IPMS Region 4 contest: April 12-13, Dayton OH (paper models welcomed!)

Hello! I’m pleased to announce that my IPMS chapter, Wright Field Scale Modelers, has once again been selected to host the IPMS Region 4 convention. Our first regional, held this past April, drew 750 contest entries and we hope to do even better this year.

This year’s dates are April 12-13, 2013. Once again, the event will be held at the Hope Hotel and Conference Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, just minutes from the National Museum of the US Air Force. The venue is a great site for a contest – plenty of room and well-lighted! – and there is also on-site dining and concessions, as well as a discounted room rate for those who wish to stay overnight.

We’ve added over 20 categories and possible splits since 2012, for a new total of over 80 categories. Full information including a complete list of categories may be found here: IPMS Dayton - IPMS/USA Region 4 2013 Convention Contest Details
And, thanks in no small part to my influence, we actually have two dedicated categories for paper modelers - aircraft and non-aircraft subjects. The more paper models we see, the more likely we are to expand that in the future.

Mark your calendars now, and hope to see you in April!

Paul

Sounds great that you were able to get dedicated paper categories. At a minimum, the folks from Ohio , Kentucky and Indiana should make plans to attend.

As for me, I am still going to be in Japan for a while, but would love to visit if I am around.

I have been busy here and so far built 8 paper models ( 1/33 scale )

Thanks

Isaac

Paul, those are very good news!!

And the fact that the IPMS chapter opened Paper category, that's a huge step forward in paper modeling + IPMS.

Looking forward to see your report in 2013.
