Hey Everyone! I've been a long term follower of the work on this forum, but I'm a timid poster (since I'm a closet ship builder....shhh don't tell my friends!). I'd like to tell everyone about our upcoming model show this Fall:

Here is the Alberta Military Modellers Show website.

http://www.albertamilmodshow.ca

This new show replaces the excellent Alberta AFV Modeller Show. Our new show has it's roots in Armour Modelling, but this year on our 10 year anniversary we're expanding to include military ships, aircraft and figures. The more the merrier!

The show will be held on September 17, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at HMCS Tecumseh in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

There will be more info added to the website over the next little while. Bookmark us and continue to check our Updates page!

Most importantly the show is about modelling and sharing our projects, providing valuable feedback to entrants, meeting fellow modellers, and enjoying a full day with the hobby we all love. There will be armour, aircraft, ship, and figures entries.

The special show theme is "Black & White"...any entry with part or all of the main colour scheme in black or white will be eligible for the theme award.

Bring out your display models...especially your "WOTIF" projects whether they drive, fly, float, or walk. Everyone loves to look at projects full of imagination and hard work.

There is a writable/saveable PDF entry form on the AMMS site...it saves you tons of time when filling out your entry forms in advance and simply printing them out.

There is lots of space for private and commercial vendors...check out the site for how to register vendor tables.

We will have food at the show!...look no further for hot grub and cold drinks in the HMCS Tecumseh Galley!

There will be a silent auction! Come on out with your cash and have fun outbidding other modellers on that kit, book, decal set, or aftermarket goodie you just have to have!

As always we are looking for judges...the more the merrier and the easier for judging armour, aircraft, ships, and figures. If you are coming to the show we would love to have you judge...this show is about peer judging...it will all be explained to you in advance...your assistance and input is valuable. If you can commit a couple of hours at a day long show to judge that would be great. Get in touch if you can assist with judging armour, aircraft, ships, or figures as we can slot you in prior to the show. Please refer to the Judging section of the website for more information.

Less than 185 days left until the show!!! See you there!

For those individuals beyond a nice easy drive away, if you're looking for a reason to visit our beautiful province (Calgary, The Rocky Mountains, Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, etc) then look no further. Don't hesitate to contact us for helpful info on hotels and tourism ideas.

If you have any questions, comments, or you would like to sign up as a judge or if you want to reserve vendor tables please contact us by email at...

albertamilmodshow@gmail.com

Thanks everyone for allowing me to post about our show! We'd really like to bolster our marine entries this year and give the aircraft guys a run for their money. Cheers!

Nice! I will be in Calgary starting early September to do my Masters, so this will fit nicely! No entries though, I'm afraid - 2 weeks won't nearly be enough time to finish anything :(

Hey Tim

Thanks for the reply! Send us an email closer to the show or once you're in Calgary if you'd like some information regarding some of the model clubs and groups here in Calgary. Bookmark the website and watch for update! Cheers!

Hey Everyone!

Quick Update!
We are happy to announce that we have changed venues back to The Military Museums on Crowchild Trail SW in Calgary, AB. This is the same venue we have held our legacy Alberta AFV Modellers show the past few years. Only 3 months until the new expanded show! We are all very excited!

Check out our website for more information:
