2008 IPMS-USA National Convention
Dateline Virginia Beach: On 6-9 August, IPMS/Tidewater hosted the 2008 IPMS National Convention. Modelers, vendors and manufacturers from all over the world attended, and Accurate Miniatures was proud to be counted in their number.
First, let me congratulate the convention host club for once again pulling off a wonderful show and contest! These guys worked a lot of thankless hours and it showed in the flawless way the convention came off! The Nats were held at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, a beautiful structure with fantastic amenities. The weather was perfect and the daily fly-bys of the United States Navy’s F-18 Hornets only added to the ambiance!
It was great to meet so many modelers, the people we here at Accurate Miniatures work for. We shook a lot of hands, traded lots of stories and let people in on forthcoming releases. OK, well maybe we didn’t let them in on ALL forthcoming releases, but we have to have a few surprises up our sleeves!
Thanks again to all that stopped by to say hello. If you missed us at Virginia Beach, keep an eye out. We plan to venture out to other shows on the local and regional level. We also have definite plans to attend the 2009 IPMS-USA Convention in Columbus, Ohio on 18-21 August 2009.
We’ve added a sampling of some of the fine work present on the contest tables. These are in no particular order and unfortunately are uncredited. Our photographer took some snaps to inspire himself to dig into that stack of kits he bought at the Nats. Hopefully you will find something to admire here too.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
