Time Left to Finish Your Models:
Welcome!
We hope you are planning to attend our show, if you made it to one or more of our previous shows (2001, 2003, or 2005) then you know how exciting our fourth show will be. We will have seminars and guest speakers to bring you one to one with some of this country’s best! Come see what all the talk is about and join in the fun.
AMPS created a unique system to both judge the model and honor the modeler for artistic achievement and historical accuracy. It is a peer evaluation and mentoring and not a performance critique by experts. The system groups modelers that have similar skill levels and talents and rates the model in relation to the ability of the modeler rather than against the work of another modeler. The skill levels are Junior, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Master.
Each model is reviewed and evaluated on its own merits and never compared to another one. Established criteria determine the scoring of the model and qualify the modeler for Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. Each model is judged by a team of judges that score the model independently and the lowest score among the team is dropped. Constructive feedback is provided that sets a path to becoming a better, more skilled modeler.
