The 2008 IPMS-USA National Convention is to be held in Virginia Beach, VA on the 6th to 9th of August 2008. For those wondering what is IPMS? It stands for International Plastic Modelers' Society. You can visit their main website here at http://www.ipmsusa.org/
Here are some highlights of the event:
It is very encouraging to hear that young modelers will get the chance to make a model kit and take it home at no charge during this event. I feel that this will help to attract more people into the scale modeling hobby.
Another main highlight is the casual dining event to be held at Jerry Yagen's fabulous Fighter Factory facility in Virginia Beach. It was stated that he has an impressive collection of airworthy World War Two aircrafts. I would love to see those if i can!
Also, the DragonEXPO 2008 will be held concurrent with the 2008 IPMS-USA National Convention. Dragon provides many quality scale models kits. I have some scale models kits from Dragon too. Their website is at http://www.dragon-models.com/
Lastly, there will be static display of scale models from the IPMS scale modeling contest. There are so many categories from aircraft to military vehicles to figures to ships. I am going to check out the photos after the event. How wonderful it will be if Singapore can also held this type of convention next time. For now, i will need to buy an air ticket and fly over to USA, Virginia Beach if i want to go to this fantastic event.
