The Atlanta Model Figure Show is this weekend (our 36th annual show) and will be held February 15-17, 2013 at the Atlanta Marriot Century Center. The show is like two for the price of one as it is hosted by the Atlanta Military Figure Society and the Atlanta AMPS Chapter. Categories are both historical and sci-fi/fantasy under the open system. There is also a basic and junior division.

A very large vendor room is one of the highlights and Cool Mini will be on site with a number of tables!!! Free seminars are also offered by the clubs!

This year's show promises to be a fun and enjoyable weekend for all. Over the past 35 years, our show has become one of the most prestigous exhibitions/competitions for miniature figures in North America. From novice to master, modelers from across the Nation and around the World come to meet and exchange ideas with other modelers and to forge friendships that last a lifetime.

Absolutely my friend! So looking forward to visiting with you and our other friends, but I'm not sure our Texas amigo will be here this year :-( Your seat is saved I assure you, far far away! I have to work late with the photography team Friday night, but I'm making a point to spend some time with you! Really excited to see what your're bringing!

Should be a really good show - the pre-registration is at an all-time high! Feel free to call me on my cell if you run into any problems.
