The Northern Virginia chapter of IPMS is holding its annual Model Classic show on Saturday 25 April at Fairfax High School in Fairfax VA. Details are on the chapter web site at www.novaipms.org. A few of the IPMC regulars will be staffing a display of paper models, and Pete Heesch will be on hand with a selection for sale.
We're trying to put together a display that has a pretty good "wow" factor, and also shows the diversity of paper model subjects. The second idea is key, because the IPMS shows are typically heavy on military stuff, while we have all kinds of other things (architecture, dirigibles, birds and animals, SciFi, etc.) We've identified a pretty good selection, but could use a large-scale airplane and a large-scale armored vehicle. If any one in the area has either of those and would be willing to let us borrow it for the show, send me a PM and we can work out the logistics. Also, ideas for other things to include are welcome, but remember that we're limited to two 8-foot tables, including space for sales and demos.
To my surprise, the organizers of the show have been quite receptive to paper models. Their president went out of his way to assure me that all types of models are welcome in their displays and competitions, and even suggested that they might consider a category for paper models in future shows.
Walk-in admission to the show is $8 for individuals and $10 for families. Rules and such for model displays and competitions are on the web site. Come by and check it out if you're in the NOVA area on April 25th!
