A Blast from the Past

I was trying to gather some of the other pictures I took from previous conventions, and I was able to download from some older galleries I created.

I re-posted the pictures to my Picasa Gallery, a 2003 and a 2004 album.

2003 International Paper Model Convention

2004 International Paper Model Convention

I hope that you like the pictures, and maybe these and the ones from 2008 might convince you to come join us in October.

Mark Your Calendars....

Or miss out on THE event for the discriminating(sic) paper/card modeler.

Just got word that October 23-25 2009 will be the weekend for the 2009 rendition of the Internationa Paper Model Convention.

We have asked the Hotel for 3 of their conference rooms, so we will have alot of tables to go around, and spread out, we also will be able to pick our own tables.

If you want to bring your kids/grandkids, we will also be setting up our Make It and Take It table, with models donated by Digital Navy, JSC, Schreiber, and Wilhelmshaven.

In past conventions, the M&T table was a hub of activity.

I guess I need to build some of the models that are usually used for the M&T table, and I will post them here, to whet anyone's appetite for the actual models.

If A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, What Would Be Video?

If you are still on the fence about attending, how about some photographic persuasion?

I have taken some video and pictures of the event and uploaded them to my picasa online album

2008 International Paper Model Convention

A couple of other attendees have posted some pictures, most can be viewed over at www.papermodelers.com

click on the 2008 IPMC post, and if you want to read all the posts in the thread you can, but if you go to page 7 and 8, you will be able to see the pictures others have taken.

I am thinking of a date....

And you get to choose.

We just wrapped on the 2008 edition of the International Paper Model Convention at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Dulles VA.
Even though we took last year off, this year's edition was a hit, even with the late information push.

So with the euphoria of the past weekend still fresh, 3 dates were offered for the 2009 iteration.

In September 2009, the weekend of 25-27
In October 2009, the weekends of 2-4 and 23-25

If you want to attend or swing on through, check your calendar, and let me know.
