AMPS 2021 Annual General Meeting

In previous years, AMPS has always held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) during the yearly AMPS International Show. However, since we have not held the show in 2020 or 2021, the Executive Board decided we need to find an alternative way to communicate the state of the organization to our members, at least until we resume the International Show in 2022.   To this end, AMPS will hold our 2021 AGM via Zoom, on Wednesday May 26 at 7pm US EDT. 

All current members will be able to join the Zoom meeting.  To register for the meeting and receive the Zoom link, click here: https://www.amps-armor.org/SiteMain/agm/agmsignup.aspx

It’s all the fun and features of our traditional AMPS shows, plus as this is a joint show with the MVPA you’ll also have access to all MVPA show areas and activities. See hundreds of 1/1 scale vehicles and all of the real-world scale associated vendors in addition to all the AMPS scale model goodness that you’re used to seeing at our shows! The entire 100,000 square foot convention center (and acres of vehicle parking next to the convention center) is reserved for this huge joint show. The theme for this show is "Armor of Desert Storm."

Show your COVID-19 Builds on the AMPS Website!

One of many tribulations of the COVID-imposed model show hiatus, has been the inability to show off our completed models to our fellow modelers. To help offset this lack of opportunity for bragging rights, our brilliant AMPS technical team have created a place on the AMPS website to upload photos of the models you would have taken to the AMPS International Show in 2020 and 2021.

COVID-19 Builds   2020 Show Entries   2021 Show Entries

Here’s how you do it:

1. Click the button above. If you’re not already logged in to the AMPS website, you’ll be prompted to do so. Read the tips on the page about taking and preparing your photos.
   
   
2. Click on the button that says ‘Click here to Enter and Upload Your Photos’.
   
   
3. Click on ‘Add an Entry for 2020 Show’ or ‘Add an Entry for 2021 Show’.
   
   
4. Fill in the details of your entry. Note that you must upload a photo.
   
   
5. Click ‘Save and Close’ to complete your entry or ‘Save and Add Another’ to save your current entry and add another one.

Note that uploading photos of your models to the website and ‘entering’ them does not prevent you from entering those same models in the 2022 International Show. We look forward to seeing all the great models that we would have seen in person this year, and will hopefully see at AMPS 2022.

If you run into any technical issues, please contact the Webmaster using the Contact Us form on the website.
