Sorry Andy, but to my knowledge, none of the seminars are being videoed. (Our AMPS chapter is looking at video or perhaps even live-streaming for 2016, though. Very tentative plans at this time, though.) For anyone interested, here's the current TENTATIVE 2015 AMPS International Convention...

Yep, I'll be there. I'm probably pitching the Field Judges training seminar as well as one of the Diorama/Vignette Judges training seminars (or co-presenting with Dave Vickers depending on the schedule). I'm also presenting one of the seminars, "Figure Painting with Artist Oils" on Saturday...

Very "whimsical" almost like something from a fairy tale. I wonder how the guy who built wanted it painted? Be interesting to know what colors were used on the actual house. Cheers!

Hi CR, PM sent. For anyone else local in the central SC area and who is interested in either IPMS or AMPS, please don't hesitate to PM me or contact me at: [email protected] I'll be happy to provide you information on meeting times, locations, and current activities of either...

Glad to see so much interest right off the bat! @Adam: You won't be disapointed entering an AMPS show for the first time. The judging is conducted completely different and for with completely different goals than most other model shows. The object of the exercise in AMPS is to provide the...

AMPS Central South Carolina "Wildcats" invites you to an armor-modeling show and contest. Our next annual show will be held on Saturday, July 14, 2012, at the Gymnasium, 432 Ball Park Road, Lexington, SC. This venue is the same one we used last year and is just northwest of Columbia, SC and...

Very nice, Laurent! Like the other guys, I particularly like the base and sand dunes, but the subject is one that is very deserving and a pretty important and overlooked bit of the history from the battles in North Africa. I'm researching some Italian armor subjects right now, so I'm pretty...

Awesome! There's a zillion of 'em on YouTube... PanzerAce 007 (Erik), you ought'a check out the one done to Ozzy Osborn's "Crazy Train"!

Mike: That is so freakin' cool! I gotta make me one and I know just where it'll go...

Yea, we could definitely polish up our coordination for next year. This was our first time working together like this, and I think we got all the really hard stuff done pretty well, so next time around we should be able to put a finer point on some of the show elements. We did credit each...

Hi Mike, I'll pass that suggestion on to the SCMA folks. The aircraft classes were part of their side of the show. On the AMPS (that is, the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society) side, we only registered the regular categories that are provided for in the AMPS rules, and promotion of each...

Hey, Mike, it was great to finally meet you guys! Sorry about the transportation troubles while you were enroute, but glad you found some good loot! We were happy with the overall results and enjoyed putting the show on, so maybe we can all do it again next year. Happy modeling, Mike Roof...

Erik, we'll miss ya hoss, but maybe next time! We'll take plenty of pics, though, 'cause you know if there's no pictures, it never happened! :hmmm Moonie, you guys are welcome, entries or no. Looting and pillaging the vendors is not only allowed, but highly encouraged! If yer feeling...
