Reporting from AMPS Nationals...

[Jeeves]

Next year's show is back to South Bend. The year after is one of these two sites again because they're willing to lock in good prices with AMPS which is getting harder and harder to do these days

Thanks Mike, great models and some really creative displays!
Thanks for posting.

Great models ,
Also i see some different styles/ looks on some models i like it .

 

[Piet]

Quite the collection of outstanding builds! Was that @Piet V-2 launch site build?

Do you mean my plastic version ?
Its done and sold.

Or the real thing?
There were a lot build in my country (Netherlands)
you can still find some concrete slabs for the launch pads and other concrete for both the V1 and V2.
We also have plenty of the Atlantikwall left .

@Adam
Hey that's your neck of the woods. I might drive up for an overnight there.

 

[Heavens Eagle]

I could probably do South Bend Indiana.

 

[Steve Ski]

Wow, all yall over yonder got some cool comps and conventions. If ever I was to go to one again it would be AMPS. I've heard nothin but good stuff from those.

I see ya got a pic of Rick, howz he doing? Met him at IMPS Seattle 2012. Man, that was a long time ago, HA!

 

[Jeeves]

He seems to be in fine shape...I tried getting a photo with him and Rob but I was busy running models between the judging tables and the display tables and our paths didn't cross enough to settle down for a pose...

That is fantastic to see. I'm glad I got to see some of this. Even with it in South Bend, it's still far too far away; I don't see myself ever attending an AMPS National.

Thanks for posting these pics so I could live vicariously through you.

They're willing to set up anywhere Mark but the local clubs are the ones that have to commit to submitting a bid to host a Nationals. I know from the annual meeting that West coast membership in small compared to the East which might be why it's mostly held on this side of the country.
