Learn About Armor Scale Modeling: Minuteman AMPS Chapter Monthly Meeting & Build Day
March 21 @ 10:00 am, ending 5:00 pm
Free with standard museum admission
Join the Minuteman Chapter of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society (AMPS) for a Monthly Meeting and Scale Model Build Day at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA on the third Saturday of every month, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Watch skilled modelers as they work on their latest projects, learn more about the scale modeling hobby, and pick up tips on tools, painting, weathering, and detailing. You are also welcome to bring your own project and get hands-on help and advanced techniques from experienced club members.
The build day takes place right on the museum display floor, surrounded by world-class tanks, military vehicles, and aircraft, where history and craftsmanship come together.
The purpose of AMPS is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of the history of armored vehicles, through examination of preserved examples located in both museums and private collections, in miniature through modeling. The Minuteman Chapter of AMPS represents modelers in Central Massachusetts.
