Paper Modelers at Army Heritage Days 2016

The annual Paper Modelers at Army Heritage Days will take place at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA, this weekend- Saturday and Sunday, 21 and 22 May 2012. Army Heritage Days

The theme this year is “Vietnam 50.” There will an exhibit of the portable Vietnam memorial wall, demonstrations, lectures, and many reenactors and living historians portraying Soldiers and equipment of the Vietnam War. As always, there will also be many demonstrations and reenactors portraying the entire history of the U.S. Army

Members of the Paper Modelers’ Forum will display models and demonstrate paper model techniques from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on those days. Rick Steffers (Rickstef), Anne McCombs, Kevin Stephens, rockpaperscissors (Don Weeks), Miles Linnaberry, John Dell, DrLaser (John Gessner) and I plan to be there, weather and circumstances permitting.

We will showcase models relating to the Vietnam War and the history of the U.S. Army, but will also display other models to demonstrate the range and scope of paper models.

AirDave (Dave Winfield) has designed a very simple M113 Vietnam-era armored personnel carrier (APC) that was widely used as an armored cavalry assault vehicle (ACAV). Dave has generously given us permission to reproduce and distribute the model as a free handout.

Thanks to Scott Fyn and Fiddlers Green, John Bowman and Design Group Alpha, Ryan Short and Lbirds.com, Cliff Button and Paper Tiger Armaments, Camille Morin (Cami), and Chris Gutzmer and the ECardmodels team for their support of the event, including permissions to reproduce models.

If you live anywhere near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA, or if you happen to be traveling through during that time, we hope you will stop by to say hello, to enjoy the Army Heritage Days activities, and to get acquainted with the USAHEC and the U.S. Military History Institute -- a great place to do research for future models, to learn about your own Army ancestors and relatives, or to make use of the vast collection of documents. There will also be a sale of used military history books by the USAHEC Foundation.
